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

by Uli Middelberg 17 Sep '18

Hi Fabian, hi Jim, the CentOS 7.5.1804 iso images have been released for a while now and I'm wondering if you have plans to provide a generic armhfp / aarch64 root filesystem [1],[2] as well? Cheers Uli [1] https://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/images-testing/CentOS-Userland-7-armv7… [2] http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7.4.1708/isos/aarch64/CentOS-7-aarch64-roo…

Extending partition on SD card on Rpi-3
by vamsi krishna 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Hi Team, Being new to the Linux world, I have installed Centos for R Pi3 on a 16gb microSD card, and partitions are done by default, leaving less space for root file system. Here is what I get. This is the second time I am running into this issue. Can anyone help me with the steps to increase the size for /dev/root to 6G please. Operating System: CentOS Linux 7 (Core) CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:7 Kernel: Linux 4.14.27-v7.1.el7 Architecture: arm [root@rpi ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/root 1.4G 999M 347M 75% / devtmpfs 460M 0 460M 0% /dev tmpfs 464M 0 464M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 464M 12M 452M 3% /run tmpfs 464M 0 464M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mmcblk0p1 667M 43M 625M 7% /boot tmpfs 93M 0 93M 0% /run/user/0 Any help is highly appreciated. -- Have a nice day. Thanks and regards, Vamsi, Skype @ kvamsi.k143 +91-9704433304.

uboot location
by Robert Moskowitz 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Hello, I am back after a fairly long time doing other stuff. I am working on building from the 1804 generic images for my Cubieboards. I am following: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/armhfp My notebook is Fedora 28, and dnf install uboot-images-armv7 uboot-images-armv8 works, but puts the uboot in a different place than noted in the wiki. On Fedora, they are going in /usr/share/uboot/ Is the wiki correct for what Centos is placing them? thanks

Broken package?
by Chris Smith 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Hello, I've run across this while trying to do " yum groupinstall "Development Tools" ". I'm trying to install "systemtap-devel-3.2-8.el7_5.armv7hl" and it's saying: Error: Package: systemtap-devel-3.2-8.el7_5.armv7hl (updates) Requires: kernel-devel-uname-r I think maybe somehow "$(uname -r)" isn't being expressed correctly? Thanks, Chris S

bluez-5.44 needs support for RaspberryPi 3 B
by Jordi Sanfeliu 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

Hello, The current package 'bluez-5.44-4.el7' doesn't include full support for the Bluetooth device on the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (BCM43430). That's the reason why you get the Bluetooth MAC address as 'AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA' executing 'hciconfig -a'. As stated here <https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=176348>, we need to patch the 'bluez' package with the following 4 patches listed here <https://gist.github.com/pelwell/c8230c48ea24698527cd>, as the Fedora guys do in their 'bluez.spec' file: [...] # Pi3B Patch50: 0050-bcm43xx-Add-bcm43xx-3wire-variant.patch Patch51: 0051-bcm43xx-The-UART-speed-must-be-reset-after-the-firmw.patch Patch52: 0052-Increase-firmware-load-timeout-to-30s.patch Patch53: 0053-Move-43xx-firmware-to-lib-firmware.patch [...] Once applied such patches the real Bluetooth MAC address appears successfully: # hciconfig -a hci0: Type: Primary Bus: UART BD Address: B8:27:EB:37:2C:0D ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1 UP RUNNING PSCAN RX bytes:1550 acl:0 sco:0 events:50 errors:0 TX bytes:1045 acl:0 sco:0 commands:50 errors:0 Features: 0xbf 0xfe 0xcf 0xfe 0xdb 0xff 0x7b 0x87 Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3 Link policy: RSWITCH SNIFF Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT Name: 'XXXXXXXXX-rpi3' Class: 0x000000 Service Classes: Unspecified Device Class: Miscellaneous, HCI Version: 4.1 (0x7) Revision: 0xb6 LMP Version: 4.1 (0x7) Subversion: 0x2209 Manufacturer: Broadcom Corporation (15) Also, in order to complement the above patching, it is recommended to add the '--experimental' argument to the Bluetooth daemon in the systemd unit file: # cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service [Unit] Description=Bluetooth service Documentation=man:bluetoothd(8) ConditionPathIsDirectory=/sys/class/bluetooth [Service] Type=dbus BusName=org.bluez ExecStart=/usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd --experimental NotifyAccess=main #WatchdogSec=10 #Restart=on-failure CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_ADMIN CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE LimitNPROC=1 ProtectHome=true ProtectSystem=full [Install] WantedBy=bluetooth.target Alias=dbus-org.bluez.service Regards. -- Jordi Sanfeliu FIBRANET Network Services Provider https://www.fibranet.cat
