| - | ==== Manual install method ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | This method is for installing Slackware ARM 14.2 on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. | ||
| - | However, it should work for other Slackware ARM and Raspberry Pi versions. | ||
| - | |||
| - | === 1. Partition and format the SD Card === | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | $ sudo fdisk -l / | ||
| - | |||
| - | Disk / | ||
| - | 4 heads, 16 sectors/ | ||
| - | Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes | ||
| - | Sector size (logical/ | ||
| - | I/O size (minimum/ | ||
| - | Disk identifier: 0x00000000 | ||
| - | |||
| - | Device Boot Start | ||
| - | / | ||
| - | / | ||
| - | $ sudo mkfs.vfat / | ||
| - | $ sudo mkfs.ext4 / | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | Remarks: | ||
| - | * I use a 32 GB SD Card | ||
| - | * I choose 32 MB for the size of the first partition | ||
| - | * I let the empty space left for the second partition | ||
| - | |||
| - | === 2. Put the Raspberry Pi firmware in the SD Card === | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | $ git clone https:// | ||
| - | $ sudo mount / | ||
| - | $ sudo cp -r firmware/ | ||

| - | $ sudo mkdir -p ~/ | ||
| - | $ sudo cp -r firmware/ | ||
| - | $ sudo umount ~/mnt | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | === 3. Put the Slackware ARM mini root file system in the SD Card === | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | $ wget -c ftp:// | ||
| - | $ sudo mount / | ||
| - | $ sudo tar -C ~/mnt -xf slack-14.2-miniroot_01Jul16.tar.xz | ||

| - | |||
| - | === 4. Insert the SD Card in the Raspberry Pi === | ||
| - | |||
| - | Your SD Card is ready so you can insert it in the Raspberry Pi and boot. | ||
| - | |||
| - | You can connect remotely to your Raspberry Pi as '' | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | $ ssh root@raspberrypi | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | As soon as you are logged, you might want to install additional Slackware ARM packages: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | $ wget --mirror ftp:// | ||
| - | $ upgradepkg --install-new ftp.arm.slackware.com/ | ||
| - | $ removepkg ftp.arm.slackware.com/ | ||

| - | === 5. Tips and tricks === | ||
| - | |||
| - | == 5.1. Bluetooth == | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Raspberry Pi has a Broadcom chip providing Bluetooth. | ||
| - | However, the required firmware is not installed on Slackware ARM. | ||
| - | It means that you need to download and install it: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | $ git clone https:// | ||
| - | $ mkdir -pv / | ||
| - | $ cp -v misc-firmware/ | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | Then build your own Slackware ARM '' | ||
| - | |||
| - | In order to enable Bluetooth you need to add the Bluetooth module, run the Bluetooth daemon, attach the device then open and initialize the device. | ||
| - | Add the following lines to the end of the ''/ | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | if ps axc | grep -q bluetoothd; then | ||
| - | killall bluetoothd | ||
| - | fi | ||
| - | if ps axc | grep -q hciattach; then | ||
| - | killall hciattach | ||
| - | fi | ||
| - | if lsmod | grep -q hci_uart; then | ||
| - | rmmod hci_uart | ||
| - | fi | ||
| - | if lsmod | grep -q btbcm; then | ||
| - | rmmod btbcm | ||
| - | fi | ||
| - | modprobe btbcm | ||
| - | bluetoothd & | ||
| - | while ! hciattach / | ||
| - | echo " | ||
| - | done | ||
| - | hciconfig hci0 up | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | Remark: Sometimes there is a failure with the '' | ||
| - | |||
| - | You can check that Bluetooth is working by typing: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | $ hcitool dev | ||
| - | $ hcitool scan | ||
| - | $ sudo bluetoothctl | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | Now, the Bluetooth is correctly set. | ||
| - | |||
| - | == 5.2. Keyboard == | ||
| - | |||
| - | The default keyboard map on Slackware ARM is the one of United Kingdom. | ||
| - | If you want to load an other keyboard map, edit the ''/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you want to change the keyboard layout for X11, you need to copy the X11 configuration file then edit it: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | Now, the keyboard is correctly set. | ||
| - | |||
| - | == 5.3. Memory == | ||
| - | |||
| - | Unfortunately, | ||
| - | It means that you will eventually not be able to run some applications requiring more memory. | ||
| - | However, you can extend your memory by creating a temporary 4 GB swap partition: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | $ dd if=/ | ||
| - | $ mkswap /tmp/swap | ||
| - | $ sudo swapon /tmp/swap | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | You can check the current memory by typing: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | Now, the memory is correctly set. | ||
| - | |||
| - | == 5.4. Processor == | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Raspberry Pi processor can reach 1.2 GHz. | ||
| - | However, by default, it is stuck to 600 MHz even if it is used at 100%. | ||
| - | You can check the current frequency of the processor by typing: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | |||
| - | In order to reach 1.2 GHz when the processor is used at 100% (i.e., use the frequency scaling), you need to change the default governors. | ||
| - | Add the following line to the end of the ''/ | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | Now, the processor is correctly set. | ||
| - | |||
| - | == 5.5. Time == | ||
| - | |||
| - | Unfortunately, | ||
| - | That is why there is no battery included with the board. | ||
| - | It means that each time you shutdown the Raspberry Pi, the time is reset! | ||
| - | However, if you have internet access, you can update the time during the Slackware ARM boot. | ||
| - | Add the following line to the end of the ''/ | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | Now, the time is correctly set. | ||
| - | |||
| - | == 5.6. Video == | ||
| - | |||
| - | Unfortunately, | ||
| - | It means that, by default, each application requiring OpenGL will be slow. | ||
| - | However, you can reach 60 FPS with OpenGL applications on the Raspberry Pi by using the correct driver. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Firstly, you need to build Mesa (>= 17.1.10) with the VC4 DRI driver: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | $ CFLAGS=" | ||
| - | CXXFLAGS=" | ||
| - | ./ | ||
| - | --prefix=/ | ||
| - | --sysconfdir=/ | ||
| - | --with-dri-driverdir=/ | ||
| - | --with-egl-platforms=x11, | ||
| - | --with-gallium-drivers=vc4 | ||
| - | $ make -j4 | ||
| - | $ make install DESTDIR=/ | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | Then build your own Slackware ARM '' | ||
| - | |||
| - | Secondly, add the following line to the end of the ''/ | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | Then reboot the Raspberry Pi. | ||
| - | |||
| - | You can check that you are able to get 60 FPS with OpenGL applications on the Raspberry Pi by typing the following command in an X11 terminal: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | |||
| - | An other problem with the video is that the default resolution is 1824x984. | ||
| - | It means that you can see black borders around your 1920x1080 screen. | ||
| - | In order to fix that, add the following line to the end of the ''/ | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | Then reboot the Raspberry Pi. | ||
| - | |||
| - | You can check that you are using a 1920x1080 resolution on the Raspberry Pi by typing the following command in an X11 terminal: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | Now, the video is correctly set. | ||
| - | |||
| - | == 5.7. UART == | ||
| - | |||
| - | In the ''/ | ||
| - | Consequently, | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | |||
| - | An easy fix is to edit the ''/ | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | with this one: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | Then reboot the Raspberry Pi. | ||
| - | Now, the UART is correctly set. | ||
