[Chris Tapp]

Is anyone on this list considering (or working on) a BSP for the  
Raspberry Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs) ?

For those that haven't seen it, it's a credit-card sized 'home pc'  
aimed primarily at educational users that includes a 700MHz ARM11  
core, HDMI, OpenGL ES 2.0, ethernet and audio for about $35. It will  
be supporting Debian, Fedora and ArchLinux at launch.

Looks like a good board for people that want to get in to Yocto /  
embedded linux. Also looks like it's a good platform for some of my  
stuff...

I would be interested in working on a BSP / distro if anyone is  
working on it or would like to work on it.

I'm not aware of anyone working on this but I like the idea of a BSP for
it and it shouldn't be too hard to do. I'd be happy to ensure we have a
repository somewhere on git.yoctoproject.org to support this (and any
other similar BSP efforts) if that would help?

Cheers,

Richard

We can also help here @ Wind River. This board is one that's on my short
list for the BSP refresh covered by:

http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1634

So I'd like to see it right in the yocto kernel as a hardware reference
platform.

I'm about to finalize a suggested list of boards and after that, we can
see what resources/people want to collaborate on some BSPs.

Cheers,

Bruce

Looks like the Raspberry Pi is not quite available yet, sadly! Hopefully we
can do one for 1.2.

Thanks Richard, that sounds like a good idea.

Use as a hardware reference platform is exactly the sort of thing I  
was think of.

Not quite. It's been due 'any time now' for a couple of months, but it  
looks as if it's now going to be early 2012.

It looks like a few of us are going to be busy in the New Year...

Somehow they managed to convince Broadcom to release a datasheet for the 
SoC: http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/615

Yes,  I'm on the list to get one (from Nokia's QtonPi program) end of

One of my friends sent me a funny quote he saw today:

"The most amazing thing about this device is the ability to download a
Broadcom spec sheet without a pile of signed NDA's, 4 months of
negotiations, and not having to talk to a single lawyer.  Way more
impressive than a $35 Linux board! :D"

Very impressive indeed. I run a Raspberry Pi website at the moment, and 
in due course I plan on (attempting) to write a BSP for Yocto and maybe 
do a blog post on setting up quemuarm so people can play with a cross 
compile toolchain and learn how to use yocto in the process.

However, have you seen the kernel sources? Very slapdash in places, 
someone is going to spend a lot of time if they wish to get them 
upstream, they didn't even release them as patches, just as a source 
tree... tut tut.

Well, I've finally got to the top of the order list and should be getting some hardware within the next few days. Time to get started!

I guess the first thing to do is get a kernel built. I'm not up-to-date with ARM - are there any BSPs available for similar devices / the ARM11 core?

Hi Chris & all - there is a small group working on a Yocto Project BSP
for the Raspberry Pi, particularly to get Qt working (this is the
QtonPi group to which Brian referred in an earlier message). I can put
you in touch with them if you like.

This board is not related to Freescale. I'd check for other mailing

Since installing DPDK is not an easy task I wanted to make sure the Raspberry Pi was a supported platform before I spent time on it. I looked at the hardware compatibility list and the Pi wasn’t on it but there were also messages talking about ARM7 and ARM8 support in DPDK so I was wondering if maybe was supported.

I also have the Netgate box.

Michael,

There is no PMD for RPi, so you'll have to run AF_PACKET (librte_pmd_packet) or simila via tap interfacesr.

DPDK-IN-A-BOX is designed (by Dave Hunt at Intel) to provide an easy startup and introduction to DPDK.
