what do i have to do to enable spi on fedora 27 on a raspberry pi
by adpdyj+4aw13di0ccx1w＠sharklasers.com 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

to quote the fedoraproject wiki on the raspberry pi: Are Device Tree Overlays supported? There's basic support for overlays in u-boot and the linux kernel but an overlay manager isn't yet upstream. There's (sic) Is GPIO supported? GPIO isn't supported well as they need to be mapped with Device Tree overlays. This will be improved in the F-27 cycle, and in Fedora 28. Is SPI supported? Yes, basic SPI is supported. Is I2C supported? Yes, basic I2C is supported. by default, i know that i2c is functional since i added an rtc and added a simple udev rule to make it work, however, spi isn't that simple i have an enc28j60 wired to the gpio in hopes of having a secondary ethernet interface, i know it's wired correctly since i downloaded raspbian and added the appropriate overlay magic to config.txt and it automatically registers as eth1 on fedora, a simple modprobe spidev or modprobe spi-bcm2835{,aux} doesn't seem to populate /dev/ with any spidev* i even grafted all of the fedora kernel patches (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel.git) onto the raspberry pi kernel (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git, rpi-4.15.y), built it (make olddefconfig), installed it, did all that funny mkimage crap, booted off it (raspberries instead of penguins (everything else still worked)), and still no functional spi i think this implies that between raspbian and fedora there's a specific CONFIG_ option in the kernel i need to add, but i don't know what one (ones?) it would be any help would be appreciated ---- Sent using Sharklasers.com Block or report abuse: https://www.sharklasers.com//abuse/?a=QFN5JQEJUKAGxgix9HENcwTVQsCV0cMeyLZF

Fedora 27 on Banana Pi M64
by Jan Pazdziora 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hello, I've got Banana Pi M64 on which I am able to run 2017-08-14-ubuntu-16.04-mate-desktop-beta-aarch64-bpi-m64-sd-emmc.img from http://www.banana-pi.org/m64-download.html reasonably well, except for failing WiFi connections to hidden SSID networks and for kodi being unbearably slow, even the UI and mouse movements. So seeing Ubuntu MATE not failing completely, I thought I'd give Fedora a try. I've used Fedora-Minimal-27-1.6.aarch64.raw.xz Upon boot I see U-Boot (?) output and EFI lines and then row of Tuxes and initial boot messages but then my TV goes blank. At no point during the boot (like grub interface) do I have USB (mouse, keyboard) working. When I add the dtb symlink to workaround https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1528575 I see wired networking and DHCP working. Upgrading kernel seems to break the wired networking https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1528593 but with all the other packages from updates upgraded, the board still works including wired networking and DHCP. The initial-setup.service seems to be looping during the boot and it seems to also affect dnf operations so I've disabled it. Is there any opinion about how well can Banana Pi M64 be supported by Fedora at this point, given that the board seems fine under Ubuntu MATE but that might include some non-OSS bits that we might not want in Fedora. Specifically missing at this point seems to be USB support, console after boot, and WiFi networking. Is there anything which might be useful to try? -- Jan Pazdziora Senior Principal Software Engineer, OpenShift Security Team, Red Hat

High load with kernel 4.15 on OdroidH1
by arm_ml＠rirasoft.de 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Hi there, I've done a fresh installation of Fedora 27 (Fedora-Server-armhfp-27-1.6-sda.raw.xz) on my Odroid H1. With Kernel 4.13.9-300.fc27.armv7hl from this Image the load after boot is nearly 0 without any service running. After Update to actual kernel 4.15.4-300.fc27.armv7hl the load reach up to 4,12. Is the behavour normal? No services are running, no other modifications, boot from SD-Card.

Fedora 27 does not boot
by Alexander Chernov 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Hi, I've been trying to install Fedora 27 to Raspberry Pi2, Raspberry Pi3, and Orange Pi Plus 2 without any success. Generally, the kernel boots then service initialization starts, but does not complete. For example, the latest attempt at booting Fedora 27 Server on Orange Pi Plus 2 stopped at the following: [ OK ] Reached target Basic System. Starting Initial Setup configuration program... [ OK ] Started Hardware RNG Entropy Gatherer Daemon. Starting OpenSSH rsa Server Key Generation... Starting ABRT Automated Bug Reporting Tool... Starting GSSAPI Proxy Daemon... Starting Authorization Manager... Starting OpenSSH ecdsa Server Key Generation... Starting System Security Services Daemon... Starting NTP client/server... Starting OpenSSH ed25519 Server Key Generation... Starting System Logging Service... [ OK ] Started Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology (SMART) Daemon. [ OK ] Started D-Bus System Message Bus. [ OK ] Started irqbalance daemon. [ OK ] Started System Logging Service. ... and nothing more on serial console. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Alexander

Sorry about not transmitting to the list previously. I hadn't noticed till you just pointed it out. My bad!!! Okay. My follow-up.

