Future of CentOS 8 on armhfp?
by Paul Graham 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

I have been using the CentOS 8 image on a few 32-bit ARM devices (Zynq 7000 and Raspberry Pi 4) for several months with a lot of success. For my use case, I have to create some custom kernels and bootloaders to support my custom hardware for Zynq, but I leverage the CentOS 8 userland. In any case, I was wondering what the plans were for CentOS 8 on armhfp and what kind of help you might need to help get CentOS 8 for armhfp as well supported as it is for CentOS 7? I also use CentOS 7 for some projects, but I would like to transition to CentOS 8 to leverage the longer potential support cycle and the newer packages and technologies. Lastly, what is the best way to report CentOS 8 on armhfp bugs? Is it better to report that here or at https://bugs.centos.org ? Thanks for all of your hard work on CentOS for armhfp! Paul

Marvell MVPP2 NIC support
by Marcin Wojtas 03 Nov '20

Hi, After installing Centos8.2 on Marvell CN9132 based platform I noticed that compared to altarch7-aarch64 support the Marvell MVPP2 NIC support was dropped. In order to enable it we would need to add CONFIG_ARCH_MVEBU=y CONFIG_MVPP2=m to the SOURCES/kernel-aarch64.config & SOURCES/kernel-aarch64-debug.config What are the steps to achieve that? Centos altarch7 had a described procedure for submitting the kernel patches, but that seems to be changed in the new distro version. Best regards, Marcin
