Aromic Host on Aarch64

[Pierre-Francois RENARD]

Hello guys,

is there any specific way to write an Atomic Host image on a sd card for raspberrypi (3 or 3+ in my case).

I used this one : https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/fedora-buffet/alt/atomic/stable/Fedora-29-updates....
with a classical dd and also with fedora-arm-installer. Same result .. no boot and no message on HDMI.

Thanks

Should work, I've used a-i-i with the IoT image which is based on the
same tech as AH without issues, although I've not specifically tested
AH.

Would need uboot/firmware added or uboot/firmware on mmc and atomichost image on usb disk
should work.

Might be easier to try the IoT images[1], those are all setup for use on the rpi3 work with the script.

Ah, yes, IoT sets up the firmware for the RPi so it just works, no
idea if AH does that.

Yes IoT works, but AH does not.
I tried a-i-i, but AH is not managed and it tries to do stuff on /tmp/root instead of the PREFIX stuff for IoT.
I tried to do a manual u-boot install, of course script says that it is already ok for RPI3, so I tried to dd the u-boot file myself using this command:

cd /tmp/root/ostree/deploy/fedora-atomic/deploy/*/usr/share/uboot/rpi3
dd if=./u-boot.bin of=/dev/sda bs=1024k seek=8
(/dev/sda is the SD Card device)

I guess I did not do it right as it is not booting :)

Thanks

As Paul mentioned the AH doesn't setup the firmware for the RPi so it
wion't boot, it's basically EOL now so I suggest we engage with the
CoreOS team to ensure this usecase works once they ship that.

What did you mean?

AH is EOL ? Should we wait for CoreOS official release ? (where can we 
download it ? :) )

Paul,

how can you do "uboot/firmware on mmc and atomichost image on usb disk"

currently I am using Fedora29-aarch64 this way:
1/ dd image to SD card
2/ boot the system
3/ move vg fedora to usb ssd disk using lvm commands (and create a huge tmp + swap)

at the end I have :
232.9G sdb                                                                                 
   128G └─sdb1          LVM2_member                 
     32G   ├─fedora-root xfs          /                   
       4G   ├─fedora-swap swap    [SWAP]      
     16G   └─fedora-tmp  xfs         /tmp               
  14.9G mmcblk0                                                                             
   200M ├─mmcblk0p1     vfat      /boot/efi        
       1G ├─mmcblk0p2     ext4     /boot            
    5.8G └─mmcblk0p3

is there a way to move also /boot and /boot/efi

Thanks a lot
Fox

Is an "Aromic" Host image for raspberrypi raspberry scented?
