Good Day , I hope this finds you well.

update - You and exchanged some email and IRC text in part about CentOS/ARM/UBoot.

I have just received the recommended BananaPi 2M Ultra I ordered and a Rock64 2G

I dug more into U-Boot and am setting up the toolchain (ref = http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_U-Boot)

on one of my x86_64

I send this message to ask if there is anything specific I would be of value to help with. I suspect there

is a lot going on (CentoOS 7.7 and 8.x) and know I am a bit of a noob but where I can help I would be

glad to do so (with hopefully not being too much burden as I 'bootstrap') . Does that seem reasonable?

What is best next step? Or where, if you would direct me, to look.

Best,

Doug

Hi,

Running CentOS on ARM is the largest part of my interest that is to this forum.

I have armv7l and (1) aarch64 at this point. I have (below) CentOS running on a couple of devices.

NAME="CentOS Linux"
VERSION="7 (AltArch)"
ID="centos"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="7"
PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 7 (AltArch)"

I will put this on the IRC as well -- responding here to close this loop.

Near term I would like to get the aarch64 running and just pulled down RHEL 8.1 for aarch64 (x86_64 too) and
am turning to that next. Then I would like to know what I can do to contribute and I can add more details.

Other interests beyond CentOS on ARM include IPv6, more Golang programming, containers (nspawn, podman)
and as a bit of a reach wayland.

Does that help?

Thanks,
Doug

Greetings.

Hello!

How can I provide any help? Is there something specific needed or best for a new participant to work on or for? What is best to do to get started?

If you're mostly interested in ARM, we can keep the talk here.
What are your interests wrt centos and ARM specifically? armhfp, aarch64 servers?

BTW, I'm normally slow to answer emails, but faster on irc, so if you want, use the #centos-arm channel on freenode and it can be a bit more dynamic (instead of waiting 5 days for an answer, sorry :))
Thanks in advance for your time.
