f33 support for odroid N2+ (Amlogic S922X)
by Adrian Sevcenco 10 Aug '21

10 Aug '21

Hi! While theoretically should be possible, i would like to hear some confirmation that f33 can work on odroid N2 ... Moreover, if it can work, all i have to do is to write the image on eMMC, isn't it? Disclaimer: it's my first time playing in arm world, so many things are strange to me.. Thanks a lot!! Adrian

Introduction, Looking to help...
by Carvel Baus 28 Jan '21

28 Jan '21

Hello, Just wanted to introduce myself as I am interested in helping with the ARM effort. I currently have a [personal] Macbook Air M1 and will be issued a MBP M1 for work [in several weeks] as part of a pilot program. I believe I could use them to contribute to the Fedora ARM effort. I have limited kernel experience, but have built the kernel, applied the Fedora config, installed a minimalist [hello world] module and my [Intel] hardware is still working :) Early on in my career, I worked on telephony switching systems and IP telephony protocol stacks (mostly on Sun Sparc systems.) I love to code, pure and simple and that is where I am most inspired/productive. I have done C/C++, SmallTalk, Java, Scala, shell scripting, etc., and now pursuing Rust in my spare time. Looking forward to helping... PS: I should be on the ARM SIG meeting today. Carvel Baus Principal Software Engineer, Multi-Architecture carvel(a)redhat.com <mailto:carvel@redhat.com> IRC: rcbaus

Students and engineers interested in contributing to Fedora Linux on Raspberry Pi
by Joel Savitz 26 Jan '21

26 Jan '21

Good afternoon, A group of computer science undergraduates and I are interested in contributing to the usability of Fedora Linux on the Raspberry Pi 4. I was a part of this group as an undergrad and we developed a compatibility layer for translating RPi.GPIO syntax into calls to libgpiod. It is currently available on PyPi and under review for inclusion in Fedora: https://github.com/underground-software/RPi.GPIO2 https://pypi.org/project/RPi.GPIO2/ The maintainer of the (broken) RPi.GPIO fedora package agreed to obsolete it in favor of our new package, which is a drop in replacement for RPi.GPIO (hence the 2), however I have not heard from him since September. Anyway, we are looking for a new project or area of Fedora on the Raspberry Pi to improve over the upcoming semester. Does anyone have any suggestions? Best, Joel Savitz

RPI4 8G with UEFI for Pi: How to enable VC4?
by Eberhard Schruefer 25 Jan '21

25 Jan '21

Fedora 33 Workstation on the RPI4 with UEFI runs fine for me. However, I can't figure out how to get accelerated video working. Without UEFI, Fedora 33 with kernel 5.10.7 seems to enable accelerated video without any further configuration. There is a /boot/efi/config.txt in this case. It contains things like gpu_mem=32 start_x=1 upstream_kernel=1 dtoverlay=upstream mask_gpu_interrupt1=0x100 Where would one put these setttings for UEFI boot? Thanks. Eberhard

Enabled some openQA desktop tests on aarch64
by Adam Williamson 20 Jan '21

20 Jan '21

Hey folks! Just a heads up that I merged a branch I've had lying around for weeks that enables *some* of the openQA desktop tests on the aarch64 Workstation image. I left out some with known issues. desktop_notifications_postinstall needs to boot to runlevel 3, which is actually a bit tricky because of UEFI - we don't get the boot menu with a usable timeout and the trick we use to work around that on x86_64 (where we run the tests on BIOS) doesn't work on UEFI because the setting is in the UEFI vars which are not part of the main disk image. To fix this I think I need to have the 'image deploy' test upload its UEFI vars disk image and have the desktop_notifications_postinstall test attach that as well as the main disk image, but I need to look into the ins and outs of that a bit and this is my last work day of the year, so I'll do it next year. The desktop_login test is generally fragile (things tending to get stuck or time out), but if it gets that far, it *always* fails when it tests locking the screen; on aarch64 this seems to cause the VM to permanently stop updating the display, or something. Again I haven't had time to look into this, and I want to enable the other tests without waiting for it. The desktop_browser test is also failing, but I left that in because it's not a test bug, it's a distro bug. Firefox builds have just been disabled on aarch64 since 2020-11-20, so current composes don't have Firefox in them on aarch64 at all. There's a bug related to this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1897675 which I just gave a bit of a bump, because it shouldn't really be acceptable to just turn off our default browser's build on one of our primary arches for weeks at a time :( This also breaks several of the other tests which use Firefox, like the Cockpit and FreeIPA browser tests. The tests should run on openQA prod from the next compose. The branch has been deployed on openQA lab (staging) for weeks (including the broken tests), so you can see how it's been behaving there. Thanks folks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net
