Hi, > for a while now i have been struggling to create a set of steps to make a > successfully bootable fedora 28 image for my odroid hc2 computers. We're in final freeze for Fedora 29 so I would suggest trying that and seeing how you get on. You can get the latest nightly here: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/29/Spins/armhfp/images > the reason for this is several, but main one is to have all gluster related > packaged available like the samba vfs modules and iscsi related packages for > gluster that is missing from the ubuntu images. > plus i prefer fedora. > > all i get is a sd card that boots but then hangs on initial setup and if i try > to work around that by disabling it then boot takes maybe 5-10 minutes at least > with failing services (probably those that depend on network) and when i > finally get to a login prompt root doesn't work > > > here is my step by step instructions so far that's not quite working: > (this is done from a fedora 28 host) > > 1: first install needed packages > dnf install arm-image-installer-2.5-1.fc28.noarch > dnf install uboot-images-armv7-2018.03-6.fc28.noarch I would install the f29 uboot-images-armv7 version here as we've moved to 2018.09 > 2: get image and install it to sd card > fedora-arm-image-installer --target=none > --image=Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-28-1.1-sda.raw.xz --resizefs --norootpass > --media=/dev/sdf --args "rd.driver.pre=ledtrig-heartbeat,xhci-plat-hcd > cpuidle.off=1 no_bL_switcher console=tty1 console=ttySAC2,115200n8" I don't believe you need "rd.driver.pre=ledtrig-heartbeat,xhci-plat-hcd" bit for F-29 but I don't have a device to test. > (sdf in this case is my sd card) > > 3: fix the missing dtb file > mkdir /tmp/sd > mount -t auto /dev/sdf2 /tmp/sd > cd /tmp/sd/dtb > ln -s exynos5422-odroidxu4.dtb exynos5422-odroidunknown.dtb > umount /tmp/sd F-29 has exynos5422-odroidhc1.dtb so that might be a closer fit. > 4: make it boot by running sd_fusing > mkdir sd_fusing; cd sd_fusing > wget > https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hardkernel/u-boot/odroidxu4-v2017.05/sd_fuse/sd_fusing.sh > \ > https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hardkernel/u-boot/odroidxu4-v2017.05/sd_fuse/bl1.bin.hardkernel > \ > https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hardkernel/u-boot/odroidxu4-v2017.05/sd_fuse/bl2.bin.hardkernel.720k_uboot > \ > https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hardkernel/u-boot/odroidxu4-v2017.05/sd_fuse/tzsw.bin.hardkernel > > chmod a+x sd_fusing.sh > cp /usr/share/uboot/odroid-xu3/u-boot.bin . > > ./sd_fusing.sh /dev/sdf > > > ok so now comes the problems > at this stage i have a bootable image but it gets stuck, most likely on initial > setup that never shows up. > the thing is, it is not locked up because if i plug in an usb device i get a > few lines on the serial console so kernel is still working but boot is stuck.
