Hi Benson,
You helped me a lot!!!
Following Your suggestion, I've investigate over $TARGET and $MEDIA.
After writing sdcard with pine64-lts, inside usr/share/uboot/ (of sdcard) i can see rock64-rk3328 (my sbc), rockpro64-rk3399 and many other sbc not listed into arm-image-installer folder (/usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/)!!!!!!!!
So, rock64 is really supported by fedora (31, minimal, aarch64)!!!
Another interesting thing: if I create a file called rock64-rk3328 into my /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/ and set --target=rock64-rk3328, arm-image-installer executes IT!
So, next step: I've copied pine64-lts into rock64-rk3328.
One question: rock64-rk3328 folder does not have sunxi-spl.bin, but a file called idbloader.img. Should I 'dd' it insead of sunxi-spl.bin?
Following this link seems yes http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Boot_option
Seems needed to add some extra stuffs too (seek):
dd if=idbloader.img of=sdb seek=64
dd if=u-boot.itb of=sdb seek=16384
So, script become as follow:
# write uboot
echo "= Writing idbloader.img for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/sidbloader.img of=$MEDIA
bs=8k seek=64; sync
echo "= Writing u-boot FIT image for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/u-boot.itb of=$MEDIA bs=8k
seek=16384; sync; sleep 5
# set console for allwinner
SYSCON=ttyS0,115200
Tomorrow I'll try!
Thanks a lot for Your support.
Best regards,
Agharta
Hi Agharta,
I used an earlier Fedora release on Banana pro (after first using Fedora combined with a different kernel). It worked ok, but took a bit of time for the Arm image to support Banana pro.

Hi Benson
a) Yes, but I can't specify Rock64 as --target parameter.
"A number of Pine64 boards are supported, but you might use as a bass to get something for rock64" Can You explain me how? Is it possibile without manual recompilation, etc...? (see why in b) and c) )
There was a message earlier on the list that support had been added for rock 64. Thus you might be able to take the configuration for Pine64 and modify that for Rock 64, though can also wait. After installing the arm image installer, as indicated at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Installation in a terminal I can type
$ls /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/
to get a listing of supported boards. Typing
$more /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/pinebook
gives settings for Pinebook, which are
# write uboot
echo "= Writing sunxi-spl.bin for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/sunxi-spl.bin of=$MEDIA bs=8k seek=1; sync
echo "= Writing u-boot FIT image for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/u-boot.itb of=$MEDIA bs=8k seek=5; sync; sleep 5
# set console for allwinner
SYSCON=ttyS0,115200
The commands for pine_h64, pine64_plus and pine64-lts are the same, so you might try these for your Rock 64.
Ok.
b) Yes, an Armbian kernel....but I'd like to use a 'standard' kernel.
Noted. Thanks for using and reporting where work is still required. Sorry cannot be much more help at present.c) Yes, is possibile, but i still prefer a community delivered rpm (and maintained).
Thanks again for Your support.
Best regards,
Agharta

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,AghartaHi 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.

Hi Agharta,
Have you tried any other linux distributions (ideally rpm based)?

Benson
