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:

1. 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.

2.  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
