Trying to boot Centos 1804 on Orange Pi Zero
by Orion Poplawski 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

Hello - I'm just getting started in the work of Arm based boards. I'd like to use CentOS on my Orange Pi Zero. I've followed the instructions here: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/armhfp but the system does not appear boot - no red LED, no ethernet activity. It does when I use one of the Orange Pi provided Ubuntu images. I'm using the /usr/share/uboot/orangepi_zero/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin uboot image, and CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-generic-Minimal-1804-sda.raw.xz centos image. Comparing the contents of partition 1 which seems to be the boot partition, on the Orange Pi image I see: # ls -l /mnt total 4654 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 538 Nov 9 2016 boot.scr* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 34864 Nov 9 2016 script.bin* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 49292 Nov 9 2016 sys_config.fex* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 4679592 Nov 9 2016 uImage* while on the Centos image I see: root(a)barry.cora.nwra.com [~]# ls -l /mnt total 12998 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 50248 May 1 06:26 bootcode.bin* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 4442 May 1 06:26 config-64.txt* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 4285 May 1 06:26 config.txt* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2594 May 1 06:26 fixup_cd.dat* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 6581 May 1 06:26 fixup.dat* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 9726 May 1 06:26 fixup_db.dat* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 9726 May 1 06:26 fixup_x.dat* drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 2048 May 1 06:26 overlays/ -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 411984 May 1 06:26 rpi2-u-boot.bin* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 422632 May 1 06:26 rpi3-u-boot.bin* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 667492 May 1 06:26 start_cd.elf* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 4965380 May 1 06:26 start_db.elf* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2827652 May 1 06:26 start.elf* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3911652 May 1 06:26 start_x.elf* which seems more Raspberry Pi oriented? Is there something I'm missing? -- Orion Poplawski Manager of NWRA Technical Systems 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/

Fwd: Fedora 29 new U-Boot/arm-trusted-firmware and Raspberry Pi firmware heads up
by Robert Moskowitz 07 Sep '18

Cross posting here, but these are important changes and new uboot support. Plus that update-uboot sounds like something we can use here... -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [fedora-arm] Fedora 29 new U-Boot/arm-trusted-firmware and Raspberry Pi firmware heads up Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2018 10:32:24 +0100 From: Peter Robinson <pbrobinson(a)gmail.com> To: arm(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Hi All, There's a new update headed to testing for Fedora 29. It makes some adjustments to how we handle a few things, in particular the Raspberry Pi firmware: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-56bc88dfb2 I don't expect anyone to see anything issues in particular especially for the vast majority of people that just use a SD card or HDD with their ARM device but there might be some corner cases for people with slightly more esoteric setups when they upgrade. If anyone sees any issues please open a bug [1] or reply to this or reach out on #fedora-arm. The change has been in rawhide for a little while and I've not seen any fall out there. Also the new U-Boot will have some slight improvements for those running AllWinner 64 bit devices as we've moved to the upstream ARM trusted firmware. It's just a snapshot at the moment but the previous fork was quite old and had it's issues on certain devices so I expect this to be an overall win for people there, but again I can't test everything so if anyone sees issues please reach out. All please add karma to the above update when you do test it. People can update U-Boot on a running system with the update-uboot command with similar syntax to arm-image-installer.
