Description

I wanted to try out the support for Allwinner SoCs on an Olimex A20-OLinuXino-MICRO board using u-boot-sunxi from https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi. The dtb for this board is included in the Fedora rawhide ARM images I used. Unfortunately, after u-boot's "Starting kernel ..." message, the board hangs. It also doesn't get registered in my network although it's connected to ethernet, so the problem seems to be more than just missing console output. This is unless I build my own kernel using sunxi_defconfig: this way I could at least get to "Welcome to Fedora 21 (Rawhide) dracut-037-11.git20140402.fc21 (Initramfs)!", but ran into problems when it came to loading kernel modules. So here's my question: What is your testing setup? Which version of u-boot do you use, and are there any specific F21 ARM images that you were able to boot on an Olimex Allwinner board? This is a feature enhancement BZ not the place to ask for specific board support, please take the question to the mailing list. This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 Accepted Changes Freeze Deadline is on 2014-07-08 [1]. At this point, all accepted Changes should be substantially complete, and testable. Additionally, if a change is to be enabled by default, it must be so enabled at Change Freeze. This bug should be set to the MODIFIED state to indicate that it achieved completeness. Status will be provided to FESCo right after the deadline. If, for any reasons, your Change is not in required state, let me know and we will try to find solution. For Changes you decide to cancel/move to the next release, please use the NEW status and set needinfo on me and it will be acted upon. In case of any questions, don't hesitate to ask Wrangler (jreznik). Thank you. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/21/Schedule The necessary kernel and uboot changes are available in rawhide now, moving to modified. This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 Change Checkpoint: 100% Code Complete Deadline (Former Accepted Changes 100% Complete) is on 2014-10-14 [1]. All Accepted Changes has to be code complete and ready to be validated in the Beta release (optionally by Fedora QA). Required bug state at this point is ON_QA. As for several System Wide Changes, Beta Change Deadline is a point of contingency plan. All incompleted Changes will be reported to FESCo on 2014-10-15 meeting. In case of any questions, don't hesitate to ask Wrangler (jreznik). [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/21/Schedule u-boot and the kernel in F-21 now both support Allwinner devices, moving to ON_QA. uboot-tools-2014.10-1.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/uboot-tools-2014.10-1.fc21 Moved back to ON_QA - I prefer not to use Changes tracking bugs as bug fixed in Bodhi.

You may want to add a note that, unlike in the remix, video (hdmi) output is not supported yet and that people should use a serial console instead. Thank you for your feedback, Hans. I have followed your suggestion and added a note about there being no HDMI support yet. https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/docs/release-notes.git/tree/en-US/ARM.xml (In reply to Simon Clark from comment #15) > Thank you for your feedback, Hans.
