Quick summary of the steps I took to make Fedora 27 (with a 28 kernel) work on my ODroid UX4. Thanks to Peter Robinson for his help.
Basically following the instructions from: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/XUEO322UGEQKN4RW2MJC2U6MQPVRZOYE/ - Host Fedora laptop - Install some stuff on the host: # dnf -y install minicom fedora-arm-installer uboot-images-armv7.noarch curl - Create a working directory and enter: # mkdir ~/ODroid && cd ~/ODroid - Get Fedora minimal image for ARMv7: # wget https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/Spins/armhfp/images/Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-27-1.6-sda.raw.xz - Get the hardkernel boot files # git clone [email protected]:hardkernel/u-boot.git # cd u-boot # git checkout remotes/origin/odroidxu4-v2017.05 # cd .. - Insert SDcard, make sure the partitions are not mounted. - Run fedora-arm-installer: # sudo fedora-arm-image-installer --addkey=~/.ssh/id-rsa.pub --resizefs --target=none --image=./Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-27-1.6-sda.raw.xz <http://image%3D./Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-27-1.6-sda.raw.xz> --media=/dev/sdb - Eject SD and re-insert (not sure that is really needed). Make sure filesystems are not mounted. - Write the binary boot code and u-boot: # cd u-boot/sd_fuse/ # ln -s /usr/share/uboot/odroid-xu3/u-boot.* . # sudo ./sd_fusing.sh /dev/sdb - Eject SD and re-insert - this time mount it. - Add 'cpuidle.off=1' to the kernel 'append' command line in extlinux.conf, otherwise it won't boot: go to the mount point for the __boot volume. In my case: # cd /run/media/${USERNAME}/__boot/extlinux/extlinux. conf # sudo sed -i 's/^\(.*append ro root=UUID=[0-9a-f-]\+\) *$/\1 cpuidle.off=1'/ extlinux.conf - In order to enable hardware, get 4.15(or later) kernel from the Fedora 28 tree: # cd /run/media/${USERNAME}/__/home # sudo mkdir packages && cd packages # for CURP in `curl http://mirror.nodesdirect.com/fedora//development/28/Everything/armhfp/os/Packages/k/ 2>/dev/null | grep kernel- | sed 's/.*\(kernel.*rpm\).*$/\1/'`; do echo ${CURP} ; sudo curl -o ${CURP} http://mirror.nodesdirect.com/fedora//development/28/Everything/armhfp/os/Packages/k/${CURP}; done # cd - Eject SD and put into ODroid device, boot. - Connect through minicom to serial console - Go through the initial setup menu set a root password, time zone, etc. - Login as root - Install newer kernel: # cd /home/packages # rpm -Uvh kernel-lpae-4*rpm kernel-lpae-core-4*.rpm kernel-lpae-modules-4* - Update extlinux.conf to set the new kernel as the default # cd /boot/extlinux # sed -i 's/^default=Fedora-Mini.*$/default=Fedora/' extlinux.conf - Reboot There are a couple of remaining kernel errors, but overall it works as a starting point. Also for me "fedora-arm-image-installer --target=none" creates a partition with Raspi boot files. If that is not intended I should file a BZ on that I guess. Regards, Daniel
