Raspberry Pi / Re: armhf TC15

« Last post by Juanito on January 09, 2025, 02:39:29 AM »

Does a swap partition or swap file help?

The last time I tried, I’m pretty sure it was an illegal instruction that stopped things.

Raspberry Pi / Re: armhf TC15

« Last post by polikuo on January 08, 2025, 10:59:29 PM »

Hi.

I'm trying to compile firefox for armhf.
I'm having memory problem even though I'm using 64-bit kernel.

Code: [Select]

tc@pi4-1:/mnt/mmcblk0p5/compile/firefox-128.6.0$ getBuild
armhf
tc@pi4-1:/mnt/mmcblk0p5/compile/firefox-128.6.0$ uname -m
aarch64
I've tried limiting the job count to 1, but I'm still out of memory.
on idle:

Code: [Select]

Where does the ctrl+c (aka C-c or \C-c) come from? Any ideas?

It comes from the line discipline part of the TTY driver.

Extension requests / Re: MD(ADM) support for piCore

Agree,  at one point I thought I saw Bluez was going to require >195 or so.   Sooner or later we’ll get forced into it.

The last time I looked at it, later versions of udev required several MB of hwdb.

That being said I have used later versions of udev/gudev to make gnome-session work in CorePure64.

TCB Q&A Forum / Tinycore on VMWare Workstation/Fusion with Default SCSI HDD bus

« Last post by jseppa01@gmail.com on January 08, 2025, 01:43:46 PM »

Hi,

Is it possible to get TinyCore to detect disks using the default SCSI HDD Bus settings for VMWare Workstation/Fusion?

I'm aware I can instruct my users to modify the VM configuration to IDE HDD Bus instead and all is good, but I would prefer to make the install fool proof for those that don't read, lol.

Here are the packages I'm currently loading in my packer build:

Code: [Select]

# load packages
tce-load -wil \
  openssh \
  dmidecode \
  curl \
  mdadm \
  ca-certificates \
  pcre \
  filesystems-6.1.2-tinycore64 \
  mtd-6.1.2-tinycore64 \
  scsi-6.1.2-tinycore64 \
  raid-dm-6.1.2-tinycore64 \
  sg3-utils \
  open-vm-tools \
  xf86-video-intel \
  firmware-i915

I'm guessing I'm missing the SCSI HDD Bus driver or similar to get this to work?

Cheers,

Jason

Since we are stuck at udev-174. Extensions have not been updated in a while.

Although I see that LFS is now building much newer versions of udev without systems support.  So perhaps we can update.

That's what's funny...
In repo.tinycorelinux.net you'll find:

Code: [Select]

14.x aarch64 udev-lib-dev.tcz
14.x armv6 udev-lib-dev.tcz
14.x armv7 udev-lib-dev.tcz
14.x x86_64 udev-lib-dev.tcz
14.x x86 udev-dev.tcz <-- The Oddball

But...

Code: [Select]

15.x aarch64 libudev-dev.tcz
15.x armhf libudev-dev.tcz
15.x x86_64 udev-lib-dev.tcz
15.x x86 udev-dev.tcz
...at least it has a pair of matching arms!

Udev was renamed to match x86_64 in, I believe, piCore 14.

And it’s

udev-lib-dev.tcz
udev-lib.tcz

LMAO!

TCL 4.x was just put to pasture a week or so ago.
mdadm_build doesn't exist in x86 or x64 from 5.x to current
but it's in 4.x 

15xARM: libudev-dev
15x86:   udev-dev
15x64:   udev-lib-dev

Must be a Monday...
