Cubieboard 5 (aka CubieTruck Plus)

[Andreas Reschke]

Hi there,
now the board is on my table.

The only image i've found is
linaro-desktop-cubietruck-plus-card-dp-v1.1.img. But I don't think its a
real aarch64 Image:

linaro@cubietruck-plus:~$ uname -a
Linux cubietruck-plus 3.4.39 #7 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 1 09:34:33 CST 2016
armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
linaro@cubietruck-plus:~$
I think this should be armv8l ?

Is there any howto to create/build a aarch64 Image on a Cubieboard 5 
with Fedora ?

Greetings
Andreas

Is this a real aarch64 board? As far as I can tell [1], although their
website is terrible on the details, it's a ARMv7 device not a aarch64
device.

It is only armv7  I have one at home, last I tried it there was some issues 
still. I will try when I get home and see how it works now.

I put last nights rawhide minimal image on, the output was serial port only. 
HDMI had nothing, I do not have a monitor with DP support so I can not see if 
something is coming out there, the system booted but hung when it got to 
[  OK  ] Reached target Basic System.

Hi Dennis,
how did you made the installation? I'm only getting the red light, nothing else. It seems to me the board didn't boot.

The CubieTruck Plus uses an A83T for which only quite minimal support is
in the upstream kernel. mmc support still is waiting for merging, so no
rootfs, so this makes sense.

Also no video output support whatsoever yet.

Yes, so with Dennis actually having a device the boot is to what we
should expect, it actually boots and you get serial output but the
device is not actually useful at the moment without
storage/usb/network.

Hello ,

Update: I've taken the Image
Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-Rawhide-20160511.n.0-sda.raw.xz

With the USB-Serial-Cable connected:

How it's going on? Is there anything I can help to support this board?

Basically we need to get the support upstream. We generally don't pull
in custom patches for board enablement, but rather support what is
upstream because we just don't have the resources to do that for the
100s of ARM SBCs out there.

Question: when will be A83T mmc support available in Fedora Kernel? I
see patches from Januar and Februar for the Vanilla Kernel.

Just because you see patches, doesn't mean they've been accepted for
upstream inclusion, just for review.

We support the vast majority when ever it lands in an upstream
mainline kernel. So in the case of rawhide that's usually with in a
day or two of Linus landing the pull request. In the case of a stable
Fedora release the kernel team normally push a new kernel to the
stable releases around the .2 stable release but that varies a little
with each kernel cycle.

With a quick look it looks like only some of the bits for the MMC
(clocking/regulators) on sun8i/a83/cubie 5 have landed upstream in 4.7
so it's still not in a usable state so it would be 4.8 at the
earliest.
