[ 0.000000] Machine model: Pine64 Rock64
OH GUYS! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!!!
Finally I've found the solution!
So, first for all SPI flash should be ERASED: fedora aarch64 does not have spi boot images (at 2019-11-27). To erase spi follow this link: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot/releases/download/2017.09-rockchip-ayufan-1065-g95f6152134/u-boot-erase-spi-rock64.img.xz
Second, install fedora-arm-installer package, then create a new ad-hoc script; this script for rock64 that I have made works well:
File is placed into folder /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/ and named rock64-rk3328
# write uboot
echo "= Writing idbloader.img for $TARGET .... on media $MEDIA"
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/idbloader.img of=$MEDIA seek=64; sync; sleep 5
echo "= Writing u-boot FIT image for $TARGET .... on media $MEDIA"
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/u-boot.itb of=$MEDIA seek=16384; sync; sleep 5
# set console for Rockchips
SYSCON=ttyS2,115200n8
I'm not sure about SYSCON because my serial adapter does not works at 1500000 baudrate, so I can't test it. I have leaved it at default. Hope someone can test and correct it if required.

Next, download fedora aarch64 31 minimal xz image and:
arm-image-installer --image=Fedora-Minimal-31-1.9.aarch64.raw.xz --resizefs --media=/dev/THE_SD_MEDIA --target=rock64-rk3328 --addconsole (and other stuff)
Insert sd into Rock64 and power on!
Connect HDMI cable, IT WORKS AND YOU CAN BOOT (a part of it)!!!
Wait a bit (by default search for ipv6 ip).
Connect Keyboard and follow on screen setup to set root password, Timezone etc...
AT THE END ALL WORKS!!!!!
Benson, feel free to integrate it to Pagure, and make a new fedora-arm-image-installer package.
Really guys, I am very very very happy!
Have a fantastic day!!!

Interesting thing.
Following Your idea, i've dowloaded the spi boot https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot/releases/download/2017.09-rockchip-ayufan-1065-g95f6152134/u-boot-flash-spi-rock64.img.xz
After decompressing it, if I do a 'cfdisk u-boot-flash-spi-rock64.img' I can see sectors where images starts:
So, first boot image starts at sector 64, second at sector at 8192. Nice.
I need to investigate over it, to find a solution.
Thanks,
Agharta

Could you not grab the uboot and what nots from Ayufan, https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-u-boot ( perhaps build and test ), my original build ( current ) used this method..

I've searched inside usr/share/uboot/rockpro64-rk3399/ of sd-card, same chip manufacturer. FYI all series of 3399 have same content (rock960, rock-pi-4, roc, puma, orangepi, etc.. see usr/share/uboot filder). The content is here: idbloader.img spl_sd.img spl_spi.img u-boot-dtb.img u-boot-spl.bin u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb u-boot.img u-boot.itb The rock64 content is different: idbloader.img u-boot-dtb.img u-boot-spl.bin u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb u-boot.img u-boot.itb Missing files: spl_sd.img, spl_spi.img I think that the uboot build for rock64 was made only for eMMC module, not for sd card. How to known how uboot build was made? Where are the build sources?

Mmm.... as soon as I've resolved serial spi boot problem I think I can tell You why Fedora does not boot.

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.

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 Il 12/11/19 07:46, Benson Muite ha scritto: Hi Agharta, Thanks for the update. Responses below. Hope you are successful. Benson On 11/11/19 7:09 PM, agharta82@xxxxxxxxx wrote: 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.

It worked ok, but took a bit of time for the Arm image to support Banana pro. On 11/11/19 4:04 PM, agharta82@xxxxxxxxx wrote: 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.
