This in my testing is not working unless i add console=ttySO,115200 to the 
bootargs I get nothing out at all on the serial port, though in u-boot it had 
stdin as serial and stdout as vga.  what are all the possible options and how 
should things just work? the current patch is not a regression for Fedora.  I 
want to make things just work for all.

We should patch all boards to be the same. but it needs to work.

Clive,

Fedora ARM has never paid lip service to any platform. We have always taken 
the harder/longer road by ensuring that we get things upstream and use what is 
upstream.  We were the first distro to adopt a multi-platform kernel and to 
adopt devicetree ,  why because it was the right things, it did mean that 
things were a bit rough as things were hashed out and fixed. but in the long 
term it is the right things for Fedora as well as all other distros. we have 
the Pi 2 enabled in rawhide's u-boot and will be enabling the kernel support 
as it gets upstream.  where all distros can easily support it and have things 
working.  I am not sure what you mean by bootable overlay support. Hardware 
Vendors are getting much better about having their systems supported upstream 
than they used to be because they see a value proposition in doing so. A big 
part of that is because of the work we have done in Fedora. Is it perfect? no, 
but it is much better and getting better all the time.   There is no reason we 
will not support all the hardware in the Pi, but it is going to take people 
getting the support upstream.  saying we will pay lip server is very rude and 
disrespectful.

I am sure we can, there is a bunch of arm images up there already,  we would 
just need to do it. I am not 100% sure how to do so.

Is there a defined console environment variable? 

assuming that your u-boot is configured correctly you can replace ext2load or 
ext4load with load. ext4load is actually an alias for ext2load. It's all using 
the same code paths under the hood. two suggestions from me. move the kernel 
to somewhere higher, perhaps the decompressor is clobbering the uncompressed 
kernel as it decompresses. make sure that the console is set right. then next 
thing would be to look at the dtb.

Without a battery backed RTC its really not that useful.  Picture 6 or 10 
months after a release, does it matter if the time is half a year to a year 
off or 35 years off? 

I am just trying to understand what problem you think this solves. chronyd or 
timesyncd should fix up the time as soon as you get a network connection.

Every arm device I have used has a rtc, but a very large number of them have 
no battery. some have two rtc devices and teh battery backed one ends up on 
/dev/rtc1

chronyd in my use has always set the time correctly as soon as it has a 
working network connection.

any attempt to set the time based on something in the filesystem is going to 
result in the time being off. if it is something baked in at compose or image 
creation time the drift will get bigger over time. if it is some service that 
sets it on shutdown the drift will be small. network is required to get it 
accurate.

I would really like to know the use cases where chronyd is not sufficient and 
the problems that people are trying to solve.

Sure, but is there uses for TLS without the network having come up? at which 
point chronyd would have set the time correctly.

Okay, in this case setting a time at image creation, or image installation is 
not sufficient.  There would need to be some service that saves the time on 
poweroff and restores on powerup. though there will be a short period of time 
still where in many cases the logs have the epoch  date/time l the service 
resets the time when there is no battery backed rtc.

I think that this should be an optional thing so to not interfere with battery 
backed rtc's

We want to support the hikey etc boards, support for them is still not yet 
upstream. then there is the issues that without nand, spi, etc flash for 
uefi/u-boot you get in a place where to support it you need to go a custom 
route because the standard tools will not work.

biggest issue with 96boards is the lack of upstream and standards support, 
which is ironic when they aim to be a standard. for Fedora to support systems 
they need to get support for their hardware upstream.

The lite has no nand and no ir receiver. Otherwise they are the same. I got 
one also, but so far no luck booting it with rawhide.

It is currently not possible to boot a 32 bit arm vm without an external 
kernel and initrd. I have played with having a u-boot that will work. But 
right now you would need to construct the guest to match the specs hardcoded 
into u-boot. It is a problem that needs to be solved

Thanks Dennis.  When you say you've played with u-boot, does that mean
booting with an external u-boot binary?  That would be a considerable
improvement over external kernel.

Rich.
Yes I have used u-boot as a kernel. its very rough and not really a good 
experience, at least in that you have to configure the vm the same as 
u-boot was built.

