Re: [fedora-arm] Getting FC21/arm to boot on beaglebone black/beagle XM/beagleboard/Mele A2000

Apparently this did not make it to the list. Guess this is because my list
membership was not approved yet then.

u-boot & the kernel in F-21 do not support hdmi out on A10 devices, however
rawhide does, so give rawhide a try with the A1000 u-boot (from rawhide)
that should give you video output and hopefully will tell you more.

Getting FC21/arm to boot on beaglebone black/beagle XM/beagleboard/Mele A2000

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Hi Hans, all

Took a bit of time, but managed to do a test with
Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-rawhide-20150128-sda.raw.xz
<https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/6681/8756681/Fedora-Xfce-a...

I also took the u-boot from that one. Md5sum:
0829a585ac67b135e2a9f0b1a9279c0d  u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin

I did check both VGA and HDMI but got no output on either ports.

I could ssh into the board with some effort:
The information here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F21/Installation#FAQ
is incomplete.
I also had to disable selinux (the keys I had did not have an selinux
context)
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/nl-NL/Fedora/11/html/Security-Enhanced_Linu...

I also tried startx but it complained that no screens were found.

fpaste of dmesg:
http://paste.fedoraproject.org/177436/42252728

fpaste of /proc/devices:
http://paste.fedoraproject.org/177437/27367142

If there is any other info you want me to share or additional tests you
want me to do, let me know (might take a day or so before I get to it
though)

Best regards, Frans

To get HDMI out you need to have a hdmi cable plugged in (on both ends)
before booting the device, if no cable is detected u-boot will continue
without initializing hdmi. Note that the current rawhide u-boot only
does 1024x768. Upstream u-boot git master does DDC + EDID and then uses
the monitor / tv's native resolution.

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Hi Hans,

Thanks for your info.That helped big time.
I had the hdmi connected to an alternate input of my monitor and switched
monitor input after booting....
I did a quick test booting the board with the monitor input to HDMI and it
worked like a charm!

Thanks again, Frans.

PS: looking forward to your talk @ Fosdem.

I was able to boot the Xfce image from the 29th, initial-setup is displayed on the 
serial console (text), but once completed I was able to log in and use the GUI on the
Banana Pi.

It doesn't need approval, although you do need to click on the link

We don't support that as yet.

We support both of those.

You need to use beaglebone for all of them

The uboot you need to use for the xM is called beagle although YMMV

You need a serial port, as for whether they're identical is not
something I know.

We have a generic kernel, if you have the appropriate DT and a uboot
that supports DT it's likely you can make them work.

No it's not, it made it to the list.

You're booting from the eMMC and it doesn't support the generic distro
boot functionality. Hit the button to force it to boot from the mSD
card or wipe the first few kb of the eMMC.

Getting FC21/arm to boot on beaglebone black/beagle XM/beagleboard/Mele A2000

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Peter,

Thanks for your reply.

Wrt the orange pi: I know this is not in the list of supported devices.
However this one is very compatible to the banana pi so I gave it a stab
and it works.
(actually things like bananian also works on that board).

Wrt Beaglebone black: that one also works Indeed I had to keep the boot
button pressed during poweron (and no: it does not help if you do so during
reset).

Wrt mele A2000: this one is identical to A1000, will try with rawhide as
suggested by Hans.

Beagle XM: will try later (probably tomorrow), would be nice to see that
working too.
(btw does a regular beagle also work)?

Best regards, Frans

Getting FC21/arm to boot on beaglebone black/beagle XM/beagleboard/Mele A2000

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Followup; rewrote the SD card with FC21 for Mele A1000; this also works on
A2000 (A2000 is a slightlt different PCB layout
Sunxi says on http://linux-sunxi.org/Mele_A1000
" The Mele A1000 has a wedge-like shape whereas the slightly younger A2000
is more square"
"All motherboards are essentially the same, apart from tiny revisions"

Getting FC21/arm to boot on beaglebone black/beagle XM/beagleboard/Mele A2000

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Follwup: I was unable to boot on beagleboard XM. I used the same offsets to
write MLO and u-boot.img as for beaglebone, but apparently this is not ok
as MLO is not even loaded.
I have also examined another card that does boot and there the MLO also
lives at a different location (actually there it is the first file in a
VFAT FS, not sure if I can dd it on that same location on the boot
filesystem in the FC21 image.

If someone has done this and can provide some suggestions that would be
greatly appreciated!

The omap34xx/omap36xx/DM3730 used on the BeagleBoard classic & xM...
Doesn't support RAW mode.. You need to create the vfat and copy the
MLO/u-boot.img/etc..

mmc RAW mode boot was added to the bootrom around the omap4 generation
timeline. (I believe the dm81xx was the first according to the TI
manual, but i don't have a board to confirm that.)

One more, side note, u-boot does now support "extX" boot for omap
targets, but you'd have to enable this for the BeagleBoard
classic/xM..

Getting FC21/arm to boot on beaglebone black/beagle XM/beagleboard/Mele A2000

[Scott M. Jones]

I used the following uEnv.txt to boot the Beagleboard XM rev B.  I
created a VFAT partition with MLO and u-boot.img on slice 1 and moved
all other partitions up to the next slice by deleting/recreating with
fdisk -c=dos /dev/(device).

uEnv.txt:
