Greetings.
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?
Thanks in advance for your time.

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.

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

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

Ok, the bpi-m2u should "just work" with the images from 7.7, in fact those images have the sata patches backported from 4.20 into 4.19. Steps are just what is outlined in the wiki (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/armhfp)

Once you have that bpi working, and you're familiar with the steps, it would help a lot getting that rock64 to work, even with non-standard uboot/kernels. Once it works that way, we can move on to standard things. I can't help much more than that, because I don't have (yet) any aarch64 socs (ok, I have rpi3b and rpi4b, but assigned to other things).
What is best next step? Or where, if you would direct me, to look.
Best, Doug

P.S.: Don't worry about asking things that you may think are noob questions, those are needed to learn ;-)
I hope your week is going great.
... my Banana Pi 2M Ultra will not boot (working on getting a refund or a replacement). As an aside -- If you have good place to get one let me know
I do have the rock64, a raspberry pi3 b+ and pi4 b (4G)
If it would be of value I could turn to one of those. Let me know if there is anything specific. I have the C8 CentOS-8-aarch64-1905-dvd1.iso downloaded and will work on moving that to the rock64.
Else I will hold until I have the bpi, ok?
Thanks for your time Doug

Really???, that is strange. not even using the image from the vendor?
I do have the rock64, a raspberry pi3 b+ and pi4 b (4G)
If it would be of value I could turn to one of those. Let me know if there is anything specific. I have the C8 CentOS-8-aarch64-1905-dvd1.iso downloaded and will work on moving that to the rock64.
So, 3b+ and 4b should work with 7.7 (armhfp) using the right images (3b even works with the generic image, the same you'd use for the bpi-m2u). Steps to get the rock64 boot were discussed yesterday in #centos-arm, and it would be good to test those steps while you're doing them. They will be really helpful once I can get some new images for aarch64

No need to hold, you have plenty to play with already ;)
Thanks for your time Doug

Got it.. I will look for the details from the IRC chat.
