Thanks for the new image! I've tried to run it on my Cubieboard (1024MB)
but it fails to boot. This seems to be the same on the 1st image, sorry
I did not check that earlier :-/

There seems to be an issue with the 'spl', and maybe something more.
Attached is a capture from the serial port showing the reboot-loop that
uboot does.


Yes I made a bad mistake in r2 adding some a20 u-boot fixex at the last
moment which break booting on the a10s

The attched logs don't seem to be from this problem though, is this
with r1 ?

How are you powering the board ? Powering it on the uarrt connector (through
a usb - serial convertor) generally leads to quite unreliable operation.

Hans

Which reminds me that I meant to report my results.

The r1 remix worked, and continues to work, fine on my gooseberry. The 
r2 remix does not boot.


Any chance you could make things like the r2 kernel RPM available in a 
YUM repo or stand-alone? I looked quickly, but did not find it. Perhaps 
I did not look hard enough.

I didn't know about the command line option. This looks like the problem

  Kernel command line: console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 ro rootwait
  loglevel=5 panic=10 console=ttyS0,115200 
disp.screen0_output_mode=EDID:1280x720
p60 hdmi.audio=EDID:0 sunxi_g2d_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_ve_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_fb_me
m_reserve=20 sunxi_no_mali_mem_reserve

Might make sense to set it so that mali/cedar can load. That way
people will be able to work on them.


The idea is to give people the largest amount of free RAM possible in the 
default
config, this is esp. important for 256MB RAM boards. People who want to use 
cedar /
mali will need to do all kind of reconfiguration themselves anyways.

I'll add something about needing to tweak the kernelcmdline for this to the 
README.

Hans

Runs for me but don't do a 'yum update'. Update will make the system unbootable.


Yes, my bad the kernel package name of the base image has changed, so the
exclude I'm adding to yum.conf no longer works with F-19.

You can still use yum update like this:

yum update --exclude=kernel*

It looks like there are some other issues with release 2 too, so I will likely
do a release 3 including a fix for this.

Announcing Fedora 19 ARM remix for Allwinner SOCs release 2

2013-09-14 Thread Hans de Goede 

Hi All,

I'm very happy to announce the second release (r2) of my Fedora 19 ARM
remix images for Allwinner A10, A10s, A13 and A20 based devices. This
release is based on the official Fedora 19 Final for ARM images,
with u-boot and kernel(s) from the linux-sunxi project:
http://linux-sunxi.org/

Here is what is new in r2:

New features:
-Added support for the buttons on various olinuxino boards
-Added support for using 7 or 10 lcd module with various olinuxino boards
-Added spi support (except on A20)
-Added pwm support
-Added support for power buttons connected to an AXP152 pmic
-Improved A20 support, adding kernel support for the following pheriphals:
 -usbc0 / otg usb controller
 -nand
 -mali (*)
 -g2d (*)
 -cedar (*)
 -resistive touchscreen (sun4i-ts)
 -gpio
 -ir receiver
 -leds

*) kernel driver only, needs userspace blobs

New boards:
-Marsboard A10
-Sanei N90

Bug fixes:
-Fixed USB-1 device support (OHCI) controller on A10s / A13
-Fixed reboot being unreliable on A10s / A13
-Fixed the power button on AXP209 + A20 not working
-Fixed 6 second bootup delay when going from uboot to kernel on A20
-Fixed invalid reporting of high load on some boards

You can download it here:
http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/contrib-images/hansg/Fedora-19-a10-armhfp-r2.img.xz

sha1sum: 2c633c84d5b0c9d0f6118e9a8217395d45978d8

It is important to read the README, the image standard comes without
u-boot pre-loaded since u-boot is board specific. The image includes
a user-friendly simple script to install the right u-boot for
your board, but if you simply xzcat the image to an sdcard, and then
boot your device with the sdcard, things will *not* work.

See the README for a list of currently supported boards.

Known Issues:
-Many boards don't have an rtc (A10 and A20 have a builtin one),
 or at least no battery backup for it, resulting in the date
 + time being wrong.
-If the date is of by more then a couple of months, yum update
 won't work because certificate validation fails for the https
 connection yum tries to make. So if yum fails to get its repodata
 first check (and fix) your date
-The wifi chip on the Auxtek-T004 hdmi-stick is unsupported atm

Enjoy,

Hans


And to make sure everyone reads the README, let me print it here
in full:

Fedora 19 ARM for Allwinner A10, A10s, A13 and A20 devices README
-

Quickstart guide


1) Insert an sdcard, note any data on the card will be destroyed!
2) Make sure the card is not mounted, run mount and if the card shows
   up in the output umount its partitions
3) Write the img file to the card, ie as root do:
   xzcat Fedora-19-a10-armhfp-r2.img.xz  /dev/mmcblk0
   sync
4) The card is not yet ready for use! Since the A10 u-boot is board
   specific, the image comes without any uboot install, follow the next
   steps to install the right u-boot for your board
5) Remove the card, and re-insert it. The uboot partition should get
   automatically mounted, if not mount it manually,
6) As root (or through sudo) run: uboot-part-mount/select-board.sh, ie:
   sudo /run/media/hans/uboot/select-board.sh

   If you've dialog installed the select-board.sh script will prompt for
   your board. If you don't have dialog installed, it will print the list
   of supported boards. Lookup your board and re-run the script with the
   shortname for your board as argument, ie:
   sudo sh /run/media/hans/uboot/select-board.sh mk802
7) umount the uboot and rootfs partitions, ie:
   umount /run/media/hans/uboot
   umount /run/media/hans/rootfs
8) Your sdcard is now ready for use
9) *Before* powering up your A10 device connect it to an hdmi or dvi monitor
10) When first booting from the sdcard inserted Fedora will automatically
   reboot once, this is part of the process to resize the root partition to
   fill the entire sdcard and is normal behavior.
11) After the automatic reboot Fedora will start with the initial-setup wizard:
   11a) Configure networking, note:
* If you've an A10 board with wired ethernet and you want to use dhcp
  you don't need to do anything.
* If you've an A20 board, your ethernet may have a random mac-address,
  so if you want to configure a static ip-address and want it to stick
  across reboots, go to the ethernet-tab, select the mac-address field
  and delete its contents, so that the static ip address you're
  configuring does not get tied to the random mac-address.
   11b) Setup the time zone
   11c) Set a root password
   11d) Create a user
12) Log in as the just created user
13) Enjoy Fedora on your A10 device
