RE: [Arm-dev] Centos on rpi4

Just for the appreciation for all the work Pablo did (we make much use of it);


Downloaded the image, flashed it and boot up right away..



_OT_


As for Centos 8 I'll took the liberty to copy-cat and create an aarch64 development-image for the RPI4

Note: it has no swap on disk but a zram implementation..


development image:

https://github.com/markVnl/centos-sbc-tools/releases

( I run libvirt on it ot test aarch64 and armhfp packages in VM's on it and it did not let me down once...)


kernel (re)build on Copr:

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/markvnl/Raspberry_PI4/packages/



Awating a 5.x kernel with somewhat decent RPI 4 support i'v prepared aarch64 U-boot build with a <EFI/centos> patch

grtz, Mark

Ok,  I'll try that again.  (I have no idea what lpae memory is, I just 
bought an rpi4 with 4gb)