No it has been removed from fedora. it is expected that you have extlinux.conf 
support in u-boot.  What is your device? and u-boot version

we make the srpms from a git checkout on primary arches. %{?dist} is
set to whats expected inside the buildroot used to make the srpms. the
srpms we feed into secondary arches have matching fedora-release

im guessing then your talking about rhel rpms. the dist value would  be
set to whats in the srpm at its build time.

its set in the buildroot. so you have two choices. 1) make sure you set
it to match the srpms you feed in. 2) rebuild the srpms to match what
you are using.

http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=245410 has been
running 10 hours now. its inited the chroot and installing the srpm. it
is a big srpm but still. performance on the hfp builders while not
great is better. when looking at a sfp builder the mock process is
using 100% cpu and in a D state. there is one of two issues here. the
hfp builders are running a slightly older kernel. so it could be a
kernel ext3 nfs or loop device issue, upgrading a hfp builder for
testing would confirm it. or its some issue with decompresion of the
rpms. I do think that disk io on the nfs server is partly to blame. the
box sits at a load of 9 all the time with 30% or so io wait. Id like to
take a layer or 2 of the complexity out. switching over to nfsv4 we
should be able to run mock on it. im going to do some compression tests
with the latest 2.6.41.6 kernel.

further followup ive inited chroots on my pandaboard. ive used 2

so i think its pretty safe to assume that compression is working ok. so
it comes down to ext3, loopback device, kernel, or something else.

[fedora-arm] Arm repo status

2012-01-09 Thread Dennis Gilmore
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hey all,

so when we do the branched report and now the rawhide report we are
syncing the bits shortly after to the primary mirrors.

I thought i grab a few tidbits bits of data and get them out there

the arm (soft floating point) repo in koji has 15664 binary rpms in
them and 12649  of those have been built in koji, which leaves us with
3015 binary rpms coming from the moji repo.
the armhfp (hard floating point) repo in koji has 16761 binary rpms
in them and 12634 of those have been built in koji, which leaves us
with 4127 binary rpms coming from the stage4 repo.


this just means we had slightly more built in stage4 than moji. with
the last of the recent changes we are building faster than we ever
have, we also do not have all the builders up so we are looking to be
in good shape to follow primary arch into f17.  biggest issue is to get
the gcc builds completed. 

Dennis

[1] i got the numbers from
http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=251177 which was
the most recent f15 repo when composing this email.

[fedora-arm] supported hardware

2012-01-21 Thread Dennis Gilmore
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

i think we need to come up with a list of supported hardware.
something like https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards and
http://www.linaro.org/low-cost-development-boards/ i think we should
support the linaro boards if the make sense. in addition we should
support raspberry pi and trimslice and of course the olpc XO.  while
we can not ship binary blobs etc for video. we should work to make the
experience the best possible.

I think that what we likely need to do is to ship something that is a
disk image. a sparsified file say 2 or 4g that we setup with MLO
installed first, a vfat first partition. and a / partition.  that we
can just dd onto a sdcard. then extend the filesystem to the size of
the disk. this way things like a guruplug, panda etc just work.  

for a trimslice we likely want to a anaconda install image that can be
booted and will run anaconda. 

in the first case we should have a minimal install, XFCE, gnome, KDE,
LXDE, and SoaS at the least.  anaconda can follow later. we could
always boot the live sdcards on a trimslice or a smartop/smartbook
where you have the possibility of running anaconda. as well as future
server class hardware. its something that needs o be on the road map.
but doesnt need to be now.  Im not sure that we should ship just
tarballs of root filesystems. a card deployment tool could use qemu and
yum to install the right kernel for the system onto a sdcard. once we
have dd'ed on the drive. 

What im getting at is we need to have a packaged format like a disk
image, something that is simple to deploy. isos do not really make any
sense for ARM, but we should have live images, install images, etc.

