Bluetooth on Udoo Neo ?
by Ken Harris 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

Is it possible to enable Bluetooth on Udoo Neo ? FYI, it uses the TI WL1831 module. I tried : hciattach -n ttymxc2 texas ... but got "Initialization timed out." I also tried various combinations of bit rates and flow control. Any tips are welcome. -K

how to make a working f28 sd card for odroid-hc2 ?
by Torbjorn Jansson 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

Hello for a while now i have been struggling to create a set of steps to make a successfully bootable fedora 28 image for my odroid hc2 computers. the reason for this is several, but main one is to have all gluster related packaged available like the samba vfs modules and iscsi related packages for gluster that is missing from the ubuntu images. plus i prefer fedora. all i get is a sd card that boots but then hangs on initial setup and if i try to work around that by disabling it then boot takes maybe 5-10 minutes at least with failing services (probably those that depend on network) and when i finally get to a login prompt root doesn't work here is my step by step instructions so far that's not quite working: (this is done from a fedora 28 host) 1: first install needed packages dnf install arm-image-installer-2.5-1.fc28.noarch dnf install uboot-images-armv7-2018.03-6.fc28.noarch 2: get image and install it to sd card fedora-arm-image-installer --target=none --image=Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-28-1.1-sda.raw.xz --resizefs --norootpass --media=/dev/sdf --args "rd.driver.pre=ledtrig-heartbeat,xhci-plat-hcd cpuidle.off=1 no_bL_switcher console=tty1 console=ttySAC2,115200n8" (sdf in this case is my sd card) 3: fix the missing dtb file mkdir /tmp/sd mount -t auto /dev/sdf2 /tmp/sd cd /tmp/sd/dtb ln -s exynos5422-odroidxu4.dtb exynos5422-odroidunknown.dtb umount /tmp/sd 4: make it boot by running sd_fusing mkdir sd_fusing; cd sd_fusing wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hardkernel/u-boot/odroidxu4-v2017.05/sd_f… \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hardkernel/u-boot/odroidxu4-v2017.05/sd_f… \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hardkernel/u-boot/odroidxu4-v2017.05/sd_f… \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hardkernel/u-boot/odroidxu4-v2017.05/sd_f… chmod a+x sd_fusing.sh cp /usr/share/uboot/odroid-xu3/u-boot.bin . ./sd_fusing.sh /dev/sdf ok so now comes the problems at this stage i have a bootable image but it gets stuck, most likely on initial setup that never shows up. the thing is, it is not locked up because if i plug in an usb device i get a few lines on the serial console so kernel is still working but boot is stuck. last few lines on serial console is something like: Starting firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon... Starting Initial Setup configuration program... then some stuff related to usb & my disk then on first boot a few lines related to OpenSSH key generation rebooting hangs at same place with exception of SSH keys. to get a bit further i can mount the root filesystem manually on my other computer and remove the following two files: rm /etc/systemd/system/graphical.target.wants/initial-setup.service rm /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/initial-setup.service this gets rid of the initial setup but then i get a whole bunch of services failing and boot being really really slow, it takes probably 10-15 minutes for everything to time out and get to the logon prompt. when i get it root doesn't work. this is where i kind of gave up. i know i somehow managed to get a bootable image several months ago, but i'm not sure if i then had to manually set root password by editing passwd or shadow before trying to boot. things on my wish list for this board: easier installation and updated packages that work. for example arm-image-installer with a board definition for odroid. may be usefull even if we have to run sd_fusing manualy after anyway, possibly with a text saying so. this also would help to make --addconsole work uboot that recognized hc2 so it loads the right file dtb file for hc2, one that works and is appropriate.

Any notes on how to setup Fedora on the Vamrs Rock960?
by William Cohen 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Hi, Given RHBZ1639765, "Rock960 hangs after boot" and uboot-images-armv8-2018.09-1.fc29.noarch having rock960-rk3399 files it looks like there are some people that have Fedora running on the Vamrs Rock960, but arm-image-installer doesn't list the board on the supported list. Does anyone have some notes on how they got Fedora running on the board? -Will

f29 uboot & odroid hc2 (patch)
by Torbjorn Jansson 27 Jan '19

27 Jan '19

Hello I asked on linux-arm-kernel mail list regarding the "missing" dtb file problem for odroid hc2. The info i got was that the hc1 dtb file is the correct one to use for hc2 too and there is a patch to make uboot detect and use the right dtb file. The patch in question: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=patch;h=9cd97c5b049a9a282dda0b1782cbb38d… I rebuilt uboot-tools-2018.09-1.fc29.x86_64 with this patch applied and it boots and uses the hc1 dtb file correctly. No need for a manual symlink like: ln -s exynos5422-odroidhc1.dtb exynos5422-odroidunknown.dtb So would be nice if this could be considered for inclusion in the fedora uboot package sometime in the future to make it easier to get the hc2 up and running.

