Hello guys,
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.
Many thanks in advance for any pointers on this.
Hello there,
I am not sure what is the right way to install Fedora on your board, but usually in Fedora we use https://pagure.io/arm-image-installer
to write ARM images to disks, I can't find your board specifically, which means it hasn't been supported yet, but there are "orangepi_zero, orangepi_zero_plus, and orangepi_zero_plus2" options, which you can choose of as a current solution.
Regards,
Sally

Yes, i used arm-image-installer. I installed the uboot images which have an image for the orange pi zero 2, created the symlink on boards.d to avoid the error and used the correct target, orangepi-zero2 or something like that. No boot. I don't have the UART cable. Will get one soon to check better what's going on.

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.

Thanks for your replies Peter. Unfortunately my board somehow got burnt... I would like to have Fedora running on one of these tiny boards, but right now, i'm studying for other stuff.
Please allow me to share my opinion. If there is something i have noticed, is that documentation is seriously lacking. That doesn't help the community to grow. I was pulling my hair the entire time when messing with the board and with a amlogic box. To me, it looks like Fedora only supports raspberry pi. Other stuff if just not clear if it runs or not.

It's a community, people can contribute to this, most of work on this in our spare time and we do our best.
It's almost impossible to document the 100s of devices that work on Fedora arm.
Do you have some suggestions how we can improve the docs for arm here without having to document every SoC/board that works without having vast amount of information that is out of date very quickly? Would love some suggestions on what you find is missing from the docs site here: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/
