Robert, cubieboard5 (AKA Cubietruck Plus) has an A83T SoC, which only got multicore for kernel 4.18 (still not relased). I made a 4.17 version with smp support backported and you can find it here (https://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/community-kernel-latest/kernel/4.17.6-2...). Also cubietruck plus may not have HDMI support yet (I got a patch from another user in #centos-arm and seems to be working).

Using it as a server on if I need a local connection I use the serial console via a TTL/USB converter.  Of course I would have to get the pin-out for this board.

I have that patch included in my kernels, but don't have a device to test it.

...

Finally, the main thing about that board (about that SoC actually), is that SATA is not native, it is an integrated SATA-USB, so performance may be an issue.

Ouch. this is for a mail server that has extensive disk I/O.  So forget this board.

...

Personally I love the BananaPi M2Ultra, 2G RAM, 4 Cores and native SATA. The only problem is that SATA support is not integrated yet in any kernel, so it needs external patches.

Any timing on delivering the support mainline?

Patch is already at v3, I've been using v1 on my device without problems. Doesn't look like it it will be integrated before 4.20 (but we can always backport)

...

Pablo.

P.S: this is a blog post I made a few months ago https://blog.centos.org/2018/05/testing-armhfp-devices/ , BananaPi M3 is practically the same as Cubieboard5.

I will look at it.

...

P.S 2: wrt any device with AllWinner SoC, you can check https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort to know what to expect.

I use to follow it closely and did some testing for Hans when he was running the Allwinner development.  I should go back and check in, so to speak.

Of course if there is a quad core 64-bit ARM with sata under $100 that runs at 5V; that would do nicely!

has anyone here tried out the octa-core Cubieboard5?

Does Centos work with all those cores for better multitasking than the duo-core A20 boards?

One of my Cubieboard2 is dying and I CAN replace it with one of my test boards.  But my mail server does struggle with only 2 cores for all the virus scanning.  If I had more cores, I could lift the attachment limit, perhaps.

I just saw a deal on the Cubieboard5, cheaper than the Cubietruck.

Or info on any other quad board.

thanks

How many of the above requirements are not available.  My first approximation is <$100 and 5V.  We all know there are quad 64bit ARMs out there with sata!

If I am not mistaken odroid fits these bills but its uboot and kernel are NOT mainstreamed, AFAIK. Hence not easy to use with CentOS.

And another question I have on the arm_64 stuff:

Can I move the uboot mSD card and sata drive from one board to another? This is one of the important development things I like with the 32bit. I can develop build on my desk with a test board, then move it all into production in my rack systems.

As long as the firmware resides on (removable) eMMC or mSD, your approach will work. If the firmware resides on internal memory like SPI flash or soldered eMMC storages things become a little bit more complicated. In this case you need to tweak the boot procedure in order to recognise and probe various boot options, e.g. first try to boot from mSD, then from USB, then from SATA, then from network, … Usually you will find the rootfs UUID hard wired in to some of the u-boot variables. This is no matter of 32bit or 64bit, I have both flavours on both architectures.

So far ODROID devices don’t make use of internal storage (hence they are ‘unbrickable’), so they will probably fit to your needs.

B.t.w. have you considered to facilitate Docker for your development?

Cheers Uli

ETA for 4.20, considering we are on 4.9.52?  :)

We are using 4.14.52 (because it is LTS), but I always try to build some of the latest kernels with some additions for my personal devices, so you're welcome to use those ;) Normally kernels are released every 2 or 3 months, and considering 4.18 is almost out, 4.20 should be available by the end of 2018, beginning of 2019.

Hello Pablo,

I've bought this device 1 or 2 years ago, but didn't find any good OS (Fedora, CentOS) for that. How to get this board with your kernel running? Any tips or howto?

I also have 2 Cubietruck 3 with CentOS.

Thanks

WRT CentOS, I can think of two ways to do it, both require the kernels I mentioned earlier in the thread. 1) (Easier)  - Prepare the image as if you where using your cubietruck 3  - boot that image and update (from the cubietruck 3)  - activate the repo and install the kernel  - change uboot to the cubietruck plus  - shutdown and move the image/sd to the new device.

