1.2.1 与 Raspberry Pi 操作系统的差别

Raspberry Pi 操作系统是 Raspberry Pi 事实上的默认发行套件。以下段落简要说明了 Raspberry Pi 上的 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Arm 与 Raspberry Pi 操作系统之间的差别。

基于上游内核

Raspberry Pi 操作系统使用专门针对 Raspberry Pi 进行过修改的内核。SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Arm 使用适用于 AArch64 的默认 SUSE Linux Enterprise 内核,该内核源自官方主线内核。

AArch64 指令集

Raspberry Pi 上的 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Arm 是首套使用 AArch64 指令集的 Raspberry Pi 发行套件。

引导过程

在 Raspberry Pi 操作系统中会直接装载内核。SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Arm 不支持装载内核,而是使用 U-Boot 引导加载器来提供 EFI 引导环境。GRUB2 EFI 二进制文件会被链式装载,以提供图形引导屏幕。

根文件系统

适用于 Raspberry Pi 的 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Arm 使用 Btrfs 作为根分区的文件系统。为使 SD 卡性能更佳,默认会启用压缩。

1.2.2 YaST

YaST 是 SUSE Linux Enterprise 的安装和配置框架。它具有易于使用的灵活图形界面,并可在安装期间及安装之后快速自定义您的系统,因此广受欢迎。YaST 可用于配置整个系统:您可以配置硬件、设置网络、管理系统服务以及调整安全设置。所有这些任务都可以从 YaST 控制中心访问。要启动它,请在菜单中选择 YaST,或运行 xdg-su -c yast2 命令。系统将提示您输入 root 用户的口令。

The YaST control center
图 3︰ YaST 控制中心

YaST 启动时会显示可用模块的概览(图 3 “YaST 控制中心”)。单击图标即可打开相应模块。

1.2.3 Zypper

Zypper 是 SUSE Linux Enterprise 的软件包管理器。该工具可安装、更新和去除软件包以及管理软件源。

一般的 Zypper 调用语法如下:

zypper [global-options] command [command-options][arguments] ...
注意
注意:短命令格式

大多数命令都有长短两种格式。使用 zypper --help 可查看概览。

安装软件包
# zypper install mplayer
去除软件包
# zypper remove mplayer
列出可用补丁
> zypper list-patches
安装可用补丁
# zypper patch
注意
注意:安装软件更新

建议使用 YaST 联机更新程序来安装可用的软件更新。要启动该程序,请在 IceWM 菜单的桌面应用程序下的设置中选择联机更新

1.2.4 限制

显示未启用硬件加速

为提高系统稳定性和可靠性,禁用了 X.Org 硬件加速。

有关其他限制,请参见 https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/aarch64/SUSE-SLES/15-SP4/ 上的联机版发行说明。

2 安装

适用于 Raspberry Pi 的 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Arm 作为 microSD 卡的 XZ 压缩映像文件分发。本章将引导您完成用于首次引导的 microSD 卡的准备过程。如果您已有包含映像的 microSD 卡,则可以跳过本章,直接转到第 3 节 “首次引导”

注意
注意:SD 卡空间要求

建议使用容量至少为 8 GB 的卡。

警告
警告:卡上的所有数据都将丢失!

如果执行下面的过程,SD 卡上的所有数据都将被重写,因此会丢失且无法恢复。选择映像写入过程的目标设备时,请务必小心。

2.1 准备 Linux 上的卡

在插入 SD 卡之前及之后,运行 lsblk 命令。两次运行 lsblk 的结果中,应该会有一或多行的内容不同。第一列的第一行是表示您系统中 SD 卡的节点名称。要将映像写入卡中,请使用 dd 命令:

xz -cd IMAGE | dd of=/dev/SDCARDDEV bs=4096
例 1︰ 使用 dd 将映像写入卡中

此命令会将映像 SLES15-SP4-Minimal-Image.aarch64-15.4-RaspberryPi-GM.raw.xz 解压缩到 SD 卡 mmcblk0

> xz -cd SLES15-SP4-Minimal-Image.aarch64-15.4-RaspberryPi-GM.raw.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4096 iflag=fullblock status=progress

2.2 准备 Microsoft Windows 操作系统上的卡

下面的步骤将引导您完成将映像安装到 Microsoft® Windows® 操作系统上的 SD 卡的过程。您需要满足以下先决条件:

  1. 使用 Easy 7-Zip 打开下载的映像。将文件内容解压缩到有足够可用空间的目录。

    7zip extraction dialog
  2. 运行 Win32 Disk Imager 并选择解压缩的文件作为映像文件。然后,选择正确的驱动器号作为设备。单击写入开始该过程。

    Win32 Disk Imager Writing Process
    注意
    注意:确定正确的设备

    如果您不确定要从列表中选择哪个驱动器号,请取出 SD 卡,然后再次运行 Win32 Disk Imager。消失的选项就是正确的目标设备。

2.3 准备 macOS 上的卡

下面的步骤将引导您完成将映像安装到 macOS® 上的 SD 卡的过程。您需要满足以下先决条件:

  1. 在下载的映像的储存位置打开查找器。使用打开方式选项选择 The Unarchiver 而不是默认的 Archive 实用程序,然后将内容解压缩到有足够可用空间的目录。

    Open the Image with The Unarchiver
  2. 打开一个终端窗口,然后切换到解压缩的映像的目标目录。在插入 SD 卡之前及之后输入 diskutil list,以确定要使用的设备。

  3. 运行 diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX,其中 X 是上一步中的磁盘号。

  4. 运行 sudo dd bs=4096 if=imageFile.raw of=/dev/diskX,其中 X 是磁盘号,imageFile.raw 是解压缩的映像的名称。

    > sudo dd bs=4096 if=SLES15-SP4-Minimal-Image.aarch64-15.4-RaspberryPi-GM.raw.xz of=/dev/disk4
    Password:
    5550+0 records in
    5550+0 records out
    5819596800 bytes transferred in 1131.796649 secs (5141910 bytes/sec)
  5. 现在照常卸载磁盘(现标记为 EFI)。

3 首次引导

要从已准备好的 microSD 引导 Raspberry Pi,请将卡插入卡槽,然后连接显示器、以太网网线、USB 键盘和鼠标。打开 Raspberry Pi 的电源。如果一切正常,屏幕上应该会显示文本。

9 GNU free documentation license

Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA. Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or non-commercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.

We have designed this License to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.

A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language.

A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.

The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.

The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.

A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".

Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only.

The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named sub-unit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.

The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.

You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or non-commercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.

You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.

If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.

If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.

It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:

  1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.

  2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.

  3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.

  4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.

  5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.

  6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.

  7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.

  8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.

  9. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.

  10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.

  11. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.

  12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.

  13. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.

  14. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.

  15. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.

If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.

You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.

You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.

The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.

The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.

In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements".

You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.

You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.

Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.

If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title.

You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.

Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.

Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
A copy of the license is included in the section entitled “GNU
Free Documentation License”.

If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the “with...Texts.” line with this:

with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.

If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation.

If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.
