I have a orange pi zero 2 board. With a h616 soc. I have tried dd'ing the .raw file in to microsd card with the Fedora 35 image, even some centos ones. Nothing happens, it doesn't boot. After dd'iong the main image file, i I even tried copying the u-boot file like the centos wiki shows, same result, nothing. dd if=/root/orangepi_zero2/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 seek=8 conv=fsync,notrunc
Is there a way to make fedora or even centos working on this board? That would be great.
My initial thoughts were "we build a U-Boot it should work" but when I started to dig it needs more investigation.
The U-Boot support normally doesn't landed until the DT is upstream in the kernel, but this has and the DT for H616 isn't upstream, which means the core support isn't either. There's also something wrong with our U-Boot build.
Did you manage to source a UART cable?
I'll get back to you on this one, it'll need a little more investigation. I suspect we'll be able to support it in F-37.
So as a follow up to this, the support isn't yet upstream for the H616 SoC [1], although it's not far off I'm not sure it if will land for the 5.19 kernel.
Short answer is we don't currently support it, ATM it's too early to tell if we'll be able to support it for F-37, but I will fix up the firmware builds before then so when support does land upstream it should just begin to work.
