Release: Slackware AArch64 into -current
Hello
Slackware AArch64/ARM64 has been released into the wild, initially supporting the RockPro64, Pinebook Pro and Raspberry Pi 4 (and RPi3 as I've been well informed!). Further support can be enabled by the community by reading the documentation I will finish in the next few weeks.
Some support - particularly on the RPi4 - aren't exactly where I want them, but this is contingent upon upstream support, so I expect the wrinkles will be ironed out at some point.
Thanks to the supporters for being able to make this happen.
Enjoy.
Stuart <mozes@slackware>

I’ve been waiting for this moment, I had tested the slarm64 a bit previously, yet am excited to see this ship with 5.17 kernel. Support for M1 isn’t upstreamed yet, but this should make things easier long-term for me. I hope to have this running tonight!

Thanks for getting this out. Installs easily, all good except for sound. I can't locate the modules for the sound card. I'll have at it as time allows.

Yes, but shouldn't that (excellent) link be the content of http://ftp.arm.slackware.com/slackwa...ineBookPro.txt ?
Right now that file only contains
Code:
NVME: kingston a2000
12:41 <mralk3> the pine64 wiki lists which disks work and do not
which isn't installation instructions.

Exactly - it'll be there once I push the next batch out.

Yes, it appears the video core driver for bcm2835 is missing. I am building a kernel with that enabled to verify that is all that was missing. Unless MoZes beats me to it, I will be happy to share/build the kernel packages and share them in my user directory.

The kernel packages are uploaded here: http://slackware.uk/slackwarearm/people/brent/testing/
It looks like HDMI sound is working again on my Raspberry Pi 4. Anyone is welcome to try out the Pi 3.
EDIT: Keep in mind, these are staging drivers, so there may be bugs.

The rpi3 installer image lacks `bcm2710-rpi-zero-2-w.dtb` and `bcm2710-rpi-zero-2.dtb` that'd make it work on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (which is broadly compatible with an rpi3 I think). As a dirty hack I took those 2 files from `sarpi/rpi3/current-armv7/pkg/kernel_sarpi3-5.15.26-armv7-1_slackcurrent_05Mar22_sp1.txz` and managed to get a bit further (but not fully boot the installer yet and I don't have much time to tinker before the week-end)
