Port Tizen to Raspberry Pi Zero

Description

Tizen is an open source GNU/Linux based software platform for mobile, wearable and embedded devices as well as Internet of Things. Tizen:Common provides a generic development environment for Tizen 3 which key features include, Wayland, Weston, EFL UI/UX toolkit, and a web runtime for safely running standalone HTML5 apps.

First a port to RPIv2 was released using the Yocto project, then rebuilt and validated on RPIv1 which uses ARMv6, so we can expect to provide RPI0 support too.

The major issue this project is facing now, is availability of device to improve support (any hint welcome).

Anyway community of RPi0 owners confirmed that system is booting fine and graphic system shows up.

If you own a RaspberryPi (0,1,2..) please comment this post to join the team.

NOTE: this is a "Work in Progress" effort, developers can also bookmark this page : https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/RaspberryPi

Since I am unable to test it (I only have RPI2 and RPI1) feedback is welcome.

Login to host (uart, ssh?) and report journalctl
a RPI0 I can login w/ ssh could help too.
Comparing to other RPI can be a good track to explore too

I can upload some updated versions based on test reports (comments or pm).

Since the wifi dongle didn't work with the RPi0, we used a RJ45 to USB adapter, connected on a USB hub (needed to connect mouse and keyboard too).
This way, the RPi0 could be accessed through ssh, and @RzR corrected some bugs.
After a reboot : it works !
We can see here a launcher on the screen, and the mouse works perfectly.
Tizen is booting on RPI0 !

... Almost.
Same configuration as earlier : a keyboard and a screen plugged directly through USB and HDMI, and the SD card with the image.
After a few seconds, the raspberry appears at the top of the screen, but nothing else happens for nearly 1 minute.
And then, an error appears :
So, no prompt for login and no session, but the keyboard works : typing ctrl+alt+delete restart the RPi !
Please test tizen-common-core-image-minimal

ARMv6 port is booting on RP1 see video
https://vimeo.com/151030672#tizen-raspberrypi1a-20160107rzr

Next step would be to try on zero, so if any of you knows where to get one , or want to try it please contact me I will share software
Please get
tizen-common-core-image-minimal-raspberrypi0-20160218053214.rootfs.rpi-sdimg.qcow2
From :
https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/User:Pcoval/Files
I will double check if it's building and if's ok I will split the file and host it here as well and refresh sandbox/pcoval/raspberrypi0 too.

Let's build it ?

Please retry, that issue is fixed

A few minutes after the beginning of the next try, an error occured :

cd /home/user/RPi-Tizen/meta-yocto-demos/build-raspberrypi0 && time bitbake-layers show-recipes *-image-*
Parsing recipes..ERROR: Unable to determine endianness for architecture 'INVALID'
ERROR: Please add your architecture to siteinfo.bbclass

ERROR: Failed to parse recipe: /home/user/RPi-Tizen/meta-yocto-demos/sources/meta-raspberrypi/recipes-core/images/rpi-hwup-image.bb

Obviously, 'INVALID' is not a real architecture ...
Next try tonight !

It was tested by @glalanne on his RPI0 , don't expect any UI this was just to test if RP0 could boot core-image-minimal
Can be downloaded from :
https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/9649412822816/core-image-minimal-raspberrypi0-20160212185939.rootfs.rpi-sdimg.qcow2

Step 1

Install to sdcard using qemu tools (compressed image) :

  lsblk # look how usb disk's device name check for size
  disk=/dev/sdZ # replace sdZ with real one (CAUTION)
  time qemu-img convert -p  -O raw  *.qcow2 $disk

This should be ok and validate that your RPI can boot our shared image.

If unclear ask for support , thanks

You can stop now or build it from scratch.

Step 2

Install GNU/Linux and setup some tools

sudo apt-get install git make # if using deb based distro

which git
which make

Step 3

Let's try to rebuild all with a single make command :

url=https://github.com/TizenTeam/meta-yocto-demos
git clone -b sandbox/pcoval/raspberrypi0 $url
make -C meta-yocto-demos

Just installed the current Pi Zero image, It boots to the Tizen screen and allows me to move my mouse around. Excited to see what future updates will bring.

Are you sure? yes | no

Ok then I can share a non tizen image just to validate it is booting will post details in real time at : https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/RaspberryPi

Are you sure? yes | no

Hello,
I just signed up in order to post here... ^^
I'm really interested in this project, because I am looking for a suitable OS for a Smartphone-like RPi Zero device. I have the Zero, but no OS for now ...
I will take a look at your code tomorrow, but I will probably need help for installation, since i know nothing about Tizen ...

Are you sure? yes | no
