Help with Rock64

[agharta agharta]

Hi all,
I hope I wrote in the right place.

I've see that Fedora 31 now supports Rock64 sbc.

I've not found any guide to setup a sd card or  any how-to boot Fedora 31 with it.

In addition, Hdmi does not works form me, nor serial console.

Any guide or how-to to follow?

If I look at Rock64 wiki page, i found images for Debian/Ubuntu/others, with a simple "dd image to your sd". And it works (serial console & hdmi too)!
Any way to do the same with Fedora? Really, i don't like too mutch @deb distros .

Hope someone can help me.

Best regards,
Agharta

It does.

I still need to update the documentation.

Serial console definitely does work, HDMI is currently untested but I
believe there's still things going upstream for that to work
completely.

Which wiki page? You mean the one on the pine64 wiki?

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your support.

Currently I'm trying to write fedora to sd card with this command: 
fedora-arm-image-installer  --addconsole --image=Fedora-Minimal-31-1.9.aarch64.raw.xz  --media=/dev/sdd --resizefs

So, at the end the tool tells me:

= No U-boot will be written.
= No console listed for Mystery Board, adding default ttyS0,115200 .

= Installation Complete! Insert into the Mystery Board and boot.

And.....no console. (at 115200)
I think that this may be because "= No U-boot will be written."
Any way? should I pass a  --target=TARGET to commands? If yes, what should I insert in TARGET?

"I still need to update the documentation."
Do you already have the link?

"Which wiki page? You mean the one on the pine64 wiki?"
This one: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCK64_Software_Release

Many thanks for Your patience.
Cheers,
Agharta

Hi Agharta,

Have you tried any other linux distributions (ideally rpm based)?

Hi Benson,
Yes, i've successfully installed CentOs 7, take a look at this link
https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCK64_Software_Release#CentOS-7_Community...

But CentOs 7 does not support PHP 7x for aarch64: i need to install
nextcloud.... and PHP 7+ is required.

So, i've tried CentOs 8 stream too...but no luck....

Fedora 31 does support Rock64, as release notes says....so the question is
simple: how to install Fedora 31 on rock64?

Should be simple, in theory.....

Many thanks.
Cheers,
Agharta

Hi Agharta,

a) If using a Fedora laptop/desktop, have you tried the ARM image installer:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Installation

A number of Pine64 boards are supported, but you might use as a bass to 
get something for rock64

b) The CentOS7 version you are using seems to use a kernel from Armbian. 
Maybe something similar (ARMRHEL) is needed for RHEL based 
distributions? At the moment the contributions seem to be haphazard, and 
driven by immediate needs rather than a long term vision. Perhaps an ARM 
roadmap for RHEL would be helpful in organizing development?

c) I have complied PHP 7 from source using GNU compilers. This was 
straight forward, so might be the way to go if you only need Nextcloud 
and do not need to many PHP extensions. When you need to update, just 
copy over the data directory in your Nextcloud installation.

Hi,

So my rock64 is running Arch on a 64G eMMC ( Self built uboot / dtc's
) since there was no guide / install path back then )),  most likely
you have to dd uboot/boot loader manually  try the arch install guide
steps to do that.

I would imagine Fedora would be good for SBC;s as they very much keep
up with current kernels which is always a pet peeve with .deb based
distro's.  Anyway here is some info from my unit,

Hi Nige,

Thank Your for Your feedback.

I hope your testimony is useful for the realization of a precise guide 
in Fedora about that.

Many thanks again.

Hi Benson

a) Yes, but I can't specify Rock64 as --target parameter.

/"A number of Pine64 boards are supported, but you might use as a bass 
to get something for rock64" /Can You explain me how? Is it possibile 
without manual recompilation, etc...? (see why in b) and c) )/
/

b) Yes, an Armbian kernel....but I'd like to use a 'standard' kernel.

c) Yes, is possibile, but i still prefer a community delivered rpm (and 
maintained).

Thanks again for Your support.

Best regards,

Agharta

[Benson Muite]

Hi Agharta,

I used an earlier Fedora release on Banana pro (after first using Fedora 
combined with a different kernel). It worked ok, but took a bit of time 
for the Arm image to support Banana pro.

There was a message earlier on the list that support had been added for 
rock 64. Thus you might be able to take the configuration for Pine64 and 
modify that for Rock 64, though can also wait. After installing the arm 
image installer, as indicated at 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Installation in a 
terminal I can type

$ls /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/

to get a listing of supported boards. Typing

$more /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/pinebook

gives settings for Pinebook, which are

# write uboot
echo "= Writing sunxi-spl.bin for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/sunxi-spl.bin of=$MEDIA bs=8k 
seek=1; sync
echo "= Writing u-boot FIT image for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/u-boot.itb of=$MEDIA bs=8k seek=5; 
sync; sleep 5
# set console for allwinner
SYSCON=ttyS0,115200

The commands for pine_h64, pine64_plus and pine64-lts are the same, so 
you might try these for your Rock 64.

