Summary of Fedora on Odroid XU4
by arm_ml＠rirasoft.de 08 Jan '18

Summary of Fedora on Odroid XU4 1. with Kernel 4.6.5-300.fc24 system boots without failure, but update to newer kernel fails due dracut didn't build suitable intramfs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1482825 2. newer kernel works only with "cpuidle.off=1" inserted into the "append" kernel line in the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file, but all USB3 Hosts failed, no onboard ethernet 3. To boot the system from the eMMC card: A. The initramfs image file must be rebuilt. The simplest way is to: a. Boot up using the MicroSD card; b. Partition the eMMC card such that partition 1 begins on sector 3072 (Default starting sector from fdisk is 2048). There should be 4 partitions created; c. Mount the Fedora image desired to be installed on the eMMC card; d. Copy all partition data from the mounted fedora image partitions (there are 4 for Fedora 26 ARM images) to the appropriate eMMC partitions; e. Update the UUID values on what will be the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file and /etc/fstab files of the eMMC card; f. Assuming the eMMC partitions are mounted as such -- mount /dev/mmcblk1p4 /mnt mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt/boot then perform the following mounts -- mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys B. Rebuild the eMMC card's initramfs by executing the following command: chroot /mnt dracut --add-drivers='pwrseq_emmc mmc_block' /boot/initramfs-4.11.8-300.fc26.armv7hl.img 4.11.8-300.fc26.armv7hl C. Flash the boot information in the header of the eMMC card; C. Shutdown the system, then remove the MicroSD card; D. Boot up using the eMMC card. 4. If the system is to be updated using "dnf update", a new initramfs image must again be generated. This can be done using steps 1f - B. above using the new initramfs and kernel images provided by the "dnf update". ---------------------------------------------------------------- Note to the developers/maintainers of dracut: The kernel modules "pwrseq_emmc" and "mmc_block" should be included in dracut for the Odroid-XU3 and Odroid-XU4 such that the user need not have to execute this procedure each time and update to the system is performed. Is this correct and complete ? Andreas

Hi, is someone else experiencing problems? with fail2ban and systemd? Mine doesn't start the jails, client itself is running. Log says, it cannot create a separate child per jail. Roger

Cloud image question regarding command line
by Jon Masters 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Hi Folks, Any chance we can get the kernel command line for the Cloud images updated to change the explicit provision of "console=" so that the second one is "console=ttyAMA0..." and not "console=ttyS0..."? I'm not sure who owns these, so figured I'd ask here. I'm playing with F26 images under OpenStack (RDO) and they're booting fine. Couple of issues that I'll followup on separately.

Installing Updated Kernel on Raspberry Pi
by Renan Campos 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Does anyone have any instructions on how to update the Kernel on the Raspberry Pi's SD card? I tried using the instructions on the Raspberry Pi's website, but the layout for Raspbian is different from how Fedora arm is structured on the SD card.

Fedora with Odroid-XU4 and Cloudshell 2
by arm_ml＠rirasoft.de 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Hi there, I've managed to get Fedora 26 run with kernel 4.6.5-300.fc24.armv7hl on Odroid-XU4 with Cloudshell 2. The onbord RAID 1 (USB-Attached SCSI (UAS)) is working with kernel 4.6.5-300.fc24. [root@myodroid ~]# lsusb -d 152d:0561 Bus 004 Device 003: ID 152d:0561 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp. [root@myodroid ~]# Next steps to do: - move OS from SD-Card to more faster eMMC-Card. How to do it? - Kernel update to actual version. I've update Kernel to 4.11.11-300.fc26 and system boots with 8 CPU (FC24 = 5 CPU), but only the first part of kernel is booting; then it stops. - compiling modules to activate the color LCD Is there anybody who can help me with the first 2 steps ? Thanks Andreas

If you have already followed the Fedora ARM instructions to install F26, you can then upgrade it with the latest Kernel and fixes to the apps by typing "dnf -y update". I have used this successfully on my raspberry pi 2.

Backing up an mSD image via dd
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

I want to take a 'check point' in my work. It takes ~3 hours after putting an image on the mSD card to update it... So I was thinking of using: dd if=/dev/sdb of=/home/rgm/arm/F26-server-minimal.img bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror; sync But the card is 8Gb and only part is used: Disk /dev/sdb: 7.4 GiB, 7969177600 bytes, 15564800 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x337b9d3d Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdb1 2048 61439 59392 29M c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sdb2 * 61440 1060863 999424 488M 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 1060864 2060287 999424 488M 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sdb4 2060288 6942719 4882432 2.3G 82 Linux swap / Solaris How can I instruct dd to only copy to that past sector so I can later put it back to another card? thanks

We both know all the nonce cruft in TLS. We lived too many of those meetings. And if there is an ephemeral DH in there as well (depending on suite selection). Bob

Random entropy difference between F26 workstation and minimal server
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

I use: cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail To check on the amount of entropy for creating random stuff like keypairs with openssl or random nonces and keys for TLS.. I am using a Cubieboad2. With Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-26-1.5-sda.raw.xz I was seeing numbers in the 3,000. I don't have that image running right now to get an actual number. I just built a system with: Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-1.5-sda.raw.xz I am seeing numbers only in the mid 800s: [root@C2 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 866 [root@C2 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 803 [root@C2 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 828 What is different between these two images? It is the same Cubieboard. I have had to install haveged on my Centos7-arm images to get decent entropy. I have also installed rng-tools with some success, but not as much as haveged. thanks Bob
