Gigabyte MP30-AR0
by Gordan Bobic 03 Oct '25

03 Oct '25

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

Recently rebuild the cross-toolchian from FC29 (cross-gcc-8.1.1-3) as this fits the major versioning of binutils 2.30.x . Also the device tree compiler in el8 does not ship the python3 wrappers needed to build uboot-tools, Hence did rebuild dtc with the python3 wrapper packaged. Again, as far as I know the above only applies to el8. > I have some PoC tools from a few months ago that I'll try to revive, > we'll see how that goes.

Consider updating uboot-tools
by mark 21 May '21

Hello list (maintainer of uboot-tools), I'd like to bring a nice enhancement of u-boot to you attention; looks like with commit (1) u-boot will call the efi boot manager before falling back to the default removable-media location: EFI/BOOT on the (fat32) efi partition If I understand correctly this would take care of the fedora-path patch issue still carried in CentOS u-boot. As a matter of fact fedora dropped the uefi-use-Fedora-specific-path-name.patch (2) As per subject: IMHO this is a extra incentive to update the fairly old uboot-tools :) (1) https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/commit/f3866909e35074ea6f50226d40487a180de… (2) https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/uboot-tools/c/6209cab21ad85061b66d6be412…

Centos 7.9 weird firewall/application issue
by R C 10 May '21

10 May '21

Hello, I have a weird issue with the firewall running (Centos 7.9) wit an application. The application pulls data from an Ad-converter card, via USB, and sends the data to a db server using curl. (via a wireless device that is plugged into USB. When the firewall is running I get all kinds of weird errors (in that application), usb-port related BUT when the firewall is not running, it works just fine. (I wonder if it is a memory issue?) any ideas here? thanks, Ron
