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

Kernel for BananaPi R1 (Lamobo R1)
by mo.ucina 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hello Guys, I have been compiling the Fedora 4.4.2-300 kernel for Centos , using the new Centos image for the Banana-pi . I have used the Fedora src rpm and then added the patch for the switch drivers specific for R1 (Lamobo R1) , then compiled it within the Centos dev arm environment I have . I ran into a couple of things : one cosmetic , the other one not so . Firstly the cosmetic one is that my packages came out looking like this : -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 49332 Feb 26 07:27 kernel-4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 87721969 Feb 26 07:27 kernel-4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.src.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 18785384 Feb 26 07:29 kernel-core-4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 10452672 Feb 26 07:30 kernel-devel-4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 1012496 Feb 26 07:27 kernel-headers-4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 11844188 Feb 26 07:31 kernel-modules-4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 925980 Feb 26 07:31 kernel-modules-extra-4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 105452 Feb 26 07:27 kernel-tools-4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 65356 Feb 26 07:27 kernel-tools-libs-4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 52160 Feb 26 07:27 kernel-tools-libs-devel-4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm They all have "centos" as part of the name , which I did not expect . I did not get that when compiling in Fedora. How do you remove that ? Second observation , a one that is a bit of a concern is that , after installing the new kernel I am missing bits : user@bananapi /boot $ ls -l total 43611 drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root 1024 Feb 25 22:21 38f5ec9e217b471e8adee477d933f640 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 171924 Nov 26 00:43 config-4.2.3-200.el7.armv7hl drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 15360 Dec 3 14:37 dtb-4.2.3-200.el7.armv7hl drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 1024 Dec 3 14:47 extlinux drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 1024 Jan 1 1970 grub -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 34922581 Dec 3 14:46 initramfs-4.2.3-200.el7.armv7hl.img -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 592347 Dec 3 14:37 initrd-plymouth.img drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 1024 Dec 3 14:44 loader drwx------. 2 root root 12288 Dec 3 14:31 lost+found -rw-------. 1 root root 2879429 Nov 26 00:43 System.map-4.2.3-200.el7.armv7hl -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 5866104 Nov 26 00:43 vmlinuz-4.2.3-200.el7.armv7hl I expected that I would be missing 'initramfs' as the install prog is still work-in-progress. And I was prepared to create it with dracut . However I did not expect not to be missing all the other bits such as : config , dtb, system.map, vmlinuz . I did find my new kernel it was in that dir with a hex name : user@bananapi /boot $ ls -l 38f5ec9e217b471e8adee477d933f640/* 38f5ec9e217b471e8adee477d933f640/0-rescue: total 40652 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 35427302 Dec 3 14:43 initrd -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 6033128 Feb 25 22:26 linux 38f5ec9e217b471e8adee477d933f640/4.2.3-200.el7.armv7hl: total 39995 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 34923169 Dec 3 14:40 initrd -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5866104 Dec 3 14:44 linux 38f5ec9e217b471e8adee477d933f640/4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.armv7hl: total 41061 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 35844934 Feb 25 22:24 initrd -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6033128 Feb 25 22:36 linux So my question is how do I go from these 2 files above , to the situation where I can boot into the new kernel 4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.armv7hl . Best Regards Milorad PS Once I have verified that the switch driver works , I will post it here .

Self-introduction: Lalatendu Mohanty
by Lalatendu Mohanty 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Hi, I am Interested to know more about ARM because I think it is a great piece of technology and wants to learn it by porting some RPMs to ARM (mostly RPMs related to container technology). I have a Rasberry pi 3 with me ( thanks to KB for that :) ). I have the mock setup in it ready now. However I could not find the arm config file for ARM in /etc/mock (I mean EL7 ARM config file) . Do I have to create one or we have standard config files hosted somewhere? Thanks, Lala

Announcement: CentOS 7 intermediate update to 1603 for AArch64
by Jim Perrin 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

This morning we released an intermediate update for AArch64/ARM64 which contains a number of fixes and improvements: Improvements ============ 1. Improved support for APM based hardware, to include network installation support for X-Gene 2 / Merlin Boards. 2. Initial support for NXP's LS2080 SoC. 3. Packaging fixes for noarch rpms, which resolves a few build system issues. 4. The cloud-init, and cloud-utils packages are now provided in the Extras repository. Upgrading ========= Simply 'yum update' as normal. A reboot will be required to take advantage of the new kernel. Downloads ========= Everything ISO: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/aarch64/CentOS-7-aarch64-Everything… sha256sum: c0a7c36af909197f35f6446d8317ae52b92c746aa5943bb11cd07fb8585b96a0 NetInstall ISO: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/aarch64/CentOS-7-aarch64-NetInstall… sha256sum: 6e71a7714100695e2d0714e01c804efc363935871c502a5793cd565ebc288aef Disk Image: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/aarch64/CentOS-aarch64.img.xz sha256sum: 57f5d50a58b9f4f4757858c72704e81a990e64445d3ec492e5fa50aa77181d80 Known Issues ============ 1. The centos-release package has been updated. If you are using a custom yum repository rather than the defaults, please ensure that you update your configuration with the additional gpg key information included in the new package. 2. In nearly all cases the noarch packaging change is transparent, however if you experience a conflict between two noarch packages, this can be resolved by running the 'yum distro-sync'. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77

Spec for ARM side libraries
by Hugo De Zela 26 Mar '16

26 Mar '16

Hi, I haven't seen anything regarding this so here's the one I use for my systems in case it helps anyone else. It simply compiles and installs the side libraries and executables and optionally symlinks them to /usr/bin. Please go ahead and clean it up if necessary, I'm by no means a packaging expert. -H

CRDA warning message - solved
by Jan Kovalsky 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

Hi all, if you are seeing after boot of RPi3 a lot of messages *cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain* followed then by a message *cfg80211: Exceeded CRDA call max attempts. Not calling CRDA* you might want to get rid of this warning message (as I wanted). All you have to do is to install crda package (and dependencies like iw) which provides a database of frequency bands to be used for WiFi transmissions in certain countries/regions. So just "yum install crda" and then "reboot". You should not see warnings anymore. Maybe this will help somebody. Jan

CUPS package for Pi 3 running CentOS 7
by Jan Kovalsky 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

Hi all developers, I'm currently considering to use Raspberry Pi 3 as a print server running CentOS 7. However I found that there is not cups rpm package available in any repo. I saw only client, filters and libs. Don't you know when cups rpm package might be available? Thanks for your answers. Jan

In that repository, README.md says to look for the c7 branch - and there appears to be no c7 branch.