[fedora-arm] f17 status

2012-02-18 Thread Dennis Gilmore
Hi all,

I ran Dan Horák's koji-compare.py script from
http://fedora.danny.cz/tmp/koji-compare.py against arm koji for f17 we
got at the end
statistics: {'older': 1979, 'local_only': 11, 'remote_only': 1428,
'same': 7873, 'newer': 37, 'total_missing_builds': 6014}

the older builds are things that we have an older build of, local_only
are arm only builds, remote_only are things we dont have built in arm
koji but are built on primary,  same is where the nvr we have matches
primary, newer means our nvr is newer than primary, and the
total_missing_builds is the count of all builds missing which means if
there are 4 newer builds of libfoo on primary we count that 4 times.

[fedora-arm] heavybuilders

2012-02-27 Thread Dennis Gilmore
Hey all,

Id like to propose that we setup the heavybuilders to only be the
trimslices.  just because the local sata disk on the usb bus is faster
than the shared scratch storage. packages build quicker on the
trimslices since there is much less sontention to the storage and we do
have enough of them.

It would mean they are no longer heavybuilders. we could then drop the

if a package is FTBFS for resons like usrmove or not ported for gcc-4.7
or just does not compile then file in bugzilla with patches prefered.
if its an issue that its just not building because we dont have the deps
built yet you just need to be patient, of course if you are a fedora
proven packager just fix it and build it on primary, then submit it as
an update.

Re: [fedora-arm] ARM and shipping of various binary firmware / boot bits

2012-03-08 Thread Dennis Gilmore
Yes. Without the code we can not boot the machines. While we could in theory 
build the bits. Vendors only support the compiled bits they ship. We would 
likely need to pull in patches from the different vendors trees.

So, the existing firmware exception is tightly worded, it says:

"The files must be necessary for the functionality of open source code
being included in Fedora."

I'm not sure this BIOS/FW code actually meets that criteria, can you
make that case?

while a bit ugly 
http://ausil.us/packages/x-loader-1-1.fc15.src.rpm
http://ausil.us/packages/x-loader.spec

and a binary compiled version 
http://ausil.us/packages/x-loader-1-1.fc15.armv7hl.rpm

ive not yet tested that the built versions will actually load uboot to
boot a system

it builds and packages up the MLO x-load.bin x-load.bin.ift for the
supported boards from the git tree at
git://gitorious.org/x-loader/x-loader.git

two of the boards failed to build. likely this will need a little work
still and we probably only want to build the beagle and panda board
versions since they are hardware we intend to support.

But the raspberry pi is a different beast and will likely need the
board to grant an exception.

also a quick hack on the uboot-tools spec to have it just build a
panda board uboot

http://ausil.us/packages/uboot-panda-2011.03-1.fc18.src.rpm
http://ausil.us/packages/uboot-panda.spec

and a scratch build of it 
http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=578299

realistically we only need to build uboot for the dev boards where they
cheaped out and did not install some kind of nvflash storage to boot
from

so in these packages i put everything into %{_datadir}/%{name}/

im envisioning then that the the compose tool would make a empty vfat
filesystem at the start of its rawdisk image that the deployment tool
can populate. so something like 

Partition table on image:
msdos label
part 1: 256mb vfat at start of disk (created by compose tool but empty)
part 2: rest of 2gb space all packages get installed here, including
all the kernels we install

the deployment tool can then copy the right MLO if its needed sync it,
then copy u-boot.bin run mkimage on the kernel and intramfs, and write
out boot.scr onto the vfat partition,  while many devices support ext3
for booting vfat is the most generic and universally supported. we
could even not format the boot partition that fstab would actually
mount at /boot/uboot/ then if the target device supports ext3 we could
use that instead and setup fstab appropriately there really is no need
for a separate /boot thats not going to be used for booting.  if we
make a 2gb raw disk image, in essence its the same as a livecd but can
be dd'd onto a sdcard and just boot the filesystem can be resized to
use the whole of the card. we can sparsify it and ship it compressed. 

mkimage can be run anywhere. and it doesnt need to mess with the rpmdb
on the image.  we could setup something to set a flag and remove the
unused kernels from the image on firstboot. maybe also automatically
resize the / filesystem. or add swap to the end of the partition also. 

i see this as a way we can ship something easily consumed that can be
supported by the dev boards, and other targets like the plugs where you
really dont want to or its not really feasable to run a t

Hey Jon,

on a guruplug you need to edit the values stored in nvram you can do it
two ways, 1) interupting the boot process and  using printenv setenv
editenv saveenv  to get set and save the variables.
 there is a utility in uboot-tools that should let you edit it from the
 running system

What does readelf show about the objects. I suspect that they are not
compiled for hardware floating point so for F17 you will need to either
get hardware floating point versions or use a armv5tel build where they
require skype

does strace give anything useful?

