centos 7 64 bit on raspberry Pi 3
by R 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hello, I was wondering if there is a procedure for installing Centos 7 on the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ while installing Centos 7.5 on armhfp is very clear and documented given that a raw root image is provided and you just "dd" it on the memory card, it is not clear to me how to do it with aarch64. A ISO image is provided but how to install it on the raspberry ? thank you Rick

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.

by R C 31 May '20

31 May '20

Hello, I am going to use a raspberry PI for browsing on a TV, so I want to connect with a wireless keyboard, bluetooth. It looks like bluetooth is "not running"; [rocr@centos-rpi3 ~]$ systemctl status bluetooth.service ● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:bluetoothd(8) I don't have any bluetooth devices connected yet. but the service should be up, right? Is there a write-up, guide, to get bluetooth configured? thanks, Ron

Re: [Arm-dev] Add Marvell Armada7k8k NIC (mvpp2) support patches
by Marcin Wojtas 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?

Basic centos8 functionality on rpi4.
by Jeremy Linton 16 Apr '20

16 Apr '20

Hi, As a FYI, the pftf https://rpi4-uefi.dev/ is attempting to build a SBBR complaint firmware based on the SBSA complaint parts of the rpi4. What this means, is that recent versions of the firmware can boot/install the centos 8 default ISO images out of the box. There are a number of limitations, including that the centos kernel doesn't yet have the network/ACPI patches in place for the platform. But, given a USB3/SSD & USB3/NIC, it is a fairly painless process to install and use. The 3G limit & ACPI firmware options should be selected. Once that is done it can be booted/installed either via the graphical console (+usb keyboard/mouse on the USB3 ports), or on the serial ports depending on firmware settings.

No ability to control desktop resolution with CentOS 7 on RPi3B (Xfce4)
by John Frink 12 Apr '20

12 Apr '20

My apologies in advance for what is undoubtedly a noob situation. I have downloaded and successfully loaded CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-RaspberryPI-Minimal-1908-sda.raw on my Pi 3B. I then loaded Xfce4 with X11. (Thank you to all here who have made this process so painless). However, I am using an HP L3065 monitor which has only dual-link DVI inputs. I have the HDMI-to-DVI adapter, so the system boots well. However, it will only display at a resolution of 1280x1024. There is no /boot/config.txt file for me to hack, and my attempts at using xrandr with either cvt or gtf has only generated error messages (e.g., "Failed to get size of gamma for output default"). My objective is to get the system to use 1920x1080. Is it better to use cvt or gtf for the parameters needed by xrandr? Should I create a /boot/config.txt file for the system? If so, is there a generic template for such a file? If you can offer any suggestions, I would be greatly appreciative. Joseph
