What is our cutoff for “mainline?”
I was quite successful with Yocto Project for the SoCs I use.
Now do RISC.
Replace Linux with NetBSD, and then I’ll just put my entire hand on the touchscreen
Probably would also work with Linux
Linux takes 4.76 days to boot on an ancient Intel 4004 CPU — CPU precedes the OS by 20 years
In essence, to bridge the hardware/software divide, the enthusiast emulated the more capable MIPS R3000 processor, which boasts the required C compiler support.
As long as they can talk to external storage, which I expect all of them can, all of them can probably emulate each other, so all of them can probably boot Linux.
The power of Turing completeness.
Technically it would be possible to boot Linux on a deck of Magic: The Gathering cards. During your opponent’s turn.
gotta go rockchip, no?
It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that’s all I have :-( - Linux Torvalds (1991)
I’ve never heard of this “Linux” thing but it sounds like it doesn’t support any of them 😤
All it needed were people willing to port it to other architectures, which usually helps with open source projects.
I think Linux has implemented support for more things since then. He’s just an upstanding guy.
I love his Linux Tech Tips show.
Great guy, that Linux Torvaldx
Enough with this politically-correct bullshit. It’s Linuo or Linue.
He’s the best.
Everything except mediatek
Unless you are talking about network hardware
The purity testing is real…😭
Well, at least one is an FPGA not an SOC…
Implement an SOC on the FPGA and boot away!
But you can put a MicroBalze in there and boot Linux.
So it turns out you can, see my other post, I stand corrected
Well, nobody said that the images will only be of SoCs. The request was to select all SoCs that can boot mainline Linux.
In regular captcha you get requests that say “select all traffic lights”. Guess what, not all squares will be traffic lights.
Isn’t it all of them?
Isn’t it none of them, because they all want special-snowflake configurations that are supported by the vendor and not upstreamed to “mainline?”
There’s an Intel one in there…
Yeah, but it’s for a PXA255 XScale (ARM) processor, not x86. I’m trying to figure out if it requires any binary blobs or other non-mainline tweaks for Linux to work on it, but haven’t found a definitive answer yet.
what the fuck bro
Safe guess is never stop clicking
There’s one empty square.
Oh :)
it’s just de-labeled, determined penguins can overcome that
rk3399 from experience
Ohhh, there’s a fork for that.
rk3399 has been on mainline for a good while, no? I think rk3588 is too at this point, even.
