I've been looking into things I can do to help with getting
CentOS 8 AArch64 to run on the Pi4. It appears that the
upstream kernel now has the proper stuff merged in to support
the NIC and eMMC controller. <br>

Nice, we need help testing/fixing things!! <br>
<blockquote type="cite"> <br>
So far 2 approaches are being made: The U-Boot mechanism
(looks like this is what Ubuntu 20.04 is doing) and the SBBR
(ACPI + UEFI) way. It looks like a few folks may be loading
the SBBR firmware with luck on the standard CentOS 8 aarch64
image. <br>

Yes, I'm really looking forward to test this <a

yet <br>

Could one potentially recompile the SRPM for kernel 5.6 from
elrepo and drop it in? I found the CentOS8 pi4 aarch64
userland image here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://people.centos.org/pgreco"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://people.centos.org/pgreco</a>.
Has anyone tried getting the SBBR firmware to load the stock
aarch64 CentOS 8 image without support for the eMMC / NIC, to
basically bootstrap and compile the SRPM for the 5.6 kernel? <br>

I think some of the patches landed for 5.6 and some for 5.7, The
images you pointed are using the kernel from the raspberry pi
foundation (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/raspberrypi/" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/raspberrypi/</a>),
what I'm working on right now is building those kernels, but as
a subpackage of our normal kernel-lts kernel, which would allow
people to switch kernels back and forth, while still keeping the
same LTS logic <br>
<blockquote type="cite"> <br>
And finally does anyone know if CentOS will be backporting the
Pi4 changes to 4.18, or will they be releasing a custom
kernel? Could I help out with that? <br>
</blockquote>
Unless something starts working as a side effect of another
backport, I don't think there's any chance of 4.18 including rpi
patches. What we will be doing is releasing our lts kernels and
hopefully backporting some functionality for it to work until
the next lts comes around. <br>
As soon as I have a kernel that at least boots, I'll post it
somewhere for you to test <br>