2. (Harder)

- Prepare the image for the cubietruck plus  - download the kernel rpms and copy them to the sd  - boot the cubietruck plus with that image (it has no ethernet, no wifi, and most likely no hdmi, so you'll have to do it via a serial console)  - login via console and manually install the kernel  - reboot

For both metods (and also for Fedora), there may be modules that are not loaded into initramfs, which makes it panic at boot. I usually add this to a .conf file in /etc/dracut.conf.d/ add_drivers+=" phy-sun4i-usb sunxi-rsb axp20x-rsb axp20x-regulator axp20x-pek axp20x_ac_power axp20x_battery axp20x_usb_power axp288_fuel_gauge ac100 rtc-ac100" Some may not be needed anymore, and some may not be needed at all, but hey, it works for me ;)

One last thing that also applies to Fedora and CentOS, you may notice that you get a random MAC for the ethernet every time you boot, you can fix that by adding "MACADDR=<mac>" to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

HTH.

Hello Pablo,

thank you very much for these tipps. I'm now running Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-Rawhide-20180802.n.0-sda.raw.xz. I think, Fedora would be better for my need (pi-hole, DNS, Print-server, Time-server, ...)

As I can see, there is a EMMC-disc with 8 GB. Did you manage to boot from this disc? At the moment, there is a older installation from linaro.

I beg to differ.  Fedora roles versions every 6 months and EOLs a version in 2 years.  This means you are constantly upgrading versions of important servers.  Where as Centos has a 10yr EOL policy.

I only use Fedora for my notebook and when I REALLY need the current version of something (like openSSL 1.1.1 for EDDSA testing).

Get Fedora working.  Work it out, then switch to Centos for production.

Just my 5cent worth.

Absolutely agreed

I personally only use the internal mmc for uboot only, so I know it can boot from there (at least my bpi-m2u). I think that if you just dd from the external mmc to the internal, and then remove the sd, everything should just work.

I'm using CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Minimal-1611-CubieTruck.img.xz because of the CubieTruck in the name. With the CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-generic-Minimal-1804-sda.raw.xz the boot process complains about missing vmlinuz-4.14.28-201.el7.centos.armv7hl

Read the instructions on: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/armhfp for installing Centos generic userland.

But follow my recommendation to swipe the newer uboot from your Fedora-rawhide image, rather than installing the uboot-images on your system and only getting the 2018.03 version.

It runs fine on my Cubieboard2 and Cubietruck.  I do not have a plus.

Okay, I give CentOs on this device a try. What have I done:

1. write Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-Rawhide-20180802.n.0-sda.raw.xz on

the SD-card 2. delete all 4 partions 3. mount CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Minimal-1611-CubieTruck.img as loop device 4. create 3 new partions on SD-Card (same size as CentOS-Image) 5. copy 1. and 3. partion from CentOS to SD-Card 6. copy sun8i-a83t-cubietruck-plus.dtb From Fedora to /mnt/SDCard/1/dtb-4.4.34-201.el7.armv7hl/ 7. boot from SD-Card

OK.  You are using the latest uboot.  Centos build only has 2018.03

Another way is to copy the uboot from Fedora:

/usr/share/uboot/Cubietruck_plus/

and dd that onto the Centos 1804 image (why are you using the old 1611 image?  There were problems with it an Cubietruck+ as I recall).

I'm using CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Minimal-1611-CubieTruck.img.xz because of the CubieTruck in the name. With the CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-generic-Minimal-1804-sda.raw.xz the boot process complains about missing vmlinuz-4.14.28-201.el7.centos.armv7hl

Read the instructions on: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/armhfp for installing Centos generic userland.

But follow my recommendation to swipe the newer uboot from your Fedora-rawhide image, rather than installing the uboot-images on your system and only getting the 2018.03 version.

It runs fine on my Cubieboard2 and Cubietruck.  I do not have a plus.

Cubietruck plus is SoC A83T, and it doesn't work with our 2018.03 uboot, but it does with 2018.05

OK.  So after the dd of the generic image, dd the uboot from a Fedora image.  Then boot up.

...

...

...

Boot this and see what it does.  If it fails, then copy the dtb from Fedora:

/usr/lib/modules/4.18.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc29.armv7hl/dtb/sun8i-a83t-cubietruck-plus.dtb

Andreas, the steps are correct, the only problem is that the uboot version in your host PC is not updated. You are using uboot 2018.03, which doesn't work for your device. All you nned to do is yum update "uboot*" in your host pc and repeat the uboot dd.