Ok.

Noted. Thanks for using and reporting where work is still required. 
Sorry cannot be much more help at present.

Hi Benson,

You helped me a lot!!!

Following Your suggestion, I've investigate over $TARGET and $MEDIA.

After writing sdcard with pine64-lts, inside usr/share/uboot/ (of 
sdcard) i can see rock64-rk3328 (my sbc), rockpro64-rk3399 and many 
other sbc not listed into arm-image-installer folder 
(/usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/)!!!!!!!!

So, rock64 is really supported by fedora (31, minimal, aarch64)!!!

Another interesting thing: if I create a file called rock64-rk3328 into 
my /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/ and set 
--target=rock64-rk3328, arm-image-installer executes IT!

So, next step: I've copied pine64-lts into rock64-rk3328.

One question: rock64-rk3328 folder does not have sunxi-spl.bin, but a 
file called idbloader.img. Should I 'dd' it insead of sunxi-spl.bin?

Following this link seems yes 
http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Boot_option

Seems needed to add some extra stuffs too (seek):

dd if=idbloader.img of=sdb seek=64
dd if=u-boot.itb of=sdb seek=16384

So, script become as follow:

# write uboot
echo "= Writing idbloader.img for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/sidbloader.img of=$MEDIA bs=8k 
seek=_*64*_; sync
echo "= Writing u-boot FIT image for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/u-boot.itb of=$MEDIA bs=8k 
seek=_*1*__*6384*_; sync; sleep 5
# set console for allwinner
SYSCON=ttyS0,115200

Tomorrow I'll try!

Thanks a lot for Your support.

Best regards,

Agharta

Looks similar to what is at:

https://pagure.io/arm-image-installer/blob/master/f/socs.d/Rockchips-ARMv8

https://pagure.io/arm-image-installer/blob/master/f/socs.d/Rockchips-ARMv7

Might need to change seek value. I do not have that board, so cannot try 
this out, but hope it works. If it does work, can you contribute the 
script back? I believe additions are also needed here:

Hi Benson,

No, unfortunately seems not working.

I've tried with seek (16348, 64, 512, etc). No luck.

I think the problem is related how to boot images are builded and 'what' 
to write into sdcard.

Should I write sidbloader.img or not?  How are  sidbloader.img and 
u-boot.itb builded? Does them contains all required stuffs?

Following Your link about ARMv8, i see at row 3:

|dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/spl.img of=$MEDIA seek=64; sync; 
sleep 5|

But spl.img is not available in usr/share/uboot/ in my sdcard (Fedora 31 
minimal).

So, I still searching over the web.

Meanwhile, did You known that standard serial console speed in Rock64 
SPI flash is 1,500,000 baudrate? 1,500,000!! OMG, connecting to see spi 
boot at 115200 will never work!  I have spent hours about it....hope it 
will be helpful for other users.

See these links:

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5029

https://gist.github.com/tstellanova/b485fa84acf70889fb4e89c4af505440

Again, seems that not all usb-serial-console-adapters can works at 
1,500,000 baudrate. FYI my cheap converter can't...so...i can't see spi 
boot.....I'm not luky with that board.

Thank You again.

Cheers,

Agharta

Hi Benson,

Following Your suggestion, I've investigate over $TARGET and $MEDIA.

After writing sdcard with pine64-lts, inside usr/share/uboot/ (of sdcard) i
can see rock64-rk3328 (my sbc), rockpro64-rk3399 and many other sbc not
listed into arm-image-installer folder

So, rock64 is really supported by fedora (31, minimal, aarch64)!!!

Another interesting thing: if I create a file called rock64-rk3328 into my
/usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/ and set --target=rock64-rk3328,
arm-image-installer executes IT!

So, next step: I've copied pine64-lts into rock64-rk3328.

One question: rock64-rk3328 folder does not have sunxi-spl.bin, but a file
called idbloader.img. Should I 'dd' it insead of sunxi-spl.bin?

Following this link seems yes
http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Boot_option

Thanks, this seems helpful.

Seems needed to add some extra stuffs too (seek):

dd if=idbloader.img of=sdb seek=64
dd if=u-boot.itb of=sdb seek=16384

So, script become as follow:

# write uboot
echo "= Writing idbloader.img for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/sidbloader.img of=$MEDIA bs=8k seek=

I used an earlier Fedora release on Banana pro (after first using Fedora
combined with a different kernel). It worked ok, but took a bit of time for
the Arm image to support Banana pro.

a) Yes, but I can't specify Rock64 as --target parameter.