Fedora 29 on Pinebook
by Eduardo Minguez Perez 24 Jan '19

24 Jan '19

Hi all, I have a pinebook (running anarsoul's arch mainline[1]) and I was wondering if someone has tried Fedora 29 on the pinebook, or if it is even supported. I've seen pine64-lts is[2], and I've been trying to create a build[3] based on some scripts on the pine64 discord channel but so far I have no idea on what I'm doing :) Thanks!

Mate Spin
by Stewart Samuels 23 Jan '19

23 Jan '19

Hello All, Does anyone know if the Mate (not Mate-Compiz) release of Fedora has been terminated? I don't seem to be able to find it for Fedora 29 in the normal places such as: /pub/fedora/linux/releases/29/Spins/armhfp/images Alternatively, if Mate is no longer supported, is there a similar standard URL such as that provided above for Fedora 29 spins that I can use to download images, including Mate-Compiz (if that is the now supported Mate based desktop)? Thanks for any help. Stewart

rock64 and odroid c2 boards
by mark co-dyre 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Hello all, I've been looking for a group like this for a while now to hopefully help with learning how to get get a recent version of u-boot working properly so I can get fedora 29 to boot on my rock64 and odroid c2 boards. I'd also like to contribute this back once I get this working properly. So far I've gotten the odroid c2 to boot fine using the stock hardkernel 3.16 lts kernel and their older version of u-boot. For this I had used a chrooted instance of a Fedora 29 minimum sitting on the Ubuntu distro they provide. From this I built a new initramfs with dracut against a copy of the hosted ubunutu lib/modules. This all worked fine although I'd like to get it working with a recent u-boot, UEFI and load the grub.efi binary to boot the standard fedora kernel. I had got to the point where I had loaded the grub binary and was able to select my kernel (stock fedora 4.18.x kernel); Although things would hang after. I suspect the main reason for the hang was I borrowed the opensuse grub.efi UEFI app because I could not get the fedora one to run. Other than the binary blob stuff from hardkernel u-boot was stock and it was booting into u-boot just fine. I've set that board aside for now to use it as a build host and have moved on to my rock64 board. After putting the stock fedora 29 minimal image on a card and attempting to boot it Im seeing: ... regular u-boot stuff blah blah blah (full u-boot log is below) Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 Card did not respond to voltage select! switch to partitions #0, OK mmc1 is current device Scanning mmc 1:1... ** Unable to read file / ** Found EFI removable media binary efi/boot/bootaa64.efi libfdt fdt_check_header(): FDT_ERR_BADMAGIC Scanning disk rksdmmc(a)ff500000.blk...

System BootOrder not found. Initializing defaults. Creating boot entry "Boot0000" with label "Fedora" for file "\EFI\fedora\shimaa64.efi" ... hangs here I'm using the u-boot binary from another distro (arch linux) configured for a rock64 device; Not the Fedora one. I'm pretty ignorant on how the shim stuff works although I would like to learn all those details to form a better understanding. My current understanding is that this shim is a signed (by UEFI signing service) initial bootloader that handles chaining to a trusted full bootloader (grub in this case). Does grub need to be signed in some way to work with this shim that loads it? Are there any good resources out there that would help me better understand what is happening? My next step is going to be to use the fedora u-boot of course and see where that leads me. Although my gut is telling that may not produce the outcome I desire. I'm very familiar with patching and building so I'm not afraid to dig in and create some patches to bounce back once I have these up and running I'm just hoping to have someone provide some insight as to what I should be focusing on so I can gain some traction. I've noticed there's a #fedora-meeting-2 IRC channel that meets on Tues at 3pm UTC; I'm planning on dropping by next week. Well that's all for now I'm exhausted and need some sleep :) Thanks for reading, DDR version 1.06 20170424 In SRX LPDDR3 786MHz Bus Width=32 Col=11 Bank=8 Row=15/15 CS=2 Die Bus-Width=32 Size=4096MB ddrconfig:7 OUT Boot1 Release Time: 2017-05-18, version: 2.43 ChipType = 0x11, 187 emmc reinit emmc reinit SdmmcInit=2 20 SdmmcInit=0 0 BootCapSize=0 UserCapSize=30436MB FwPartOffset=2000 , 0 StorageInit ok = 60041 Raw SecureMode = 0 SecureInit read PBA: 0x4 SecureInit read PBA: 0x404 SecureInit read PBA: 0x804 SecureInit read PBA: 0xc04 SecureInit read PBA: 0x1004 SecureInit ret = 0, SecureMode = 0 LoadTrustBL No find bl30.bin No find bl32.bin Load uboot, ReadLba = 2000 Load OK, addr=0x200000, size=0x8b0ec RunBL31 0x10000 NOTICE: BL31: v1.3(debug):f947c7e NOTICE: BL31: Built : 09:28:45, May 31 2017 NOTICE: BL31:Rockchip release version: v1.3 INFO: ARM GICv2 driver initialized INFO: Using opteed sec cpu_context!
