SARPi Project - Slacking on a Raspberry Pi


Slackware ARM 14.2 installer and packages for the Raspberry Pi 2

The SARPi2 installer image and packages has been created specifically for installing Slackware ARM 14.2 soft float port on the Raspberry Pi 2, and incorporates the kernel_sarpi2, kernel-modules-sarpi2, sarpi2-boot-firmware, and sarpi2-hacks-2.0 packages. This installer image and packages were built on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1 running Slackware ARM 14.2, using a modified Slackware ARM 14.2 initial RAM disk and the official Raspberry Pi GitHub repository sources.

SARPi file descriptions

• sarpi2-installer_slack14.2 - Slackware ARM 14.2 installer disk image (.xz) archive for the Raspberry Pi 2. The installer was constructed using a modified Slackware ARM 14.2 initial RAM disk and Raspberry Pi GitHub repository source. See the SARPi Slackware ARM Installation Guide [or the included README] for details on how to use this image for installing Slackware ARM 14.2 on a Raspberry Pi 2.

• sarpi2-installer-boot_slack14.2 - Raspberry Pi 2 boot-firmware, Linux kernel, and initrd [initial RAM disk containing the Slackware ARM installer] compressed file (.zip) archive. They are exactly the same files as those within the sarpi2-installer_slack14.2 disk image (.xz) archive. The difference being that these files can be extracted and easily managed individually, without having to write the entire image to a SD card.

• kernel_sarpi2-4.19.106 - Linux kernel package for the Raspberry Pi 2. This Linux kernel has been prepared specifically for the Raspberry Pi 2 device using the official source from the Raspberry Pi GitHub repository.

• kernel-modules-sarpi2-4.19.106 - kernel modules package for the Raspberry Pi 2. Kernel modules are pieces of object code that can be dynamically loaded into the Linux kernel to provide new functions. A lot of these modules provide support for devices such Wi-Fi adapters, sound devices, and other hardware. You can select which modules you want to load by editing /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.

• sarpi2-boot-firmware - Closed source boot-firmware blobs package for the Raspberry Pi 2. These blobs are essential for booting the Raspberry Pi device successfully. This boot-firmware was prepared specifically for the Raspberry Pi 2 device using the official source from the Raspberry Pi GitHub repository.

• sarpi2-hacks-2.0 - Fixes/modifications for Slackware ARM on a Raspberry Pi 2. See the sarpi-hacks.README for further details.

• sarpi2-kernel-source-4.19.106 - Linux kernel source used for building the kernel for the SARPi2 installer and packages. This source includes the appurtenant kernel .config file used during the build process.

Support for Slackware Linux

SARPi Project muse views ...It's always worth bearing in mind that the Slackware Linux project is funded entirely through donations. If you'd like to show your appreciation, and/or to support the development of Slackware, you're able to do so directly via Patrick Volkerding's PayPal.Me link, or Slackware Linux on Patreon.

If you're in need of help, or have something to contribute, one of the best places to get (and offer) support for Slackware Linux is on the Linux Questions Forum. Another valuable resource is the Slackware Documentation Project.
