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

Request for a new package: raspberrypi-vc
by Jordi Sanfeliu 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

Hello, Following the Fabian Arrotin recommendation, I open here the request to include the 'raspberrypi-vc' package into the CentOS 7 EPEL repository, or in the main tree. This package includes a command called 'vcgencmd' which offers a set of interesting values of the Raspberry Pi board; e.g. its temperature. Check here <http://www.elinux.org/RPI_vcgencmd_usage> for more information. I've downloaded the SRPM package from here <http://www.squeezecommunity.org/repo/fedora/24/pi/SRPMS/raspberrypi-vc-2016…>, and I realized that it was pretty easy to build on a full-updated CentOS 7 (kernel 4.4.14-v7). The following are the small modifications I made on the .spec file to accomplish it: --- raspberrypi-vc.spec 2016-07-05 23:23:13.000000000 +0200 +++ raspberrypi-vc.spec.ok 2016-07-13 12:14:39.494059817 +0200 @@ -21,12 +21,12 @@ Patch1: raspberrypi-vc-EGL-dep.patch # dtoverlay -BuildRequires: libfdt-devel >= 1.4.1-501.gitbeef80b%{?dist} +##BuildRequires: libfdt-devel >= 1.4.1-501.gitbeef80b%{?dist} Requires: libfdt >= 1.4.1-501.gitbeef80b%{?dist} BuildRequires: cmake, gcc-c++ -ExclusiveArch: armv6hl armv7hnl +ExclusiveArch: armv7hl %description Libraries, utilities and demos for the Raspberry Pi BCM2835/6 SOC GPU @@ -34,7 +34,7 @@ %package libs Summary: Libraries for accessing the Raspberry Pi GPU -Requires: %{name}-firmware >= 20150212git47bd0f0-501 +##Requires: %{name}-firmware >= 20150212git47bd0f0-501 #Provides: libEGL.so #Provides: libGLESv1_CM.so The build generated successfully the following packages: [root@rpi3 rpmbuild]# l -R RPMS/ RPMS/: total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 26 15:59 armv7hl drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 13 12:23 noarch RPMS/armv7hl: total 1352 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 552156 Jul 13 12:22 raspberrypi-vc-libs-20160705-501.git0b8c195.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 340184 Jul 13 12:22 raspberrypi-vc-libs-devel-20160705-501.git0b8c195.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 244960 Jul 13 12:23 raspberrypi-vc-static-20160705-501.git0b8c195.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 241332 Jul 13 12:23 raspberrypi-vc-utils-20160705-501.git0b8c195.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm RPMS/noarch: total 30688 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31420584 Jul 13 12:23 raspberrypi-vc-demo-source-20160705-501.git0b8c195.el7.centos.noarch.rpm The installation worked finely: # [root@rpi3 armv7hl]# rpm -ivh raspberrypi-vc-utils-20160705-501.git0b8c195.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm raspberrypi-vc-libs-20160705-501.git0b8c195.el7.centos.armv7hl.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%] Updating / installing... 1:raspberrypi-vc-libs-20160705-501.################################# [ 50%] 2:raspberrypi-vc-utils-20160705-501################################# [100%] Then a simple command to get the temperature: [root@rpi3 ~]# vcgencmd measure_temp temp=47.2'C Thanks. -- Jordi Sanfeliu FIBRANET Network Services Provider http://www.fibranet.cat

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 .

ipa-server packages
by Ente Trompete 15 Mar '17

15 Mar '17

Hi, maybe I'm wrong but IMO I have found the ipa-server packages on your arm32 repository last year (still CentOS 7.2). But now no ipa-server* package any more (CentOS 7.3) and BTW for aarch64 also only ipa-server-common-4.4.0-12.el7.centos.noarch.rpm are available. In the Fedora 25 armhfp repositories freeipa-server* v4.4.1-3 packages are offered. So I assume that it should work on ARM32 but otherwise on Fedora everything is experimental and may not work ;-). Is there any plan to build also the ipa-server* packages for ARM32 CentOS Userland Linux or must we wait for future 7.x > 7.3 there Red Hat has officail added ARM support (of course only for ARM64)?

EPEL for Centos7-armv7?
by Robert Moskowitz 08 Mar '17

08 Mar '17

Is there EPEL built for the armv7 images? I need them for my mailserver. It was quite a job building my mailserver for RSEL6, only some of the rpms I needed were available. Took a lot to work through it. So I am asking now, a bit ahead of starting in mailserver upgrade. Thanks

Rebase to kernel 4.9.x (LTS) for armhfp : call for testers
by Fabian Arrotin 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Hi guys, As mentioned in the other thread about new kernel (basically to fix the dccp cve issue), I had a look at the 4.4.x branch, but thought also about a rebase to 4.9.x (also upstream LTS at kernel.org) For AltArch (centos 7 i386), Johnny built a 4.9.13 kernel and so I reused it for armhfp It also makes sense to rebase to 4.9.x for rpi2/rpi3 as the rpi foundation also rebased to 4.9 and so confirmed to me that they don't maintain 4.4.x (even if they still accept Pull Requests). So we have now 4.9.13 available for both rpi and generic. The following /etc/yum.repos.d/testing-kernel.repo would do it : [kernel-testing] name=CentOS Kernels for armhfp testing baseurl=https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/kernel/$basearch/kernel-$kvar… enabled=0 gpgcheck=0 [firmware] name=firmware baseurl=https://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/arm-kernels/linux-firmware-201… enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 After that a simple yum update --enablerepo=kernel-testing would bring it to the node For rpi, nothing to be done For the other boards, I've added an update-boot tool to automatically modify extlinux.conf. but you need the updated centos-userland-release pkg : https://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/c71611-updates-1/centos-userland-relea… Worth noting that the actual 4.9.13 will *not* call it in the %post rpm transaction (yet) but if that tool works for everybody, we'll add it for newer kernels. Any feedback is welcome, but for the kernel I'd like to push that asap to signing/release (so the more feedback, the faster we'll have it released) ;-) Cheers, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab

7.3.1611 armhfp kernel sources
by Uli Middelberg 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hi, I was quite happy to see that the BananaPi Image contains dtb files for my imx6 based CuBox-i and I successfully booted the distro kernel. Unfortunately it turned out that the hardware support is somehow incomplete, e.g. the SATA port cannot be found. I'm running a mainline kernel on the CuBox-i since kernel version 4.2, so I don't expect much effort to get adequate hardware support with the CentOS kernel as well. Where can I get the armhfp kernel sources, I haven't found them [here](https://github.com/CentOS) and [here](http://vault.centos.org/7.3.1611/os/Source/SPackages/)? Cheers Uli

Mailserver work
by Robert Moskowitz 26 Feb '17

26 Feb '17

So I have been spending way too much time on my new mailserver instead of other work. The howto do date is: http://medon.htt-consult.com/Centos7-mailserver.html This is all hand-coded html. I have learned a bit, and any tips are accepted. Some inconsistencies where I learned something, and did not go back and change all occurrences. I still need to USE postfixadmin to create a domain and a user. Then test postfix and dovecot and roundcubemail. I still have to configure amavis, clamav, spamasssassin, and maybe mailgraph.... Any review is appreciated. Bob
