How build soft-float image for Orange Pi Zero

[itp]

I want use OPIZero as print-server for Samsung ML-1865w.

But there are not hard-float samsung's proprietary utilities.

 

Explain please how I can build SD image for OPIZero with soft-float version Ubuntu or Debian server.

 

Or may be anybody knows way to run soft-float in hard-float OS.

After weekend meditation I build armel version of Debian for OrangePi-Zero.

 

And it works.

 

Limitations:

1. There are no armel port for Ubuntu, only Debian.

2. There are no armel version in repository http://apt.armbian.com/dists/jessie/

 

Howto:

1. Git clone Armbian development

2. Modify in lib/configuration.sh switch by appending third section for armel

case $ARCH in

arm64)

[[ -z $KERNEL_COMPILER ]] && KERNEL_COMPILER="aarch64-linux-gnu-"

[[ -z $UBOOT_COMPILER ]] && UBOOT_COMPILER="aarch64-linux-gnu-"

[[ -z $INITRD_ARCH ]] && INITRD_ARCH=arm64

QEMU_BINARY="qemu-aarch64-static"

ARCHITECTURE=arm64

[[ -z $INITRD_ARCH ]] && INITRD_ARCH=arm

[[ -z $INITRD_ARCH ]] && INITRD_ARCH=arm

QEMU_BINARY="qemu-arm-static"

ARCHITECTURE=arm

;;

esac

3. Run ~/compile.sh ARCH=armel and ignore warning of configuration.sh
