A10S running on a soft-float (armel) distrib?

[Vincent]

Hi everyone,

I successfully used my A10S board for few days using this guide:
http://olimex.wordpress.com/2013/10/28/building-debian-sd-card-for-linux-with-kernel-3-4-from-scratch-for-a10s-olinuxino-micro/

I would like to use it with DigitalPersona U4500 readers, but this one is not provided with ARMHF driver/libs. That's why I'm looking for a way to use my A10S with an armel kernel/debian rootfs.

Is there any prebuilt armel debian rootfs for the A10S? If not, could someone give me few advices on how to proceed?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Vincent.

EDIT - I saw this very interesting article on the blog :

Unfortunately it doesn't deal with A10S...

If you have enough free time you can build your own armel image from scratch using this guide:
http://linux-sunxi.org/Manual_build_howto
Just follow every link in this page and substitute arch=armhf with arch=armel in debootstrap (if you want Debian/Ubuntu based image).

Hi progmetalbg.

Thanks for this useful link, it will probably help me later!

I finally solved my problem without switching to armel distrib. Please see my answer here:

It's cubieboard google group but my solution concerns my Olinunixo A10S.
