qwestion2 | Hi slightly different question from main room: if custom Debian/mobian/pureos images were create for an arm device and work, can I just swap out its userspace w that of same gen devuan userspace from arm images. (Leaving original custom kernel, bsp and needed firmware debs/files? | 06:53 |
---|---|---|
gnarface | yea, almost certainly yes in that case | 07:03 |
gnarface | on the x86 architectures devuan uses the same exact kernel pacakges as debian, unchanged | 07:04 |
gnarface | on arm architectures devuan only uses custom kernels because debian upstream doesn't support those boards | 07:04 |
gnarface | (and the selection is thereby limited by what volunteers have been able to donate and validate) | 07:05 |
qwestion2 | gnarface: | 07:09 |
qwestion2 | custom kernels because debian upstream doesn't support those boards: mobian kon pineph or pureos k on librem5 | 07:09 |
qwestion2 | S/kon/kernel | 07:09 |
adhoc | qwestion2: if they have an eMMC for example, you can get the arm image that would match your CPU | 07:11 |
adhoc | and then mount the device and copy the files over the mounted volume | 07:12 |
adhoc | you would then have to read up on how to boot your alternative kernel from that image | 07:12 |
adhoc | sounds doable =) | 07:12 |