Wow, I can boot it, but I can't login and can't install the kernel from Pablo. Whats next?

Good you got the current uboot.

Do you have any other arm soc?  If you put that cards uboot on, boot up on that card, install the new kernel, then go back to the Cubietruck+ uboot, that would work.

Pablo may know of a simpler method, as I don't do kernel work.  I did work a lot with uboot a couple years ago.

Wow, I can boot it, but I can't login and can't install the kernel from Pablo. Whats next?

Good you got the current uboot.

CPU:   Allwinner A83T (SUN8I 1673) Model: Cubietech Cubietruck Plus

Do you have any other arm soc?  If you put that cards uboot on, boot up on that card, install the new kernel, then go back to the Cubietruck+ uboot, that would work.

Pablo may know of a simpler method, as I don't do kernel work.  I did work a lot with uboot a couple years ago.

Sorry: this didn't work, because this Image didn't boot on my Cubietruck 3. Maybe Pablo has an Idea?

Did you dd the Cubietruck uboot?  I have booted on my C3.

Though there may be a 1st boot problem here on things that are copied during 1st boot based on what uboot is present.  In that case, things are really hard, and quite beyond my limited skills.

Any help to activate all CPUs and Ethernet?

I had to apply some patches to the sunxi kernel that were pending to be merged upstream in order to have SMP and HDMI running. I also had to patch the kernel's dtb for the HDMI running (i've been to lazy to send the patch to the kernel list), if you need it i can upload this code to github or i can pack you a kernel+initramfs for you to use it with your cubieboard5 Cheers, Ivan

Ivan, that kernel has both smp and your patch included ;-). Either way, I'll try to update to 4.18 in a few days.

Let me know if i can help, i have my cubieboard5 clusters running if there's need for testing and other stuff.

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.

Hello Pablo, Iván,

thank you very much for your work. With this kernel everything seems to work: 8CPUs, Ethernet, USBtoSATA, not tested: HDMI

I'm now in the process to copy everything from SD-Card to the onboard EMMC, so I can boot from it.

With your work I have a powerfull device.

Thanks Andreas

(thinking what can I do with the cubietruck plus: Time-Server (DCF77) ? DNS-Server? Pi-Hole? ...?)

PS: sometimes I get these messages in the syslog: [ 286.918766] usb usb2-port1: attempt power cycle [ 287.295335] ehci-platform 1c1b000.usb: port 1 reset error -110 [ 288.193314] ehci-platform 1c1b000.usb: port 1 reset error -110 [ 289.033322] ehci-platform 1c1b000.usb: port 1 reset error -110 [ 289.873370] ehci-platform 1c1b000.usb: port 1 reset error -110 [ 290.713280] ehci-platform 1c1b000.usb: port 1 reset error -110 [ 291.344084] usb usb2-port1: Cannot enable.

WRT CentOS, I can think of two ways to do it, both require the kernels I mentioned earlier in the thread. 1) (Easier)  - Prepare the image as if you where using your cubietruck 3  - boot that image and update (from the cubietruck 3)  - activate the repo and install the kernel  - change uboot to the cubietruck plus  - shutdown and move the image/sd to the new device.

2. (Harder)

- Prepare the image for the cubietruck plus  - download the kernel rpms and copy them to the sd  - boot the cubietruck plus with that image (it has no ethernet, no wifi, and most likely no hdmi, so you'll have to do it via a serial console)  - login via console and manually install the kernel  - reboot

For both metods (and also for Fedora), there may be modules that are not loaded into initramfs, which makes it panic at boot. I usually add this to a .conf file in /etc/dracut.conf.d/ add_drivers+=" phy-sun4i-usb sunxi-rsb axp20x-rsb axp20x-regulator axp20x-pek axp20x_ac_power axp20x_battery axp20x_usb_power axp288_fuel_gauge ac100 rtc-ac100" Some may not be needed anymore, and some may not be needed at all, but hey, it works for me ;)

One last thing that also applies to Fedora and CentOS, you may notice that you get a random MAC for the ethernet every time you boot, you can fix that by adding "MACADDR=<mac>" to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

HTH.

Pablo.

Hello Pablo, I've managed to boot this device with CentOS. With the kernel from the CentOS Image (4.14.28-201.el7.centos.armv7hl) there is only 1 CPU, Ethernet is not working, SATA is working.