*"A number of Pine64 boards are supported, but you might use as a bass to
get something for rock64" *Can You explain me how? Is it possibile without
manual recompilation, etc...? (see why in b) and c) )

There was a message earlier on the list that support had been added for
rock 64. Thus you might be able to take the configuration for Pine64 and
modify that for Rock 64, though can also wait. After installing the arm
image installer, as indicated at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Installation in a terminal
I can type

$ls /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/

to get a listing of supported boards. Typing

$more /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/pinebook

gives settings for Pinebook, which are

# write uboot
echo "= Writing sunxi-spl.bin for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/sunxi-spl.bin of=$MEDIA bs=8k seek=1;
sync
echo "= Writing u-boot FIT image for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/u-boot.itb of=$MEDIA bs=8k seek=5;
sync; sleep 5
# set console for allwinner
SYSCON=ttyS0,115200

The commands for pine_h64, pine64_plus and pine64-lts are the same, so you
might try these for your Rock 64.

b) Yes, an Armbian kernel....but I'd like to use a 'standard' kernel.

Ok.

c) Yes, is possibile, but i still prefer a community delivered rpm (and
maintained).

Noted. Thanks for using and reporting where work is still required. Sorry
cannot be much more help at present.

Thanks again for Your support.

Hi all,

Many thanks Nigel, but nope.

This is the output:

Not good....

Benson, i would contribute to Pagure..... if something works!

Actually I've found boot images of Rock64 inside fedora sdcard but I 
can't made them working.

Nigel, do You have a Rock64 sbc? Does Your serial console works during 
SPI boot?

Many thanks to both.

Cheers,

Agharta

Yes the output I gave you in my first post is a Rock64 4GB with a 64GB
eMMC running Arch Linux.  I can get you all the info you need when I
get back to the house.

I can tell you I have disabled the SPI Flash ( 128mb iirc ) and give
SPI control back to SPIDEV as I am using this board in conjunction
with a 915Mhz LoraWan Concentrator / Gateway board IC980a

I've found this thread:

http://u-boot.10912.n7.nabble.com/help-with-serial-on-the-rockchip64-td38456...

Seems seek value for dd are correct.

sudo dd if=idbloader.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=64
sudo dd if=u-boot.itb of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=16384

The question is if idbloader was built dorm mmc or for sdcard too....

Mmm.... as soon as I've resolved serial spi boot problem I think I can 
tell You why Fedora does not boot.

Regards,

Agharta

I'm seriously thinking that the problem is how u-boot images are created.

I've searched inside usr/share/uboot/rockpro64-rk3399/ of sd-card, same 
chip manufacturer. FYI all series of 3399 have same content (rock960, 
rock-pi-4, roc, puma, orangepi, etc.. see usr/share/uboot filder).

The content is here:

idbloader.img
spl_sd.img
spl_spi.img
u-boot-dtb.img
u-boot-spl.bin
u-boot.bin
u-boot.dtb
u-boot.img
u-boot.itb

The rock64 content is different:

idbloader.img
u-boot-dtb.img
u-boot-spl.bin
u-boot.bin
u-boot.dtb
u-boot.img
u-boot.itb

Missing files: spl_sd.img, spl_spi.img

I think that the uboot build for rock64 was made only for eMMC module, 
not for sd card.

How to known how uboot build was made?

Where are the build sources?

Many thanks again,

Agharta

Could you not grab the uboot and what nots from Ayufan,

https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot

( perhaps build and test ), my original build ( current ) used this method..

Interesting thing.

Following Your idea, i've dowloaded the spi boot 
https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot/releases/download/2017.09-rock...

After decompressing it, if I do a 'cfdisk u-boot-flash-spi-rock64.img' I 
can see sectors where images starts:

So, first boot image starts at sector 64, second at sector at 8192. Nice.

I need to investigate over it, to find a solution.

Thanks,

Agharta

OH GUYS! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!!!

Finally I've found the solution!

So,*_first for all  SPI flash should be ERASED_*: fedora aarch64 does 
not have spi boot images (at 2019-11-27). To erase spi follow this link: 
https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot/releases/download/2017.09-rock...

Second, install fedora-arm-installer package, then create a new ad-hoc 
script; this script for rock64 that I have made works well:

File is placed into folder /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/ and 
named rock64-rk3328

# write uboot
echo "= Writing idbloader.img for $TARGET .... on media $MEDIA"
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/idbloader.img of=$MEDIA seek=64; 
sync; sleep 5
echo "= Writing u-boot FIT image for $TARGET .... on media $MEDIA"
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/u-boot.itb of=$MEDIA seek=16384; 
sync; sleep 5
# set console for Rockchips
SYSCON=ttyS2,115200n8

I'm not sure about SYSCON because my serial adapter does not works at 
1500000 baudrate, so I can't test it. I have leaved it at default. Hope 
someone can test and correct it if required.