[fedora-arm] Soliciting Infrastructure feedback on Fedora ARM primary arch proposal

2012-03-22 Thread Dennis Gilmore
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi everybody.

This Monday FESCo did an initial review of the ARM team's ARM PA Feature 
proposal.  As part of that review, they requested we get in touch with 
affected groups including Infrastructure. What we need is to get
feedback on what's been written and what still needs to be written as
it pertains to Infrastructure.  I know we have had some brief
discussions already but id like to get everything together in one place
to make sure we capture all of the requirements from infra, and that we
have a workable, scalable, manageable solution. I do realise some of
its a bit hard right now as we are not 100% sure how the hardware will
look and work in practice. 

The feature page in question is:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraARM

As you might have already ready on devel@, this is a work in 
progress and has some known deficits.  We'll keep updating it based on
the feedback we receive until we have a plan that works for all the
stakeholders.  If you have some feedback that you haven't already
shared on devel@, or that you want to share again because it's really
important and infra related please reply to this message and let us
know.

Thanks!

- From my point of view, we need to be able to  take the same inputs,
into the same tools and get the expected outputs. 

So for things like a livesdcard image  we would feed the same spins
kickastart into media-creator and get the raw disk image out,  I really
dont see us making a dvd install equivalant image.  but i do see us
making a boot.iso equivalant. as well as install trees for network
installs. mash today does the right things. 

we need to be able to make the images in koji like we do on x86. we
need a very clear definition of what releng will deliver for QA to
test. Right now i think thats the biggest thing missing, today arm is
producing repos and adhock creating root filesystems. the tooling to
make a delievrable product needs to happen and we need to make sure we
are very clear on what we are delivering and how we deliver it.

i think we should only make the image 2 gb  using domething like "dd
if=/dev/zero of/raw/disk bs=1M count=2048" cound could be 2000 also
then it should work everywhere.

there is gnome 3.4.0 in testing on primary now  there is a change it
will get pushed to stable for beta on monday if not its probably 2
weeks away.  What we need to do is come up with a set of F17 beta
deliverables and work really hard in the next 2 weeks to deliver a F17
Beta.

when spacewalk propperly supports arm it should be possible at some
point down the road.  spacewalk uses koan and cobbler for provisioning.
they would need to have arm support.  but that is different from making
live images or fedora install media.  there we will use the standard
tools used to create fedora.

all the virtio modules are built.  they get inherited from the generic

that list is packages that we have built on arm in the past but the
current version on pa is not built on arm for some reason. 

there is another list
http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/status/koji-missing-packages.cgi that
are packages never built on arm. some of those are
ExcludeArch/ExclusiveArch that is set to not build on arm

As i see it for ga release we need to have the 85 older builds built at
the same or newer nvr as primary. we need to have a working kernel on
pandaboard, ideally that includes working omapdrm. all blocker bugs
resolved and qa test matrices to be complete.

please update koji-compare.py to the version from releng git as i asked
days ago on irc. this really does not give a true representation of the

It should be doable,  aboot that android devices use is different to
uboot. on my ac100 ive had troubles getting an initrd loaded. i get
errors about the initramfs being corrupted. its also space constrained
so you have to make a host specific initramfs to fit in the 8mb limits
it places on kernel and initramfs. you could possibly also just use the
android kernel though im not sure if that is sufficient. I know KDE has
been working on a touch interface, pretty sure gnome has also. I do
expect at some point soon we will see tablet spins show up for arm and
x86.

no it will be sfp only 

we build our armhfp rpms for armv7  which means they wont run on the
raspberry pi as it is armv6 while armv6 has a floating point unit it is
also not compatable. armv6 has a v2 vfp and armv7 has a v3 vfp.  to
build a compatable hfp distro we would need to recompile everything and
have a 3rd set of base arches,  its really not a very practical option.

other than the pi the only other devices that are v6 are phones and the
via APC. while i expect there will be quite a few pis out there  its
not likely to be a long term sustainable port.

well if omap is supposed to pull in omap_hsmmc then its likely a kernel
bug. but if what we really need to modprobe is omap_hsmmc  and it is
supposed to also pull in omap then its a dracut but.  I added to dracut
most of the kernel modules i thought we needed in the initramfs its
quite likely some are missing.

