[fedora-arm] Re: Fedora on allwinner h616
Hi,
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.
