Hi,
I have a headless cubieboard 2 running a 3.4 kernel that came with
the
board, but a Fedora rootfs already.
It's been pretty workable, but now I need to compile an OOT kernel module,
and that's a big mess with the magic 3.4 kernel. The defconfig it was built
with has gone 404, although a tarball of the sources (with different
defconfigs) exists.
So after reading the megathreads here about cubieboard 2 support working, I
went to look for a rawhide kernel package and give it a try.
However after looking at Wikis that are out of date compared to the mailing
list, and an "Arm Koji" that only has 64-bit arm binaries in the kernel
package, I have no idea where to go to get the latest armhf kernel package,
U-Boot pieces etc.
ARMv7 was promoted to a primary architecture with Fedora 20 so all
ARMv7 packages are part of mainline Fedora so you get them from the
same place as x86
I think this respin concept is not a good idea, I see rotting
one-off
"respins" including one from Feb for Cubieboard. But all I want is to
upgrade the 3.4 kernel to use a Fedora one with latest upstream pieces. My
fedora rootfs is already in good shape.
Use F-21 or rawhide images, the process is outlined here [1]
What steps should someone in this situation take to align themselves
with
latest armv7 hf kernel and boot-related pieces that will work on Cubieboard
2?
Kernel is upstream. We don't currently have a uboot that supports the
Cubieboard 2 but that will come as part of the uboot 2014.10-rc2
release that should be in Fedora in 3-4 weeks.
