Not good....
Benson, i would contribute to Pagure..... if something works!
Actually I've found boot images of Rock64 inside fedora sdcard but I can't made them working.
Nigel, do You have a Rock64 sbc? Does Your serial console works during SPI boot?
Many thanks to both.
Cheers,
Agharta

Thanks Nigel.

Agharta, Please let us know if it works, and if so can you contribute to the Pagure repository?

Hi Benson,
No, unfortunately seems not working.
I've tried with seek (16348, 64, 512, etc). No luck.
I think the problem is related how to boot images are builded.
Should I write sidbloader.img?
Following Your link about ARMv8, i see at row 3:
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/spl.img of=$MEDIA seek=64; sync; sleep 5
But spl.img is not available in usr/share/uboot/ in my sdcard.
So, I still searching over web.
Meanwhile, did You known that serial console speed of

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
Thanks, this seems helpful.
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
Looks similar to what is at:
https://pagure.io/arm-image-installer/blob/master/f/socs.d/Rockchips-ARMv8
https://pagure.io/arm-image-installer/blob/master/f/socs.d/Rockchips-ARMv7
Might need to change seek value. I do not have that board, so cannot try this out, but hope it works. If it does work, can you contribute the script back? I believe additions are also needed here:
https://pagure.io/arm-image-installer
https://pagure.io/arm-image-installer/blob/master/f/boards.d
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.
b) Yes, an Armbian kernel....but I'd like to use a 'standard' kernel.
Ok.
c) Yes, is possibile, but i still prefer a community delivered rpm (and maintained).
Noted. Thanks for using and reporting where work is still required. Sorry cannot be much more help at present.
Thanks again for Your support.
Best regards,
Agharta
