Re: [fedora-arm] [F15] NFS boot [howto]

Or you need the real fix, which is the new Device Tree enabled kernel images in progress that allow the board to get the MAC from dtb on boot. More details later...but we do have this fixed. The Ubuntu hack is from elsewhere - cute, but not the solution longer term :) -- Sent from my phone - message formatted and/or shortened accordingly. -----Original Message----- From: Jeffrey Bastian [jbastian(a)redhat.com] Received: Tuesday, 02 Aug 2011, 17:00 To: arm(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: Re: [fedora-arm] [F15] NFS boot [howto] On 2011-08-02 10:51, Niels de Vos wrote: > On Tue, Aug 02, 2011 at 09:16:49AM -0500, Jeffrey Bastian wrote: >> On 2011-07-30 13:18, Zoran Pericic wrote: >>> I compiled kernel with smsc mac address patch because pandaboard choose >>> random address on every boot.

Oh! I forgot the original topic: NFS boot. In that case, you probably do need a persistent MAC earlier in the boot process, which means either the patch to let you set the MAC on the kernel command line, or Ubuntu's method of using the board revision and die id.

A quick note: the /mnt/koji filesystem on the hub has been moved, it's now 2TB and can be grown further if required. -Chris

[F15] qt
by Zoran Pericic 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

I managed to compile qt but it suffer from default -fstrict-volatile-bitfields in GCC 4.6.0. This patch add -fno-strict-volatile-bitfields which resolve compilation issue. Another patch is to disable neon on non-neon armv7hl IMO. This should be same bug as one in kernel ehci-hub. armv5tel should be affected too. So is this good or it will be fixed in GCC?

Hello, I have an Advent Vega, which costs 200 GBP and has a NVidia tegra and a full size USB A port and HDMI port. I would be willing to test / work on a Fedora bulid for such a device. Stuart

[F15] NFS boot [howto]
by Zoran Pericic 02 Aug '11

This is how I configured NFS root on my pandaboard. There is also complete boot partition in [1] 1) Install grubby, u-boot and dracut-network from my repo [2] 2) Install kernel-omap. This kernel have path that allow you to set mac address for smsc95xx with smsc95xx.macaddr kernel boot argument. 3) Change KERNEL_ARG in /etc/sysconfig/uboot for dracut network boot [3] KERNEL_ARGS="ro vram=32M root=dhcp fixrtc console=ttyO2,115200 mem=460M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000 omapdss.def_disp=dvi smsc95xx.macaddr=5A:3E:83:2D:BA:41 selinux=0" 4) Add option "root-path=SERVER:PATH" to dhcp server host pandaboard1 { hardware ethernet 5a:3e:83:2d:ba:41; fixed-address 10.21.38.31; option root-path "10.21.38.4:/nfs/pandaboard1-fc15"; } 5) Run "flash-kernel --update-bootscript 2.6.38.8-36.06.fc15.armv7hl.omap" [1] http://zpericic.fedorapeople.org/boot/ [2] http://zpericic.fedorapeople.org/RPMS/ [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut/Options#Network

gcc RPMs
by Andrew Haley 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

Are at http://aph.fedorapeople.org. There's an ecj RPM too, which we need for bootstrapping Java. I'll be bringing up the Java dependencies over the next few days, and I can put them all in aph.fedorapeople.org. Andrew.

I already let Andrew know how to get these bits into the rootfs. We need a working buildroot...then we get things integrated into primary srpm. -- Sent from my phone - message formatted and/or shortened accordingly. -----Original Message----- From: Niels de Vos [devos(a)fedoraproject.org] Received: Tuesday, 02 Aug 2011, 11:15 To: Andrew Haley [aph(a)redhat.com] CC: Jon Masters [jcm(a)redhat.com] arm(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: Re: [fedora-arm] gcc RPMs On 08/01/2011 07:19 PM, Andrew Haley wrote: > I have fixed gcc RPMs. Please let me know how to get them to you so > that you can integrate them into the tree. File bugs in the bugzilla.redhat.com and have the packages include your patches (if not upstream yet). The patches should be included in the standard Fedora Packages, as an exception, some people (Proven Packagers?) seem to be able to build custom packages for the ARM repositories. I suggest that you send an email to this list with exact details on what needs patching and a short description on the 'why'. dgilmore and pbrobinson seem active in fixing ARM specific issues and build packages that are different from the standard Fedora ones. Cheers, Niels