With the kernel kernel-4.17.6-200.el7.armv7hl.rpm from you the system boots up, but can't find the Disc/SD-Card.

Andreas,
      that is exactly why I said what I said at the end of this

mail https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/arm-dev/2018-August/003399.html.

You
      need to create that file and then recreate initramfs for

4.17 or remove and reinstall the kernel.

I had to apply some patches to the sunxi kernel that were pending to be merged upstream in order to have SMP and HDMI running. I also had to patch the kernel's dtb for the HDMI running (i've been to lazy to send the patch to the kernel list), if you need it i can upload this code to github or i can pack you a kernel+initramfs for you to use it with your cubieboard5

Cheers,Ivan

Ivan, that kernel has both smp and your patch included ;-). Either way, I'll try to update to 4.18 in a few days.

Let me know if i can help, i have my cubieboard5 clusters running if there's need for testing and other stuff.

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

I have not deleted my ifcfg-link script (mine does not have the .sh extension?)  I just made the eth0

no '.sh' , that is the hazard of doing things from memory at 5am and not looking in the actual directory :)

I deleted my file after deleting the connection .. no need for spare / extra files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ to confuse me later.

OK.  Makes sense.  Since I have full steps.txt for each of my servers, I don't have THIS confusion problem.

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.

I am currently using just the uSD card on the cubietruck_plus .. I do have a 5400 2.5" sata on a cubieboard3 .. but I boot from uSD on there too .. and just mount in the sata drive for /home

I was field testing uboot for Hans back at the time and was locally building my own uboot from his source.  I have since long deleted all of that environment and Hans has moved on to other work.

But he DID get sata boot working with only uboot (no partitions allowed) and was working on a bug for usb boot.  He did not get things like the wifi working and a few other odds and ends.  Never checked in to see if later uboot maintainer finished up the work.

But, I am not doing anything important on these test cards (I have a cubieboard3, cubieboad5, Raspberry Pi 2B, and Raspberry Pi 3B).

I run all my servers on Cubies (well not my Samba which is ClearOS, and they don't have an arm image last I checked)  That picture on the web site is my webserver, internal and external DNS servers, and backup (that I may move to my neighbor's, as I have ethernet running to his house).  The 4th is a spare.

My mailserver is a Cubietruck.  Antispam pretty much kills one processor, and that is why I am interested in the C5.  I have limited my attachment size to 20MB.  My wife complains, and I really need more cores so I can handle bigger attachments without slowing everything down.  Well I/O would still be an issue and that is why the sata performance concern.

I basically only use these to test the new install images when we do point released and to run the t_functional suite (Prior to pushing updates):

https://github.com/CentOS/sig-core-t_functional

Hopefully now that you have C5 working with a new kernel, you will push out a new image so that it is 'easy' to use.  Also an update to Centos of uboot-images with those in F29.

I also have an armhfp VM running on an aarch64 local machine using Fabian's guide:

We are working on getting a couple armhfp VMs into our CI system so that I can do my normal Pre-Updates testing:

https://ci.centos.org/view/CentOS-Core/

Until we get some VMs rolled into the CI system, I run those preupdates tests locally.

So I can't really answer your question about the sata performance .. but I might consider buying a ssd and seeing what I can do with that at some point soon.

You can get a 100GB from ebay really cheap.  Make sure it is 500ma, so it powers easily from the board that is powered by a 3A USB source.  I use the ANKAR 40W to power 5 Cubies.  600ma seem to work ok.  Not 1A drives.

Can we not use the NAND/TSOP to boot / run on the cubieboards?

I don't know anyway to move the uboot to NAND.  If I were shown how, I would risk a C2.  I mean it is not bad to tie up the uSD slot with uboot.  I am not going to use it for anything else, and everything boots fast enough with all the partitions on sata.

I have never tried this, as I really only use these to demo stuff at conferences or test the images and having them on a replaceable uSD card is very convenient and I don't have any performance needs.

And with the Fedora-arm testing I do, I have a pile of uSD cards.  I am using F29 as a source of openssl 1.1.1 for my EDDSA pki testing (https://github.com/rgmhtt/draft-moskowitz-ed25519-pki).

I need to finish this up before I work on my mailserver.

And 1.1.1 is a requirement for TLS 1.3, so I hope when it goes live, you port it to C7!
