Good day all,
Please join us today (October 15th, 2012) at 12pm EDT in #fedora-arm on Freenode for
another Fedora ARM VFAD!
You can greatly assist us by selecting an area of interest and helping to document your
results on the Fedora
Project wiki.
1) We have a number of Fedora 18 TC1 images up for testing including - Pandaboard,
Trimslice and vexpress (QEMU).
Please find testing instructions here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Quality_Assurance/2012-1...
2) Please help us test the latest kernels built for Fedora to ensure they work as
expected with your device.
Kernels can be found in Koji:
http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=3547
Once tested please record your results here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Quality_Assurance/Kernel...
3) As we have discussed in our weekly meetings, device tree will be a requirement in our
near future. We would
like to start preparing by testing with the 3.6 kernel. Please record your results
here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Quality_Assurance/Device...
Any help is appreciated and we look forward to your participation. If your device is not
listed but you would like
to offer your assistance, please let us know on the list or the IRC.
Thanks!
Paul
Hello.
Made good progress today. :)
Was able to get Device Tree to work on both Panda ES and Trimslice.
What works: appended DTB kernels. (cat the .dtb to the end of the
zimage, then generate a new uImage)
What does NOT work: loading the .dtb from u-boot (similar to the initrd)
One notable breakthrough was being able to boot the trimslice with the
latest version of u-boot.
(had to change boot.cmd to have root=/dev/mmcblk0p3)
For the panda it would seem not all the parts of omap kernel are moved
over to DT, some things do not work.
Thanks to all those that participated!
