piCore Final Releases / Re: piCore 16.0 Release

« Last post by daab on October 26, 2025, 04:44:00 AM »

Hi,
I've noticed a discrepancy between the arhmf and aarch64 releases in terms of SDL2 packages
The package names are inconsistent and there are fewer packages on armhf

AFAICT for release 16.x the aarch64 packages are
sdl2-dev.tcz
sdl2-image-dev.tcz
sdl2-image.tcz
sdl2-mixer-dev.tcz
sdl2-mixer.tcz
sdl2-net-dev.tcz
sdl2-net.tcz
sdl2.tcz
sdl2-ttf-dev.tcz
sdl2-ttf.tcz

and for armhf
SDL2-dev.tcz
SDL2_image-dev.tcz
SDL2_image.tcz
sdl2_mixer-dev.tcz
sdl2_mixer.tcz
SDL2.tcz

Please can we have the full set of packages for armhf with the same names as aarch64?

Many thanks.

Microsoft Windows, UEFI, SecureBoot, TPM, and Dual Booting Video - Rob Braxman

Rob Braxman: Dual Boot Is Easy...Until It Isnt: Failsafe Techniques to Keep Microsoft From Screwing It Up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSZKouwQm9Y

recent video by Rob Braxman regarding dual booting windows and linux. good detailed information, approximately 30min

mostly wanted to post this because of the possibility of a new batch of first-time visitors who want to continue to use their current computer and are willing to experience linux

also as a sidenote, posting this from EasyOS and Seamonkey and just now seeing all the extra stuff above and below this text-entry window
(must be stuff NoScript/uBlockOrigin/etc keeps from loading on my other browsers)

edited to add that youtube doesn't play on Seamonkey(EasyOS has Chromium also which does play youtube)

Thank you Rich. I much appreciate your response and gadget42's response.

The pinctrl-cherryview suggestion did not work; the comma separated black list did.

I have started to analyze the modules list differences between LMDE and Tiny Core as the keyboard does work under LMDE. No conclusion yet -- the LMDE modules list is considerably longer.

Thank you again for your responses. The people contributing to this forum have bailed me out too many times to count.

regards,
ctor

Hi ctor
Does it see your keyboard if you change this:

Code: [Select]

linux /boot/vmlinuz64162 quiet noswap ...
to this:

Code: [Select]

linux /boot/vmlinuz64162 quiet noswap pinctrl-cherryview ...
By the way, I don't think you need to include  blacklist=  multiple times:

Code: [Select]

... blacklist=bcma blacklist=ssb blacklist=b43 blacklist=mei ...
This comma separated list should work too:

Code: [Select]

... blacklist=bcma,ssb,b43,mei ...

Thank you gadget42.

Issue resolved -- previous errors were non-issue. Here is the real issue found in dmesg:

Code: [Select]

i8042 i8042: probe with driver i8042 failed with error -22

The kernel was running but laptop keyboard was not responsive. Fixed by adding an USB keyboard.

Lesson learned -- more observability is very important! So much time wasted...
