Cheers, Ronald

I think boot from iSCSI should be enabled only for positive list of arches (like x86, ppc), I guess it requires special support in device firmware the Fedora/ARM list is in on CC Dan

Mele A1000G Quad (AllWinner A31 quad core Cortex-A7)
by Richard W.M. Jones 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

I'm pretty impressed with the general build quality of the Mele A1000G Quad. It seems to me that development boards offer no real advantage over it. What sort of information would I need to collect in order to have this working in Fedora or with the AllWinner remix? Looking at Hans's github repositories it seems like the "*.fex" file is important in some way, but I don't know where this comes from or how to create it. Apart from this is anything else required?

Peter, thanks for the quick reply. I am now running with the kernel you recommended, but I still do not see the sata drive.... (see below). Do I need to do anything else? thanks, Ronald [root@wandquad ~]# uname -a Linux wandquad 3.12.1-2.fc21.armv7hl #1 SMP Thu Nov 21 05:58:27 UTC 2013 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux [root@wandquad ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7.2 GiB, 7742685184 bytes, 15122432 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk label type: dos Disk identifier: 0x0009891a Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/mmcblk0p1 1953 1001953 500000+ 83 Linux /dev/mmcblk0p2 1001954 4083711 1540879 83 Linux /dev/mmcblk0p3 4083712 15122431 5519360 83 Linux

How do I enable mounting /usr as a separate (read-only) partition on Fedora 17?
by Alex Villacís Lasso 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

I have this ARM project for which I have installed Fedora 17 armv5tel on a SD card. The installation is one small FAT partition where the kernel and initramfs files can be placed, and one EXT3 partition where the root filesystem lives. This mode of operation boots correctly. Now I want to move the contents of /usr to a separate partition, and lock this partition read-only. After some investigation on how to coax the bootloader to load the initramfs, I managed to boot the kernel with the initramfs, only to find out that it wants to run /sbin/init . The /sbin is a symlink that should end up in /usr, but I specify the root filesystem as the rootfs in the kernel commandline, and the initramfs has not mounted /usr to resolve all of the symlinks, even after specifying the device in /etc/fstab. After some googling, it seems that the /usr separation was not fully implemented in Fedora 17, but was completed in Fedora 18. What do I have to do to enable the /usr separation in Fedora 17? I do not really want to port the entire project to Fedora 18, and I think it will be easier to just grab the relevant packages or patches from Fedora 18, recompile for Fedora 17, install, and then separate the filesystem as indicated. Is this doable? What packages should I pick from Fedora 18? I know that Fedora 17 is EOL, and I do not expect any updated packages for this, but I can recompile packages.

Marsboard support
by Zoltan Hoppar 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

Hi, I have found an cheap nice board what is very similar to the Olimex Olinuxino A10/A20 board, and it's contains also Mali400 chip - it's called Marsboard (www.marsboard.com). The point that made me thinking is the prize, what is less then the Olimex one. Free worldwide shipping is total 65 bucks, what is interesting. But I don't know that is any Fedora support for it? Yes, I have seen on the website that capable to run Fedora (possibly 19, I think) but not sure. More information? This is known board? Problems with it? Or better to vote for Olimex? Thanks, Zoltan -- PGP: 06853DF7

F20 Beta-5 on BeagleBone Black
by Jos Vos 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Hi, Does somebody have experience with the F20 Beta-5 image on a BeagleBone Black? I followed the instructions I found on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F20/Installation and tried to boot from it (powercycling while pushing the boot button above the microSD slot), but nothing seems to happen after that. When booting Angstrom and inserting the microSD, it sees all partitions etc. so the content of the microSD looks "technically" ok. Any suggestions are appreciated.
