SARPi Project - Slackware ARM on a Raspberry Pi


Slackware ARM current installer and packages

The SARPi2 installer image and packages has been created specifically for installing Slackware ARM current 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 current, using the official Slackware ARM current initial RAM disk and Raspberry Pi GitHub repository sources.

Additional Slackware ARM current packages

Additional Slackware ARM current packages supporting SARPi mini-projects, or any other needful purpose(s).

This SARPi installer image was created on 2021-04-07 05:59:31 UTC and uses kernel 5.10.27.

This image is the Slackware ARM current [ARMv7] installer for the Raspberry Pi 2.

* All SARPi build timestamps are based on the UTC timezone.

The installer is available as a disk image (.xz) archive to unpack and write to a SD card, or as a .zip archive containing all the necessary /boot files which you can manage yourself. Click on the filename to download. Click on 'md5' for the file checksum.

SARPi file descriptions

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

• sarpi2-installer-boot_slackcurrent - 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_slackcurrent 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_sarpi2-5.10.27 - Linux kernel package for the Raspberry Pi 2. This Linux kernel has been built specifically for the Raspberry Pi 2 device using the official source from the Raspberry Pi Foundation repository.

• kernel-headers-sarpi2-5.10.27 - kernel headers package for the Raspberry Pi 2. Kernel headers are the include files from kernel_sarpi-5.10.27 which are used by userspace programs and required when compiling most system software for Linux.

• kernel-modules-sarpi2-5.10.27 - 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 theRaspberry Pi 2 device using the official source from the Raspberry Pi Foundation 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-5.10.27 - 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.
