epel-release
by Robert Moskowitz 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Ok, I see this epel-release in the epel1 repo that I installed via the wiki. So I decide to install it, and it created an epel.repo.rpmnew file. I swicth around the files and try a 'yum update' and get: epel/armhfp/metalink | 47 kB 00:00 Could not parse metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=armhfp error was No repomd file One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: .... File /var/cache/yum/armhfp/7/epel/metalink.xml does not exist So I put everything back.

Re: [Arm-dev] Add Marvell Armada7k8k NIC (mvpp2) support patches
by Marcin Wojtas 26 May '20

26 May '20

Hi Jim, It's been a while, since I sent the patch. Any objections about merging? Is v4.11 kernel still a valid baseline or for the next releases or we should use v4.14? When is that transition and next release supposed to happen?

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

Different issues with "DTOVERLAY".

MacchiatoBin support int the Centos7
by Marcin Wojtas 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Hi Jim, Since the newest Centos7 works out-of-the box with the latest MacchiatoBin firmware and also the integrated NICs are supported (beggining from kernel-alt-4.14.0-49.13.1.el7a), can you please shift MacchiatoBin to 'Supported Hardware' section in https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64 ? Thanks, Marcin

Enterprise distros and the two faces of 'reliability'
by Fred Gleason 28 Oct '18

28 Oct '18

Howdy Folks: Our discussion of the distinctive elements of CentOS’s Aarch64 variant has gotten me pondering. What does an ‘enterprise’ distro bring to the table that makes it desirable over the alternatives available? (By ‘enterprise distro’, I here mean the stream of data originated by the Upstream Provider, as well as those modified and distributed by all the various downstream projects, including CentOS). To my mind, I see two basic categories that are relevant here: 1) ‘Enterprise’ features, by which I mean things like: supports ‘big iron’ systems, supports fault tolerance and scalability, interoperates well with all of the common ‘non-native’ protocols and features found in a typical large computing environment. 2) ‘Stability’ features, by which I mean: has a well-defined infrastructure for distributing code fixes and security updates, has a long support lifetime, manages the ABI carefully so as to ensure that system updates can be applied with good confidence that they will not break existing locally-installed applications. These two categories are largely orthogonal. I say ‘largely’ because there is a hidden implicit commonality: reliability. Yet the presence of one need not necessarily imply the presence (or even desirability) of the other. For example, a project that uses an ‘embedded’ board (BeagleBoard, etc) to make small, autonomous ‘widget’ type devices really does not care about about the presence of 1), while 2) can be a highly desirable attribute. Category 1) is essentially an *operational* attribute, desirable in certain use cases but superfluous (or even counterproductive) in others, while category 2) addresses *maintenance* issues, critical for long-term service and support of a system but largely irrelevant to the typical day-to-day operation of applications. All of this to pose the question: is an ‘enterprise’ distro (in the specific sense meant here) an appropriate long-term choice for an ‘embedded’ project? Given the stated intention of the Upstream Provider to support only ARM systems that integrate APCI and comply with SBSA [Server Base System Architecture] standards in future major releases (see https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/arm-dev/2017-October/003120.html), is such a distro an appropriate long-term choice for an ‘embedded’ project?

Hardware Giveaway
by Gordan Bobic 27 Oct '18

27 Oct '18

I've been meaning to get back to some of my ARM hardware, but inbetween all the work commitments it doesn't look like that's feasible before these ARMs will only be good for the landfill. So, if anyone here is interested, here is what is up for grabs, for free: - Toshiba AC-100 x3 (at least one is in it's original box) - Genesi Efika MX Smartbook (in original box) - Compulab SB-A510+CM-A510 (yup, in original box) - Compulab TrimSlice (you guessed it - in original box) All have been used, but are in condition ranging from excellent to mint. If anyone wants any of these for a purpose better than it gathering dust in their cupboard rather than mine, email me off list with a shipping label for posting from mainland UK, and I'll post it to you. Best regards. Gordan

hikey 960?
by Skorpeo Skorpeo 26 Oct '18

26 Oct '18

Has anyone been able to install centos using iso on a Hikey 960? The wiki says "The Hikey from 96boards mostly works, but setup is complex. The installer currently cannot be used as one would traditionally expect." Any guides out there on how to get it to work? I am only able to get it to the initial installation menu but no further, I tried playing with various kernel parameters but to no avail. Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated!
