F22 works great on PcDuino3 Nano

[Troy Dawson]

Hi,
I just wanted to report that F22 works very well on the PcDuino3 Nano.  In
fact, I installed the LXDE image, and this is the first time I've seen the
graphical startup screen.

There are a few things to note.
1 - The graphics were at the lowest res and couldn't get any higher. (Was
expecting this)
2 - I haven't tested the SATA yet (need to get the cables)
3 - I am using the pcduino uboot and kernel

So, not 100%, but I'm not expecting that until it's patch hits the
mainstream kernel. (Hoping 4.3)

Thank you to everyone who helped F22 work so well.

Troy Dawson
p.s. I'm planning on trying out the rawhide uboot, I'm very excited about
the 2015.07 uboot. Hopefully will have some time this weekend.
p.p.s. Until the pcduino3 patch makes it in the kernel, here is how to
install fedora on one

Thanks for the report, it's nice to hear success stories :)

Sadly we have no idea when this situation might improve due to the
MALI chipset still currently being closed.

Looking at 4.2 and u-boot 2015.07 we have both u-boot support
(Linksprite_pcDuino3_Nano) and DT (sun7i-a20-pcduino3-nano.dtb) for
it. Not sure how much is there but it should be on a par with the rest
of the A20 support.

There's at least some in 4.2 I'd be interested in hearing how you get
on with a vanilla F-23 image if you're feeling brave.

Thanks for the feedback.

That is great.  I'm very excited to see it in both uboot and the kernel.
Results thus far:
image: Fedora-LXDE-armhfp-23-20150724-sda.raw.xz
Installed image the xzcat | dd way
Installed uboot  by cd
<mountpoint>/usr/share/uboot/Linksprite_pcDuino3_Nano/
  dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 seek=8
(There was also u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb and u-boot.img in there, but
u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin was what I was using before so I stuck with it)
Stuck sd card into pcDuino and powered it on.
Booted into U-Boot 2015.07
 - Both hdmi, and usb keyboard worked in uboot land

Got the following
Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-23-20150724 Boot Options.
1:  Fedora-Minimal-armfp-23-20150724 (4.2.0-0.rc3.git3.1.fc23.armv7hl)
Enter choice: 1
1:  Fedora-Minimal-armfp-23-20150724 (4.2.0-0.rc3.git3.1.fc23.armv7hl)
Retrieving file: /initramfs-4.2.0-0.rc3.git3.1.fc23.armv7hl.img

and off it went.
It was originally failling to read the initrd at this point (which is why I
had this typed out), but I installed the image on a different sd card and
things worked.

It did originally dis not not startup the graphics. In the end this was
because the initial-setup was crashing.
After I got initital-setup turned off and did some tests in mult-user, I
switched back to graphical, and it booted right up into LXDE.
Plus, it booted into the proper resolution (1920x1200).

You might not be able to tell but "I AM EXCITED!! THANK YOU!!" :)

So, what's broken.
1 -networking
2 - initial-setup  "ImportError: No module named pyanaconda.users

I might be missing something with the networking, but all the poking I do
is acting like there isn't anything there.
How would I determine if somehow the network driver / hardware isn't being
loaded versus some userside configuration issue?

Awesome to hear :)

Known issue, I thought I had fixed this, but clearly not, will look
again next week when I'm back near devices :-/

Known issue, this is already a blocker bug for Alpha (rhbz 1244558)

If you do a "dmesg | grep stmmac" you should see the errors, it might
actually be fixed with rc4 but I'm not so sure now.

I'm 95% sure it's kernel and that we're seeing it on all Allwinner
devices, I'll get it fixed next week one way or the other. USB network
should work if you want to keep F-23 and have networking, else watch
this space next week.

Sure enough, there are the errors.

It's possible rc4 has the fix, this is rc3

I look forward to testing it on next weeks image, or whenever rc4 hit's the
images.

Just noticed this has been sitting my drafts file for a while

Everything is working now on PcDuino3_Nano, except for initial setup
scripts.  I'm not sure why.  After I get things booted up (by removing the
startup links for the initial setup stuff) I am able to run them by hand.

Image used: Fedora-LXDE-armhfp-23-20150815-sda.raw.xz
Kernel: 4.2.0-0.rc5.git0.2.fc23

Boots into a graphical LXDE desktop, correct resolution, network works.  I
currently haven't found anything that doesn't work but I have not done
extensive testing.

I'll try a newer image to see if the initial setup scripts are working  ...
but it might be a week before I get the time.
