ARM box?

[Jeroen Demeyer]

William, you once or twice mentioned that you were going to order an ARM
box for Sage development. Did anything happen already?

[Christopher Swenson]

Raspberry Pi?

Though I think running qemu would be faster...

No, a Trim-Slice H250:

I bought it. It arrived. I plugged it into the monitor in my office
and it didn't "just work" at all (in fact, no sign of life, really).
I haven't touched it since.

Andrew Ohana is back on campus and wants to try to set it up. He
plans to try about a week from now.

Was there any progress on this?

Perhaps one should think about setting up an emulator, based on
QEMU (http://wiki.qemu.org/). See e.g.
http://www.aurel32.net/info/debian_arm_qemu.php

It's of course less "authentic", but this is apparently how
most ARM soft is developed, on emulators, that is.

I am all in favor of running one of these on the sage virtualized
build farm, which doesn't exist yet, but for which I *have* bought
some hardware.

In the meantime, if you would like to try setting something up on
geom.math.washington.edu, I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 on there and
KVM/qemu. If you're interested I can add you to the appropriate
groups so you have any permissions you might need (maybe qemu doesn't
need anything, but kvm definitely does).

Sorry, I've been very busy with classes, but I'll see if I can't find a bit of time this week to finish setting it up. That said, I think it would be best to make the device solely a buildbot, as it only has 1GB of RAM, and instead use an emulator for general Sage development (where we have the freedom of throwing more RAM at it).
