Hi, So my rock64 is running Arch on a 64G eMMC ( Self built uboot / dtc's ) since there was no guide / install path back then )), most likely you have to dd uboot/boot loader manually try the arch install guide steps to do that. I would imagine Fedora would be good for SBC;s as they very much keep up with current kernels which is always a pet peeve with .deb based distro's. Anyway here is some info from my unit, Linux archrock 5.3.8-2-ARCH #1 SMP Sun Nov 3 14:59:20 UTC 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux Module Size Used by xt_CT 16384 1 xt_helper 16384 1 nf_conntrack_ftp 28672 1 nf_log_ipv4 16384 46 nf_log_common 16384 1 nf_log_ipv4 ip6table_raw 16384 0 ip6table_mangle 16384 0 ip6table_nat 16384 0 iptable_nat 16384 1 nf_nat 53248 2 ip6table_nat,iptable_nat xt_TCPMSS 16384 2 xt_LOG 20480 46 ipt_REJECT 16384 0 iptable_raw 16384 1 iptable_mangle 16384 0 xt_multiport 20480 0 xt_state 16384 0 xt_limit 16384 47 xt_conntrack 16384 10 nf_conntrack 176128 6 xt_conntrack,nf_nat,xt_state,xt_helper,nf_conntrack_ftp,xt_CT nf_defrag_ipv6 24576 1 nf_conntrack nf_defrag_ipv4 16384 1 nf_conntrack ip6table_filter 16384 1 ip6_tables 28672 4 ip6table_filter,ip6table_raw,ip6table_nat,ip6table_mangle iptable_filter 16384 1 bpfilter 24576 0 snd_soc_hdmi_codec 20480 0 rc_cec 16384 0 dw_hdmi_i2s_audio 16384 0 dw_hdmi_cec 16384 0 realtek 20480 1 snd_soc_audio_graph_card 24576 0 snd_soc_simple_card_utils 28672 1 snd_soc_audio_graph_card gpio_ir_recv 16384 0 dwmac_rk 28672 0 stmmac_platform 24576 1 dwmac_rk stmmac 192512 2 stmmac_platform,dwmac_rk rockchipdrm 143360 0 phylink 36864 1 stmmac analogix_dp 49152 1 rockchipdrm dw_mipi_dsi 20480 1 rockchipdrm dw_hdmi 45056 2 dw_hdmi_i2s_audio,rockchipdrm cec 65536 2 dw_hdmi_cec,dw_hdmi snd_soc_rk3328 16384 0 rc_core 57344 5 rc_cec,gpio_ir_recv,cec drm_kms_helper 208896 4 dw_mipi_dsi,rockchipdrm,dw_hdmi,analogix_dp rtc_rk808 20480 1 lima 49152 0 gpu_sched 36864 1 lima drm 561152 8 gpu_sched,drm_kms_helper,dw_mipi_dsi,lima,rockchipdrm,dw_hdmi,analogix_dp dw_wdt 16384 0 rockchip_thermal 28672 0 drm_panel_orientation_quirks 20480 1 drm syscopyarea 16384 1 drm_kms_helper sysfillrect 16384 1 drm_kms_helper sysimgblt 16384 1 drm_kms_helper fb_sys_fops 16384 1 drm_kms_helper snd_soc_rockchip_i2s 16384 0 snd_soc_rockchip_pcm 16384 1 snd_soc_rockchip_i2s snd_soc_rockchip_spdif 16384 0 By all accounts things should just work these days, hope this helps Nige On Sat, Nov 9, 2019 at 4:10 AM Benson Muite <benson_muite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On 11/9/19 10:44 AM, agharta agharta wrote: > > Hi Benson, > Yes, i've successfully installed CentOs 7, take a look at this link https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCK64_Software_Release#CentOS-7_Community_Build_Image_.5BmicroSD_Boot.5D > > But CentOs 7 does not support PHP 7x for aarch64: i need to install nextcloud.... and PHP 7+ is required. > > So, i've tried CentOs 8 stream too...but no luck.... > > Fedora 31 does support Rock64, as release notes says....so the question is simple: how to install Fedora 31 on rock64? > > Should be simple, in theory..... > > Many thanks. > Cheers, > Agharta > > Hi Agharta, > > a) If using a Fedora laptop/desktop, have you tried the ARM image installer: > > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Installation > > A number of Pine64 boards are supported, but you might use as a bass to get something for rock64 > > b) The CentOS7 version you are using seems to use a kernel from Armbian. Maybe something similar (ARMRHEL) is needed for RHEL based distributions? At the moment the contributions seem to be haphazard, and driven by immediate needs rather than a long term vision. Perhaps an ARM roadmap for RHEL would be helpful in organizing development? > > c) I have complied PHP 7 from source using GNU compilers. This was straight forward, so might be the way to go if you only need Nextcloud and do not need to many PHP extensions. When you need to update, just copy over the data directory in your Nextcloud installation. > > Benson > > > > > > > Il sab 9 nov 2019, 07:47 Benson Muite <benson_muite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ha scritto: >> >> >> On 11/7/19 11:53 AM, agharta agharta wrote: >> >> Hi Peter, >> >> Thank you for your support. >> >> >> >> Currently I'm trying to write fedora to sd card with this command: >> >> fedora-arm-image-installer --addconsole --image=Fedora-Minimal-31-1.9.aarch64.raw.xz >> >> --media=/dev/sdd --resizefs >> >> >> >> So, at the end the tool tells me: >> >> >> >> = No U-boot will be written. >> >> = No console listed for Mystery Board, adding default ttyS0,115200 . >> >> >> >> = Installation Complete!