References to find right dd seek: 
http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Boot_option#Boot_from_SD.2FTF_Card

Next, download fedora aarch64 31 minimal xz image and:

arm-image-installer --image=Fedora-Minimal-31-1.9.aarch64.raw.xz  
--resizefs --media=/dev/THE_SD_MEDIA --target=rock64-rk3328 --addconsole 
(and other stuff)

Insert sd into Rock64 and power on!

Connect HDMI cable, IT WORKS AND YOU CAN BOOT (a part of it)!!!

Wait a bit (by default search for ipv6 ip).

Connect Keyboard and follow on screen setup to set root password, 
Timezone etc...

AT THE END ALL WORKS!!!!!

Benson, feel free to integrate it to Pagure, and make a new 
fedora-arm-image-installer package.

Really guys, I am very very very happy!

Have a fantastic day!!!

Agharta

Well done!,

I was waiting to see how this one went.  in the meantime Arch pushed out a
5.4.0-1 kernel,

archrock 5.4.0-1-ARCH #1 SMP

[    0.000000] Linux version 5.4.0-1-ARCH (builduser@leming) (gcc version
8.3.0 (GCC)) #1 SMP Tue Nov 26 02:44:10 UTC 2019
[    0.000000] Machine model: Pine64 Rock64

Looks like the Lima driver got some work ( more info inside dmesg ) among
other cleanups

Already to 5.4.0?!?!  WO-HA!

Now I'm playing with rock64, some feedbacks:

* USB3 port seems not working.
  * I have some problem with df-update and " The operation would result
    in removing the following protected packages: systemd-udev"....still
    investigate.

I'll keep you up-to-date.

Cheers,

Agharta

Made one change, put  file in socs.d/rk3328 and added a softlink from 
boards.d/rock64 to socs.d/rk3328

Not sure if names I choose are the most appropriate.

It seems you already forked the repository, so feel free to make your 
additions there. There is a pull request at:

I'm really new in Pagure. Feel free to edit and make pull request. I

So am I. It seemed ok, once uploaded an ssh key, could then use command

Gitlab/Github, but it is better integrated with Fedora infrastructure.

Git keeps history, so errors can be undone. The more people that can add 
to code the better. It would be of interest to learn your thoughts on 
Rock64 board. Price point seems similar to Raspberry Pi. Are you using 
USB to attach an external hard drive for Nextcloud?

Finally, there is a file socs.d/Rockchips-ARMv8, which would fit 
description for rk3328  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockchip), but 
the specifications there are different than what you used. Maybe rk3328 
should be Rockchip-rk3328?

Some of the other files, such as socs.d/exynos5 and socs.d/st have a few 
more steps than the others. Downloading spi boot binaries is not so 
great in Fedora as the build process is not under Fedora control. Not 
sure what the best solution is for this.

It may be helpful to check the Fedora list guidelines,

Thanks for your contributions. I look forward to trying out Rock64 board 
in the future.

Ok, I have to try it. Thanks for your feedback.

Price is ok, board seems too.....but there are some problems:

* in debian-like images the network hangs if rebooted. Performance is
    very good.
    https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCK64_Software_Release#Linux_Image_Releas...
  * in fedora 31 minimal have bad performance (ssh & console for example
    . I need to do a cpu/sd/memory test in both OSes to create a valid
    comparison)
  * in debian-like images, if  I connect a device to usb3 port it hangs
    after a bit....I have not yet figured out if it is a hardware or
    software problem....investigation is needed. In any case a ticket is
    already open https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/issues/112
  * in fedora usb3 does not work.....
  * My final target is to boot Rock64 via sd-card and connect 2 HDD  in
    raid-1 mode through usb 3  (and relative hub) and store Nextcloud
    data into raid-1 fs.
  * My oniric target is to use that board with IP-cameras and Zoneminder
    too....but for now I would be satisfied with the previous point.

Actually I am getting familiar with fedora 31 aarch64: it is quite 
different form x64 version, dnf update gives me errors about protected 
packages (......).

Seek values provided by socs.d/Rockchips-ARMv8 seems not working for me, 
but beacuse I can't see serial console I don't know why....

In any case spl.img file is not availabe in fedora .xz build.

I have used the default seek values form main Rockchip guide:

Actually Fedora can run into Rock64 IF AND ONLY IF spi boot is erased. I 
think that an spi-compatibe image should be added in fedora (as debian 
do). If yes, boot could be executed directy from usb disk (and raid-1 
disks I hope).

Thank you for your patience, I'll keep you informed about problems &

Il dig up what the dtc/dtb used is also ( most likely itle be pretty default )
