Gigabyte MP30-AR0
by Gordan Bobic 12 Nov '19

12 Nov '19

Hi, I am toying with the idea of getting a Gigabyte MP30-AR0 board (despite the insanely exorbitant price tag). Has anyone got the aarch64 CentOS working on one of those? Any special instructions? Also, if I get the ISO, is it bootable on aarch64? Does the installer work? Or does the image have to be used like on 32-bit ARM? Thanks. Gordan

List of 64-bit hardware for testing?
by Jeffrey Walton 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

I've been lurking for a while hoping to see someone call out some specs, but I don't recall seeing them. My apologies in advance of this is a redundant question. I'm interested in inexpensive hardware to test for arm64/aarch64, but I'm having trouble finding them. For example, [1] lists a X-C1 Basic dev board, but its $1495 USD [2] (add $1000 USD for the Plus kit). Another example is the AMD Opteron A1100 dev kit at $3000 USD [6]. As another example, I purchased both an HTC 510 Desire and a Samsung Galaxy Core-Prime because both were supposed to be 64-bit ARMv8 [3,4]. But after the press release and conversion to the US market, they arrived as 32-bit ARMv7. First question... Does Cent maintain a list of inexpensive hardware for testing? If so, would someone point me to it? I understand the list is subjective and it will become stale over time. That's a different problem (and a problem I wish I had). Second question... Or, is it possible to get SSH access to one of the machines provided by Applied Micro or AMD [1,6]? GNU has a compile farm (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm) I can test with, and I'm wondering if Cent does the same. Last question... Has anyone tried using the Android TV boxes [5] for testing? They appear to be inexpensive (around $100 USD) and some appear to be ARMv8 with multiple 64-bit cores (Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57). (Its definitely like Perrin said, "Hardware really is the best sort of gift..." [6]). Thanks in advance.

Implementing on beaglebone black.
by Dave Germiquet 10 Jan '16

10 Jan '16

Hello, I am looking into putting Centos on my Beaglebone Black, and I came across your rootfs factory. I'm wondering how it works and what is the high->low level of implementing. Do I need an existing arm binary system? Currently Beaglebone black comes with debian, and my desktop is debian, how would I use your scripts, to make the initial image? The end goal is to have a centos system with Selinux enabled.

Network fails Raspberry pi 2
by david 01 Jan '16

01 Jan '16

Folks I've been having lots of problems with Centos 7 on Raspberry Pi 2. The network seems to work for a while after a bootstrap, but then dies. The command systemctl restart network always fails. This occurs after installation and updates. I wonder of others have had this issue, or is my RPI2 defective? It's connected to my internal network by a wire-connection to a working Centos 6 gateway. I posted the results of journalctl earlier, so won't bother reposting. Is this the right mail=list to detect if and when the issue is addressed? David

CentOS-userland 7 images : call for testers !
by Fabian Arrotin 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, For people with RaspberryPI2/Cubietruck/Bananapi boards, we'd like you to test the following images : http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/isos/armhfp/ Please note that those are minimal, and obviously pointing to empty yum repositories (nothing released yet), but testing-base and testing-extras (pointing to buildlogs.centos.org) can be used. Be aware that the first goal is just to validate that images are working as expected, so packages in the testing-base repo are kept to almost minimal ! (more to come later after validation, etc) Selinux notes : selinux is disabled in the rpi2 image (no support - yet- in the specific kernel for that). It's actually in permissive mode (due to the way images were generated) in the cubietruck/bananapi images but can be put in enforcing mode with a relabel of the filesystem (takes ~5 minutes on my cubietruck ) There is the rootfs-resize-2.0-5.el7.noarch pkg that has been added, so follow the instructions in /root/README if you want to automatically resize/expand / to maximum We'd like to inject some helper scripts for that before release time (all those images are based on 7.1511 packages) The other important remark is that it's called "userland" as packages for RootFS are indeed the ones used in CentOS 7.1511, but kernel are different (4.2.3 for cubietruck/bananapi and 4.1.11 for rpi2) All comments/feedback are welcome !

We will need epel7 armv7hl builds
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

So I worked through some rpms and did hit things I need built for armv7hl, like: amavisd-new clamav (what happened to clamd?) and perl-Log-Log4perl has dependancies that need to be built for armv7hl. So not this week. I will get as far as I can in my testing and such, but at some point, I hope someone with lots of skill more than me helps out (particularly if you want a full mail server) or at least gives me some good pointers on how to build these. I have medon available to work on...

Announcing temp home for epel7-noarch
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

Got the initial repo built. You can access it by: cat <<EOF>/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo || exit 1 [epel] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - noarch baseurl=http://repo.medon.htt-consult.com/epel7/noarch enabled=1 #gpgcheck=1 #gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7 EOF Note that is is on the 1st known production Centos7-arm server! I don't know if the gpg signing done for epel carried over to my createrepo, and am not going to take the time to test it, but others can and tell me :) I will set up a cron job to update this repo weekly. For example, roundcubemail is 1.1.3 with 1.1.4 in testing. At some point it will get moved, and I will pick it up on my weekly repo update. This is TEMPORARY! I do have a 3Mb uplink, but I really don't want to be the long-running home for this. At some point we want to get the epel team to at least provide a noarch repo, but prefereably the armv7 repo. Now on to see if I now have everything, or if I DO need some specific armv7 rpms... And of course, let me know if there are any problems, or any kudos.... Oh and if someone whats to take this over, I will share whatever help they need to do that!

spamassassin not in base
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

In looking what rpms I need for my mailserver, I find spamassassin missing. After a little digging I see it in the Centos7-x86_64, but not in the armv7hl base. I hope we will soon see this added. Probably take me a month+ off and on working on this server until I get it to that point. Do have other work I better get on to.

epel 7 noarch
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

I am working up the rpms I need for my mail server. A number of them I need from epel. For example, amavis-new which is a noarch.rpm. So I was thinking for starters I would create a repo with just the noarch rpms and then see what I am missing that needs to be built specifically for armv7. I go to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL and see that the install rpm is: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm Huh? noarch? what is going on here? I go look at an actual repo mirror: http://mirrors.mit.edu/epel/7/ There is no specfic noarch repo.
