Hi Benson,
I'm really new in Pagure.
So am I. It seemed ok, once uploaded an ssh key, could then use
command line git interface. Web interface seems limited compared to
Gitlab/Github, but it is better integrated with Fedora infrastructure.
Ok, I have to try it. Thanks for your feedback.
Feel free to edit and make pull request. I don't wont to make errors
or create confusions.
Git keeps history, so errors can be undone. The more people that can
add to code the better. It would be of interest to learn your thoughts
on Rock64 board. Price point seems similar to Raspberry Pi. Are you
using USB to attach an external hard drive for Nextcloud?
Price is ok, board seems too.....but there are some problems:
* in debian-like images the network hangs if rebooted. Performance is
very good.
https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCK64_Software_Release#Linux_Image_Releases
* in fedora 31 minimal have bad performance (ssh & console for example
. I need to do a cpu/sd/memory test in both OSes to create a valid
comparison)
* in debian-like images, if I connect a device to usb3 port it hangs
after a bit....I have not yet figured out if it is a hardware or
software problem....investigation is needed. In any case a ticket is
already open https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/issues/112
* in fedora usb3 does not work.....
* My final target is to boot Rock64 via sd-card and connect 2 HDD in
raid-1 mode through usb 3 (and relative hub) and store Nextcloud
data into raid-1 fs.
* My oniric target is to use that board with IP-cameras and Zoneminder
too....but for now I would be satisfied with the previous point.
Actually I am getting familiar with fedora 31 aarch64: it is quite
different form x64 version, dnf update gives me errors about protected
packages (......).
Finally, there is a file socs.d/Rockchips-ARMv8, which would fit
description for rk3328 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockchip), but
the specifications there are different than what you used. Maybe
rk3328 should be Rockchip-rk3328?
Seek values provided by socs.d/Rockchips-ARMv8 seems not working for me,
but beacuse I can't see serial console I don't know why....
In any case spl.img file is not availabe in fedora .xz build.
I have used the default seek values form main Rockchip guide:
http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Boot_option#Boot_from_SD.2FTF_Card
Some of the other files, such as socs.d/exynos5 and socs.d/st have a
few more steps than the others. Downloading spi boot binaries is not
so great in Fedora as the build process is not under Fedora control.
Not sure what the best solution is for this.
Actually Fedora can run into Rock64 IF AND ONLY IF spi boot is erased. I
think that an spi-compatibe image should be added in fedora (as debian
do). If yes, boot could be executed directy from usb disk (and raid-1
disks I hope).
It may be helpful to check the Fedora list guidelines,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines - top posting
is discouraged, though I sometimes find I do it.
Thanks for your contributions. I look forward to trying out Rock64
board in the future.
Thank you for your patience, I'll keep you informed about problems &
resolutions.
My best cheers,
Agharta
Thank you.
Best regards,
Agharta

I was waiting to see how this one went. in the meantime Arch
pushed out a 5.4.0-1 kernel,

Looks like the Lima driver got some work ( more info inside dmesg

OH GUYS! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!!!
Finally I've found the solution!
Excellent
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
It may be worth opening an issue in Pagure for this, not sure how it
should be best included in the arm installer for Fedora.
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
Made one change, put file in socs.d/rk3328 and added a softlink
from boards.d/rock64 to socs.d/rk3328
Not sure if names I choose are the most appropriate.
# 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!!!!!
Great
Benson, feel free to integrate it to Pagure, and make a new
fedora-arm-image-installer package.
Can start on this, though I do not have this board, so cannot
really test it. Let me know if you have used Pagure or Git, usually
it is good for the person who found the solution to add it to the
repository. If still want me to do it, can do so.
It seems you already forked the repository, so feel free to make
your additions there. There is a pull request at:
https://pagure.io/arm-image-installer/pull-requests
Really guys, I am very very very happy!
Have a fantastic day!!!
Agharta
