OpenSUSE could not be missing from ARM technology. At this time, technology development has focused on Pandaboard, which has a larger generation ARM processor than the Raspberry Pi (the Raspberry Pi chose the older one because of the cost).
Bernhard M. Wiedemann (from SuSE offices in Nuremberg), managed to create an img file. He sent it to me to create the card at Summer Camp.
Let\’s see how the card is created. The procedure followed was also described in the Raspbian post.
1. First download the current version raspberrypi-opensuse-20130911.img.gz. For new releases, you should check out Bernhard\’s website.
2. Unzip the file (either graphically or terminally).
3. Enter the unzipped folder with the terminal.
4. You should see how your system recognizes the SD card. This is done with the df -h command or better with the cat / proc / partitions. Suppose, for example, that it is / dev / sdb1.
5. Now you need to unmount the SD card. This is done with the command
umount / dev / sdb1.
6. It\’s time to create your card. This will be done with the command:
dd bs = 1M if = raspberrypi-20120810.img of = / dev / sdb
PAY ATTENTION:
– The command works either if you have given su.
– Your device as recognized by your computer / dev / sdb.
– The file as you unzipped it and the folder you unzipped it.
– Because it does not show the progress of the registration, it will be late to finish. In case it gets stuck, you can stop it by opening another terminal and give the command pkill -USR1 -n -x dd as administrators.
7. You must enter the sync command before you can eject the SD card and use it.
That\’s it. Now you can have fun.
Do not forget:
You must use the passwords to enter the system
Username: root
Password: linux
