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

rng-tools missing and /dev/hwrng without driver
by SW＠EU 28 May '17

28 May '17

Hi, today I will report a problem that is released to ipa-server. This server contains a certificate authority and such service need many entropy. The default on CentOS 7 on a Banana PI is not enough, i.e. $(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail) is less than 1000. I have solved this in meantime by installing and enabling of haveged from the EPEL repository. Normally it would be done by installing the rng-tools. But there are two problems: 1. The rng-tools was not in the repositories, so I have downloaded rng-tools-5-8.fc24.armv7hl.rpm because this are the same version which is included in CentOS 7.3 for x86_64. 2. This rng-tools are usable but the daemon starts and stops immediately with the following error message: # rngd -v /dev/hwrng: No such device /dev/tpm0: No such file or directory No entropy sources found, exiting This is not the problem of this binary it is a problem of the Kernel. /dev/hwrng exists and if I remove it then it reappears after reboot, but # ls -l /dev/hwrng crw-------. 1 root root 10, 183 1. Jan 1970 /dev/hwrng # udevadm info -a -n /dev/hwrng Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format. A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device and the attributes from one single parent device. looking at device '/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random': KERNEL=="hw_random" SUBSYSTEM=="misc" DRIVER=="" ATTR{rng_current}=="none" ATTR{rng_available}=="" there is no driver for this device. I have searched and found this link http://forum.lemaker.org/thread-23618-1-1.html which includes a link to the full story. If I read all right then on bananian /dev/hwrng appears only if the adapted or a more actual sun4i-ss.ko module is loaded (there is written: "module author has indicated this will be going into the mainline kernel shortly“). This module is also loaded on a Banana PI with current CentOS 7. So does the kernel of CentOS 7.3 for ARM32 include this patch and if yes why it does not work or otherwise why this device appears but has no driver?

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 .

Customizing Chronyd for no battery
by Robert Moskowitz 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Fellow armv7-without-rtc-battery users. Maybe you have already learned this, but I THINK I have completed my education on this thanks to Miroslav Lichvar on the Chrony list. There are two issues here: It takes time for chronyd to set the system time. And if it fails to reach the ntp servers, well, it failed to set the time. For the first, we need to delay some services from starting until chronyd is successful. Postfix is one of them. So we need the following commands: systemctl enable chrony-wait systemctl start chrony-wait sed -i '/^After=/ s/$/ time-sync.target/w /dev/stdout' /usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service There are some possible instances where you also want to do this to httpd.service, but I have been advised on the postfix list NOT to run postfix if the systemtime is earlier than the postfix build date $ postconf -dh mail_release_date 20130622 Plus the postfix.service runs aliases.db which will mess up your aliases.db timestamp. Next there is that pesky issue about what if no ntp servers reached? First: cat <<EOF>/etc/sysconfig/chronyd || exit 1 OPTIONS=" -s" EOF Since Centos7 has Chronyd 2.1.1, not 2.2, we have extra work to do in chronyd.conf: cat <<EOF>>/etc/chrony.conf || exit 1 rtcdevice /dev/doesnotexist EOF I am adding this to my basic server howto page.

It is also touch sensitive, once everything is loaded I can run ts_calibrate and calibrate the touchscreen portion of the device. I am currently in the process of installing a full UI to test functionality properly. I will endeavour to find a space on wiki.centos.org<http://wiki.centos.org> to record my findings.

Hi Guys, I have been able to successfully install and configure one of the adafruit touch TFT screens. I am up to the point where the screen displays at the correct orientation and I can also get ts_calibrate from the libts library working properly. I'm happy to post a step by step guide, just not sure where to put it. This is the device https://www.adafruit.com/product/2441 Regards Anders

Hi, if I look into the logs under 18030-ipa-4.4.0-14.el7.centos.7 then I see that it was not build successfully but the error looks for me !!! like an internal error: http://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/c71611-updates-1/repodata/242e67b81f474…: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 404 - Not Found How such problems are handled? The build of the following package (18031-irqbalance-1.0.7-6.el7_3.1) has also failed. Is this an automatic process which tries it only once?
