U-Boot testing request - 2023.10 series
by Peter Robinson 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

Hi Folks, The 2023.10 RC series are now landing in F-39 and rawhide. There's been the beginnings of a few enhancements. The first one that is noticeable is a bootmenu during the firmware init process where it will allow you to select the device/partition you wish to boot from, with the default selected and the usual time out. It should make things a little easier for things like reinstalling off a USB stick for devices that support that sort of install. I've done some testing across a bunch of devices, various RPi, the Pinebook pro and numerous SBCs so I think it should work just fine, at least be no different than the usual process but I'd like to hear any feedback. Regards, Peter

PCIe slot on Raspberry Pi CM4
by James Clark 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

I am trying to connect an i210-T1 to the PCIe slot on a Raspberry Pi CM4 with the official IO board. The problem is it won't boot. I tried this in Fedora 38 initially. Now I've installed a recent nightly (Fedora-Server-39-20230828.n.0.aarch64.raw.xz) and I've connected a USB TTL adapter. It appears to be a U-Boot problem. I get the following over and over again U-Boot 2023.10-rc3 (Aug 21 2023 - 00:00:00 +0000) DRAM: 992 MiB (effective 7.9 GiB) RPI Compute Module 4 (0xd03141) Core: 212 devices, 16 uclasses, devicetree: board MMC: mmcnr@7e300000: 1, mmc@7e340000: 0 Loading Environment from FAT...

Raspberry Pi CM4 experience report
by James Clark 03 Sep '23

03 Sep '23

I have spent some time trying to get Fedora 38 working nicely on the Raspberry Pi CM4 and I have written a guide based on my experience. https://github.com/jclark/rpi-cm4-ptp-guide/blob/main/fedora.md https://github.com/jclark/rpi-cm4-ptp-guide/blob/main/chrony.md The background here is that the CM4 is unique amongst SBCs in having hardware PTP support that includes PPS input. I wrote a guide to how to take advantage of this based on Raspberry Pi OS and LinuxPTP. It is also possible to take advantage of this hardware PTP support for NTP by using chrony's support for PPS input via the PTP hardware clock and for NTP-over-PTP hardware timestamping; this allows NTP to approach PTP levels of accuracy. So my initial goal was to get this working, so that the CM4 can be used as a state-of-the-art NTP server with Fedora. It now seems to be working, although there's plenty of scope for tuning. I ran into a few problems. The biggest problem is that HDMI output doesn't work properly. It works OK in Fedora 38 in the original image, but it doesn't work after updating, and it doesn't work in a recent Fedora 39 nightly. The HDMI output works at the U-boot and Grub stage. It then says "Booting Fedora Linux (version info here)" and after a while the screen goes blank. In Fedora 38 jupdated, it stays blank. In Fedora 39 nightly, it shows some systemd lines, starting with plymouth-start.service and ending with systemd-vconsole-setup.service. The next biggest problem is this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_Pi/HATs#Deactiva… The implication of this is that if you connect a GPS to the normal TXD/RXD pins on the CM4 IO board, it doesn't boot (because U-boot treats the NMEA GPS output as input). I tried to workaround this as suggested by connecting a keyboard so I could configure U-boot to disable the serial console, but I found that USB keyboard input in U-boot didn't work. I ended up enabling an additional UART. The docs say e.g. "UART3 GPIOs 4 - 7". I assumed this meant TX was on GPIO4 and RX was on GPIO7. Eventually I figured out that it actually meant that TX,RX,CTX,RTS were on GPIOs 4,5,6,7. I suppose in retrospect it's obvious, but it would be helpful if the wiki was a little more explicit. However, this isn't a completely satisfactory workaround, because some GPS hardware explicitly designed for the Raspberry Pi doesn't allow changing what TX/RX pins are used (notably this one https://store.timebeat.app/products/gnss-raspberry-pi-cm4-module?variant=42… ). This in the wiki is incorrect The new devices will appear as /dev/ttyAMA0-4. Note that the numbering is > simply counting through the activated devices. The numbers are not linked > to any UART specifically. Only activating UART0 and UART5 will make UART5 > be available as /dev/ttyAMA1. If I enable just uart3, I get /dev/ttyAMA3. I found the Serial devices section of the wiki confusing, particularly the description of UART 0/1 Raspberry Pis up to but not including the 4-series have only one UART which > is UART0/1 (depending on which chip you use). The Raspberry Pi docs ( https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html#conf…) say there are two UARTs (a mini UART and a PL011), and I see two serial devices at the Linux level. It mentions dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt But I think the right one to use currently is simply dtoverlay=disable-bt This makes /dev/ttyAMA0 (a PL011) be connected to the TX/RX pins. Without this it's /dev/ttyS0 that's connected to the TX/RX pins (and there's a /dev/ttyAMA1). James
