December 2017 - arm - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Jan Pazdziora

Hello, I've got Banana Pi M64 on which I am able to run 2017-08-14-ubuntu-16.04-mate-desktop-beta-aarch64-bpi-m64-sd-emmc.img from http://www.banana-pi.org/m64-download.html reasonably well, except for failing WiFi connections to hidden SSID networks and for kodi being unbearably slow, even the UI and mouse movements. So seeing Ubuntu MATE not failing completely, I thought I'd give Fedora a try. I've used Fedora-Minimal-27-1.6.aarch64.raw.xz Upon boot I see U-Boot (?) output and EFI lines and then row of Tuxes and initial boot messages but then my TV goes blank. At no point during the boot (like grub interface) do I have USB (mouse, keyboard) working. When I add the dtb symlink to workaround https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1528575 I see wired networking and DHCP working. Upgrading kernel seems to break the wired networking https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1528593 but with all the other packages from updates upgraded, the board still works including wired networking and DHCP. The initial-setup.service seems to be looping during the boot and it seems to also affect dnf operations so I've disabled it. Is there any opinion about how well can Banana Pi M64 be supported by Fedora at this point, given that the board seems fine under Ubuntu MATE but that might include some non-OSS bits that we might not want in Fedora. Specifically missing at this point seems to be USB support, console after boot, and WiFi networking. Is there anything which might be useful to try? -- Jan Pazdziora Senior Principal Software Engineer, OpenShift Security Team, Red Hat

Summary of Fedora on Odroid XU4

by arm_ml＠rirasoft.de

Summary of Fedora on Odroid XU4 1. with Kernel 4.6.5-300.fc24 system boots without failure, but update to newer kernel fails due dracut didn't build suitable intramfs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1482825 2. newer kernel works only with "cpuidle.off=1" inserted into the "append" kernel line in the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file, but all USB3 Hosts failed, no onboard ethernet 3. To boot the system from the eMMC card: A. The initramfs image file must be rebuilt. The simplest way is to: a. Boot up using the MicroSD card; b. Partition the eMMC card such that partition 1 begins on sector 3072 (Default starting sector from fdisk is 2048). There should be 4 partitions created; c. Mount the Fedora image desired to be installed on the eMMC card; d. Copy all partition data from the mounted fedora image partitions (there are 4 for Fedora 26 ARM images) to the appropriate eMMC partitions; e. Update the UUID values on what will be the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file and /etc/fstab files of the eMMC card; f. Assuming the eMMC partitions are mounted as such -- mount /dev/mmcblk1p4 /mnt mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt/boot then perform the following mounts -- mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys B. Rebuild the eMMC card's initramfs by executing the following command: chroot /mnt dracut --add-drivers='pwrseq_emmc mmc_block' /boot/initramfs-4.11.8-300.fc26.armv7hl.img 4.11.8-300.fc26.armv7hl C. Flash the boot information in the header of the eMMC card; C. Shutdown the system, then remove the MicroSD card; D. Boot up using the eMMC card. 4. If the system is to be updated using "dnf update", a new initramfs image must again be generated. This can be done using steps 1f - B. above using the new initramfs and kernel images provided by the "dnf update". ---------------------------------------------------------------- Note to the developers/maintainers of dracut: The kernel modules "pwrseq_emmc" and "mmc_block" should be included in dracut for the Odroid-XU3 and Odroid-XU4 such that the user need not have to execute this procedure each time and update to the system is performed. Is this correct and complete ? Andreas

activation of SPI on fedora26 with a raspberry3

by christophe pages

Hello, I try to activate the spi on my raspberry3 using a fedora 26. I tried these options: device_tree_param=spi=on dtoverlay=spi-bcm2708 I use this kernel: 4.12.5-300.fc26.armv7hl I see that the support in kernel seems already inside: CONFIG_SPI=y # CONFIG_SPI_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_SPI_MASTER=y But I never see the devices /dev/spi* appearing. I can't see any messages regarding spi in dmesg. I tested with a raspbian and I see them correctly. I think I miss somethiing. Could you help. Thanks.
