Re: arm64 images to boot raspberry pi's
Hi Mike,
I was able to add the arm64 LTSP server in a qemu-arm64 VM and also created the raspberry pi client image.
I basically followed the instructions on ltsp.org to do so.
The challenge is now to adjust the configuration of Debian Edu and qemu-arm64 VM.
Currently the original one on Debian Edu is working just fine and serving images to all i386 devices, both diskless and thin client.
The new arm64-ltsp server is used to serve diskless images for the rpi4 but is still untested since adjustments to the configuration are needed.
Is there a way to run both ltsp servers in parallel on the same subnet?
Do I have to run each on its specific subnet, e.g. by adding a third network card?
What adjustments in the configuration are needed to be able to switch from one ltsp server to the other.
Kind regards,
Roman
