Hi,

I'm not sure if it will help, but I had a lot of problems booting Fedora on the PineBook Pro that were solved by switching to tow-boot instead of u-boot. RockPro64 is on their list of supported devices.

Just another question: How do I get the Fedora spi image onto the device? As I found on the internet, the description at https://nullr0ute.com/2021/05/fedora-on-the-pinebook-pro/ for the Pinebook doesn’t work for the RockPro64. And indeed, it still does not. In another thread was noted that you are about to update the documentation to describe the process for RockPro64. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find it in my internet researches.
The process is the same as the PBP you just have to adjust the names
so for example "sudo spi-flashing-disk --target=rockpro64-rk3399
--media=/dev/XXX". I have has reports from a number of people it works
just fine.

I can confirm that this works just fine. I have 2 RockPro64's running Fedora 37 here and using u-boot on SPI from there.
It did some experimentation and internet search that took its time.

For me, it doesn’t work, unfortunately.

I get:

Any idea what I might have missed?

I noticed that a booted F37 shows no SPI storage, only mSD mmcblk0. When I boot the Armbian included in the board delivery, lsblk additionally shows a mtd 0, size 16m.

I found an SPI flash at https://github.com/sigmaris/u-boot/releases/download/v2021.04-rockpro64-ci/flash_spi.img.gz

The SPI storage was written with it and the board does boot from it. However, Fedora cannot be booted with it, a lack of an EFI partition is complained about and the file system is not recognized.

Any help appreciated.


@Dennis Gilmore
  It reminds me I should document how I built a Fedora based NAS with 10 drives using a RockPro64. It is not the most performant but suits me
I would appreciate that, too. And just in case that you used Fedora Server, I would like to publish it as part of the Fedora Server documentation (). I can help with the technical part. I'm making an effort to give more consideration to SBCs right now.
