Tizen for Firefly-RK3288

Hi,

Tizen is a Linux-based open-source software platform which supports HTML5 application development for all device areas.
I am happy to announce that was able to boot Tizen:Common from microSD card on Firefly-RK3288 development board with Linux kernel 3.10, Wayland and framebuffer support.

The Tizen:Common image for Firefly-RK3288 is available for download at: http://pc.cd/cNU

It is recommend to update the bootloader of the development board to RK3288Loader_uboot_V2.17.02.bin to ensure that it will be capable of booting images from microSD card. After that you copy the provided Tizen:Common image on micro SD with 8GB or more capacity. To do it replace X with the letter corresponding to the micro SD card and execute the following commands to copy the image on micro SD card using a personal computer with Ubuntu (another Unix-like OS or Linux distribution):

umount /dev/sdX*
tar -jxvf tizen-rockchip-firefly-rk3288-20141226.tar.bz2
sudo dd if=tizen-rockchip-firefly-rk3288-20141226.img of=/dev/sdX
sync

Configuration files required to get Tizen:Common running Firefly-RK3288 has been shared at the Tizen-rockchip project at GitHub:https://github.com/leon-anavi/tizen-rockchip

Best regards,
Leon

Is there a way to install it to internal EMMC?

See it's 7GB free space.

Is it possible to mount the image in Linux and reduce the free space to eg. 1-2GB?

When I try to mount it complains about vfat or filesystem not correct.

What filesystem is used for the image?

The SD-Card mounts correctly.

When I boot it the only thing i see are 4 Windows with names and inside

Ternimal - it runs

Webcam - Does nothing

Video - Does nothing

Web Browser - Does nothing

Is there anything else to do in Tizen?

Thanks

Looks interesting, I guess there is no gpu acceleration because of fbdev?
