I am unable to install python-usb and python-pyserial packages for the RPI aarch64 SLES.  
I was able to install them in aarch64 opensuse running in a virtual.

How might we get these packages for RPI aarch64 SLES?

Hi and welcome to the Forum 🙂  
The best way… [https://packagehub.suse.com/](https://packagehub.suse.com/) If you can ask the maintainers of the packages to push them to the backports repository then they will appear…  
[https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=devel%3Alanguages%3Apython&package=python-usb](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=devel%3Alanguages%3Apython&package=python-usb)  
[https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-pyserial](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-pyserial)

Else add the aarch64 devel:languages:python repo and install from there…

```auto
zypper ar -f -g -n SLE12-SP2-RPI-Python http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/SLE_12_SP2/ SUSE_Linux_Enterprise_for_the_Raspberry_Pi_12_SP2_aarch64:SLE12-SP2-RPI-Python
zypper ref
zypper in python-usb python-pyserial
```
