So assuming that F-21 will use v2014.10 that should put us in
pretty good shape wrt sunxi support. I would like to make sure
that Fedora can use upstream u-boot as-is. AFAIK we still need
to do some work wrt unified distro support / config_distro_defaults.h
e.g. I think we need to specify the dts file name for each board
config somewhere for thinks to work ootb, correct ?
Good news, I've done the work for the generic-distro support stuff
to just work OOTB, and all the necessary changes have just landed
in the u-boot master branch upstream. So if we go with the v2014.10
release then from the sunxi pov everything which we will need will
just be there.
That sounds like great news. Does that include video support? - I am thinking HDMI on an Allwinner A10 MK802ii device where I cannot use a serial console to support/check boot.
No sunxi u-boot video support is not yet upstream, and even if it
where then we would still need some kernel patches to use simplefb
on top of it.
So how problematic might it be trying to run headless but without the serial console to troubleshoot through the boot process?
That is going to be quite tricky. Your best bet would be to first get things to work on another device with serial console, using an usb ethernet adapter
(I've no idea if the usb wifi in the mk802ii will work), and then update
u-boot (and only uboot) to the one for the mk802ii and move the sdcard
over.

Regards,

Hans


Anyone able to help out with an image successfully booting on say a Cubietruck so I might edit it with the a10 uboot?

Thanks

Rob
