The server images are not working with Fedora 31
by Peter Hjalmarsson 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

Hi, Just wanted to point out that due to U-Boot not supporting XFS, and Fedora Server has moved to a XFS /boot, the current images as https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/31/Server/aarch64/im… does not boot on any system using U-Boot, like for example the raspberry pi. Best Regards, Peter Hjalmarsson

Hi all, I have the following device: DIY Laptop by Olimex https://www.olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop/ It is a 2GB A64 Cortex A53 Quad core 64-bit processor based. https://www.olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop/SPARE-PARTS/TERES-PCB1-A64/open-… There are several options for running Linux on it, but Fedora is not among them https://github.com/OLIMEX/DIY-LAPTOP/tree/master/SOFTWARE/A64-TERES I did not manage to run the latest stable Fedora on it. How can I help with getting Fedora on this laptop? Is there a how-to for getting this to run? Kind regards: al_shopov

Oh, I meant to update phosh and phoc to be compatible with the current version of wlroots in the repository. The current version of phoc requires wlroots 0.7, which is not packaged for arm64. What about including the device in arm-image-installer?

mozjs68 (Firefox ESR js engine) on armv7 fails since GCC10
by Frantisek Zatloukal 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

Hi, since GCC 10 introduction to Fedora, mozjs68[0] package started to fail[1] to compile on armv7. Apparently, some data structures changed their size: > /builddir/build/BUILD/firefox-68.5.0/js/src/vm/Shape.h:807:58: error: > static assertion failed: Things inheriting from gc::Cell must have a size > that's a multiple of gc::CellAlignBytes > /builddir/build/BUILD/firefox-68.5.0/js/src/vm/JSScript.h:3408:59: error: > static assertion failed: Size of LazyScript must be an integral multiple of > js::gc::CellAlignBytes > 3408 | static_assert(sizeof(LazyScript) % js::gc::CellAlignBytes == 0, Nuking all those static_assert checks [2] resulted in unusable binary, so that's unfortunately not a way forward. Bug has been reported to mozilla bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1612797 The last successful build was made in GCC 9 side tag. I am currently busy with other more pressing issues, so I'll try to add more meaningful information to this thread later, if needed. However, if anybody could take a look at it, I'll be grateful and send tons of virtual cookies! Thanks a lot [0] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mozjs68 [1] https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=41319119 [2] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mozjs68/c/77da8169fb585719bf919b82639583…

PinePhone Support
by Nikhil Jha 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

Hi! I got Fedora working on PinePhone the other day, and it works surprisingly well, even though it's just desktop GNOME. It's a 5.6 kernel with... ... this device tree: https://megous.com/git/linux/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-a64-… (branch: pp-5.6) ... and this u-boot: https://megous.com/git/u-boot/ (branch: opi-v2020.01) ... and some modifications to make bluetooth, sound, cameras, etc. work How would I go about putting this into Fedora so people could (for example) get Fedora on their PinePhones with arm-image-installer? Also slightly offtopic, but the version of phoc (needed to run phosh, which is Librem's mobile UI) in the repositories depends on libwlroots 0.7, which is not packaged for ARM and doesn't compile with the GCC 10 (wow that's a high version) in rawhide. Can I submit PRs on https://src.fedoraproject.org/? It doesn't look like people usually do that...

Latest Fedora update leaves aarch64 unbootable RPi V3.
by Michael H. Warfield 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

Hey all, I have a fair number of Raspberry Pi V3 B/B+ and Raspberry Pi V2 B systems running Fedora 31 (and a V4 I would like to get on Fedora - still waiting). I have Fedora 31 aarch64 installed on most of the V3 and armv7l/armhfp on the V2 systems. Running dnf updating today, updated to the 5.4.19 kernel and the update of the aarch64 images seemed to hang while running the kernel-core script for over an hour. Looking from another terminal and running top (running dnf upgrade remotely over ssh), looks like grubby is hung burning CPU time and eating memory (and I have lots of cache). Couple machines eventually crashed, and I killed grubby on a couple of others, and the dnf eventually ran to completion on the later 2. In all cases (5 - aarch64 systems) I was left with totally unbootable systems. The ones with screens go straight to the U-Boot prompt or trying to reboot over and over again looking for storage and then looking at eth0 and then rebooting and never show the kernel selection prompt. The few armv7l/armhfp systems haven't seem to have gotten that the 5.4.19 upgrade yet. I've still got two booted and running aarch64 systems running (haven't rebooted) and I'm going to try and roll that update back. Any thoughts to were to go from here? Not sure what to report this under in Bugzilla. Regards, Mike -- Michael H.

Uboot fdtfile incorrect for Odroid XU4
by Michael Whapples 16 Feb '20

16 Feb '20

I have installed fedora 31 on my Odroid XU4. However I have noticed a problem with the uboot image in uboot-images-armv7 (2019.10). I have used the uboot image /usr/share/uboot/odroid-xu3/u-boot.bin and I have found it has the fdtfile environment variable set to "exynos5422-odroid.dtb". In checking the boot partition of the fedora system the dtb directory does not contain exynos5422-odroid.dtb. My work around is to create a link from exynos5422-odroid.dtb to exynos5422-odroidxu4.dtb in the dtb directory. Another is to edit the fdtfile environment at the uboot prompt when booting the XU4. Neither of the above are really satisfactory as the link needs creating again when there is a kernel update. editing the variable at the boot prompt is even worse as it needs to be done for every boot. Is there a better way I can fix this or does the uboot-images-armv7 package need fixing? Regards Michael Whapples
