Squeezed Arm Puppy for Raspberry Pi, alpha4
It seems to me that the work being done with Wayland is all to solve a problem that Puppy has already 'solved' by running in RAM and consequently being much faster than Raspbian.ally wrote:there is a lot of work being done on wayland to replace X which will allow the gpu to take over the graphics needs that the cpu currently has to handle
Of course Puppy has problems of it's own. It's not been updated for RPi model B and it can't handle the GPU.
Much appreciated you kept me updated on the Dev och this RPi "toy"amj wrote:It seems to me that the work being done with Wayland is all to solve a problem that Puppy has already 'solved' by running in RAM and consequently being much faster than Raspbian.ally wrote:there is a lot of work being done on wayland to replace X which will allow the gpu to take over the graphics needs that the cpu currently has to handle

I am too lazy and lack the know how to make anything work
so I have to step back and let others do the actual work Sorry!
But I love the concept of having these small no-fan-silent motherboards.
But I will wait for the Intel ship versions so it is more easy
to get Puppy going instead of using the ARM way to do it that way.
And Intel seems to be at it I've heard. .
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I'm glad you found the answer.
... and I'm pleased to hear I'm not the only person still using alpha4 on RPi/RPi2.
Learning what you can do via careful modification of the config.txt file is a worthwhile exercise.
Unfortunately, Debian have quite recently taken the squeeze armel repository off-line.

I discovered that
This forces the monitor to HDMI mode . This helped stabilise my screen.

I wrote a script to set the time and date without the need of the internet.
I gettext'd it. French translation. It can be launched from start menu.
A zero is optional character at beginning of time.

Version 1.1 of Raspi time date
I made a small change so accidental blank spaces at beginning or end
of time entry is removed.

Uextract works well with alpha4. I was able to open up RPM packages.

Ok I need some initial help , I have a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and been trying to install this for the past 3 days and nothing, Tried micko's also and nothing. Raspbian boots just fine, but I really dislike the way debian works and Facebook is really slow and draggy on it. Puppy by far would be the best option and I would like to use it.
Raspbian is on a 8GB micro sd (10) was installed using NOOBS
I also have a 16GB micro sd (10) and a 32 GB micro sd (10)
I tried formatting them as FAT 32 and NTFS, LBA Boot
Nothing works, keyboard doesn't light up, Monitor doesn't come on. All the files copy and I tried the configure.txt. must of tried it 50+ times. a bit frustrated
I'm using Barry's img to sd card code
# unxz --stdout raspi-sd-4gb-sap6-5.105.img.xz | dd of=/dev/sdb
# sync
I'm using a hdmi to VGA adapter that works with Raspbian. Other than that its stock Pi.
Any help welcomed. From formatting the format of the micro sd and flags, to conigure.txt editing for the HDMI to VGA. etc I'll try anything.
Thanks

Ok I'll give that a try and let you know. Thanksally wrote:hey ttuuxxx
I always extract the image and then
dd bs=4M if=raspi-sd-4gb-sap6-5.105.img of=/dev/sdb
sync
sync
never fails me so may be worth a try
if you can get hold of the rpi2, MUCH quicker, a delight and it's the same money
ps: fat32 formatted
I have a Pi 2 Model B, Its the fastest one they sell. Its better than the zero.

what a plonker I am
rpi2 has armv7 not the v6 raspi was built for
go here: http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot
there is puppy alpha 4 from the download os option after running berry boot or you can add raspi manually
also, if you see the fatdog arm thread you can run fatdog using the bootloader with a config.txt mod
my bad....

That worked a treat. Ok now that I know the alpha4 on here is arm 6 only, what happens when it downloads Berryboot? How's it converted? Must be a manual way of doing it? anyways Thanks once again.

sorry I not entirely sure what you are asking
if it's how to run berryboot:
download the rpi2 berryboot file
http://sourceforge.net/projects/berrybo ... p/download
extract to a folder of your choosing
copy the extracted files from the folder (don't extract directly, didn't work for me) to a clean fat32 card
whack it in the pi and follow the instructions, download and install an os from the list
after a reboot you can add an os .img file manually
armv7 is backwards compatible so it can run armv6 but need a device specific (rpi2) bootloader, berryboot fulfils this function
if this wasn't what your question was please ask it again.......

Squeezed Arm Puppy for Raspberry Pi, alpha4
https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspbe ... 3-on-sale/
Exactly four years ago, on 29 February 2012, we unleashed the original 256MB Raspberry Pi Model B on a largely unsuspecting world. Since then, we’ve shipped over eight million units, including three million units of Raspberry Pi 2, making us the UK’s all-time best-selling computer. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has grown from a handful of volunteers to have over sixty full-time employees, including our new friends from Code Club. We’ve sent a Raspberry Pi to the International Space Station and are training teachers around the world through our Picademy program.
...
A 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU (~10x the performance of Raspberry Pi 1)
Integrated 802.11n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.1
Complete compatibility with Raspberry Pi 1 and 2
