Iván, I didn't have time today to build 4.18 today, but I pushed 4.17.17, and it should appear here https://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/community-kernel-latest/kernel/ between today and tomorrow. It has smp for a83t (bananapi-m3 and cubieborard5) Your hdmi patch for cubieboard5. Some other fixes for R40.
It would be great if you could test it.
I will and report on this thread, thanks!
OK Guys,
I bought a Cubieboard5 a very long time ago to test on CentOS-7. Years later, it finally works :).
I worked with Pablo to test his 4.17.17 kernel, using this thread, specifically this post:
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/arm-dev/2018-August/003399.html
I am happy to say that I now have it working now.
My only real issues were:
- The '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-link.sh' needing to be
deleted and a permanent MACADDR added.
I have not deleted my ifcfg-link script (mine does not have the .sh extension?) I just made the eth0
But then I have cubie 2 and 3 (truck).
This post by Robert used to Delete the ifcfg-link.sh and I created a static IP with a MACADDR:
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/arm-dev/2018-August/003366.html
(don't forget to edit ifcfg-eth0.sh and change HWADDR= to MACADDR=)
Per the Network Manager list:
nmcli con mod $ifname ethernet.cloned-mac-address "$your_mac"
We did have an interesting discussion on the historical origin of these names and why they will remain as they are.
- I am getting a usb bus hang .. it normally takes about 5 minutes for
the bus to reset, then everything seems to be OK.
After setting everything up, I did try using the latest Fedora 29 Cubieboard5 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin. That one did not fix either the MACADDR issue or the usb bus hang.
Are you running on a sata drive with only uboot on the uSD card? I would like to know how sata performance is. Does it even boot (given your usb hang issue) from sata? I remember way back Hans working on getting usb sata (in general) boot working for Allwinner, but I never tested the later uboot versions.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