The system boots but not into graphical mode. Also, note the orange highlighted lines from dracut. I will try to get the dmesg | fpaste output once I get the system on the network. Is there a particular URL you would like me to specify? Also, one other question. Is there anything from partition 1 (which seems to be strictly for Raspberry PIs) necessary to build and boot the system for other systems like the Odroid? More specifically, should I be able to build and boot the system using ONLY partitions 2,3,and 4? Thanks again.

F27 grubaa64.efi pxe boot with Mustang drops to grub> prompt
by Chris Tatman 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Hey All, Sorry if I have missed this someplace obvious. But I am trying to test a pxe install on a Mustang (xgene-1) board with F27 using the grubaa64.efi acquired from here: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/27/Server/aarch64… After being handed off this file from my dhcp server, the system drops down into a 'grub>' shell awaiting my input. But if I then replace the F27 grubaa64.efi file with the known good grubaa64.efi from RHEL-alt-7.4, the system boots as normal and loads my grub.cfg menu and I am allowed to choose an install option: ------------------------ Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux for ARM 7.4 GA Install Fedora 27 Use the and keys to change the selection. Press 'e' to edit the selected item, or 'c' for a command prompt. The selected entry will be started automatically in 2s. --------------------------- However, as you can imagine, this does not work if I select the Fedora 27 install. It halts and tells me I need to load the correct kernel: -------------- error: invalid magic number. error: you need to load the kernel first. ----------- This I assume is b/c I am using the incorrect grubaa64.efi to hand off to the F27 install kernel. So, is this a bug in the F27 grubaa64.efi? I have a pxe server that has been working for me with UEFI systems for a couple years now. All I normally do to test a a new OS is swap out the grubaa64.efi as I have done here. But, I admit that my experience is with different versions of RHEL and cetos. This is my first time doing this with Fedora. Thanks in advance for any tips!

Re: Exactly how slow is Fedora 27 on an RP3 ? dnf update takes hours ?
by linux guy 17 Feb '18

17 Feb '18

I removed the suspect SD card from the RPi3 and tested it in my laptop. # hdparm -Tt /dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk0: Timing cached reads: 15750 MB in 2.00 seconds = 7893.74 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 88 MB in 3.05 seconds = 28.82 MB/sec <--- This was 365 kB/sec in the RPi3. It seems to test OK in the laptop. Bad connection in the RPi3 ? So I prepared a second class 10 SD card with the same image. I tested it in the laptop that I used to prepare it. # hdparm -Tt /dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk0: Timing cached reads: 15908 MB in 2.00 seconds = 7973.32 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 54 MB in 3.05 seconds = 17.71 MB/sec The second SD is actually slower to read than the first one, in the laptop. 28.82 versus 17.71 MB/sec I booted the 2nd SD card in the RPi3. # hdparm -Tt /dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk0: Timing cached reads: 816 MB in 2.00 seconds 408.21 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 66 MB in 3.03 seconds = 21.81 MB/sec <--- Faster than it was in the laptop ! #time dnf update - install 32 packages, update 275, just like last time I ran #time dnf update and stopped it at 47 packages. real: 30m46.181s user: 0.00s sys: 0m.020s I retested the SD card and got the same read speeds as above.

The 4.15 kernel rebase on stable releases
by Peter Robinson 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

Hi All, Just a heads up that the 4.15 kernel is headed to stable releases. I did a bunch of testing over the weekend and fixed up a bunch of issues, added some minor enhancements across a number of platforms. There is a kernel-4.15.2-301.fc27 build [1] which had all those fixes for people to test, I expect a 4.15.3 kernel going to updates-testing later today or tomorrow. A few notes for the fixes I added: * fixed cpufreq/thermal on i.MX6 (thanks kwizart for upstream fix) * Crypto/rng engine on some AllWinner devices now loads/works (A10/A143/A20 at least, I suspect more will come with later kernels) * Exynos 5 USB-3 issue should now be fixed once and for all (I hope) * A bunch of improvements for monitor detection on the Raspberry Pi * Ethernet driver more stable on AllWInner A64/H5 platforms (like Pine64) * Numerous other upstream fixes improvements that headed upstream * 4.15.3 (not in the build above) will include aarch64 fixes for Spectre/Meltdown. So please test and feel free to reply to this thread with any new issues you see with the 4.15 series, or any positive results. [1] https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=24966088

GCC offers a generic tuning option for Arm these days, but we select -mtune=cortex-8a instead. Is this still a good choice? Thanks, Florian