I have enabled PL011 and disabled some of the options you had disabled
but the patch wenta  bit far to be applied wholesale. for one we do not
build ext3 at all. we build ext4 with support for ext2 and ext3.

we use omapdrm not omapfb so none of those options will have any
effect. its all auto detected and auto setup. if the edid data is not
read from the monitor you will get 1024x768 only. ive not tried the 3.5
based kernels as im not at home where i have access to a monitor. 

you shouldn't use  the xpfa repo there is no need Fedora 17 will update
and work just fine with whats in Fedora 17. you could try switching
which port you plug the monitor into. you would also need to look at
the output of dmesg to see what is happening.

you should just do "modprobe omapdrm" not insmod the .ko as it takes
care of its deps.

do a lsinitrd on the initramfs file in /boot and make sure that it has
the omapdrm module in it.

not that it will explain everything but Debian ships uboot for the
kirkwood devices and add features not found in the stock uboot. ext2
support being one of them which is why /boot is vfat we support the
stock uboot and only ship uboot where we have to preferring instead that
the vendors be responsible for supporting and supplying uboot binaries.
we are still evolving the image creation process. in f17 it was a shell
script that used yum. we are moving to use kickstarts and anaconda via
livemedia-creator

NFS is not sufficient. it does not support file capabilites. using
recent operating systems you are unable to init a chroot onto nfs since
glibc and many other core os components switched over to using file
capabilits. but this chatter is all off topic on the fedora arm list.

Gordon I am considering moderating your posts to this list. they have
all been off topic to the list, which is Fedora ARM. there are other
lists to talk about your own agenda.

Fedora images are to have selinux enforcing. thats what really should
be tested. likely its anaconda thats setting it to enforcing.

does it work using the fedora built kernel and uboot? there should be
no need to self build either.

It is doable and works fine. we have setup rpm and yum to disallow it to
ensure that people do not accidently install sfp and hfp into the same
system because we do not support multilib with hfp and sfp. 

its more a case of trying to make sure people dont shoot themselves in
the foot. if your setting up a chroot on android you should grab a
rootfs tarball and away you go.

We will need to have a Fedora/ tree for the highbank install images, to
make that correctly we need to use pungi not lorax directly, but there
is not yet support in pungi for arm. im working on a pungi update
today, I will try add arm support.

Lets make sure we get patches into fedora packages before we get a new
gcc in rawhide and end up with a mass rebuild.

Please dont reply all, I get the mail via the list there is no need to
CC me on it as well. 

biggest patches that we will need afaik are autoconf/automake files. we
also need to make sure redhat-rpm-config and rpm have support.  there
is a lot more that just glibc/gcc/binutils that will beed patching.

thanks for being really rude and disrespectful. it breaks my filtering
since i dont get the mail from the list server but rather directly. It
is not at all the common netiquette that is in use on fedora lists
where you just reply to list.

Maybe in other communities its considered normal. but I for one find it
offensive  especially when i ask please don't do this and someone does
exactly that.

appending the dtb seems to work fine for a pandaboard, i've never
personally had a pandaboard boot when loading the dtb separately

[fedora-arm] arm software floating point support going forward

2013-01-25 Thread Dennis Gilmore
Hi all,

I wanted to kick off a discussion, I think that with the work that
Seneca is doing for armv6hl to support the Raspberry Pi most of the
need for building sfp has gone away. I would like us to drop support
for sfp in F19 that means that anyone running a kirkwood based system
would get supported software updates for approximately 13 months from
now. with cubie boards and other devices coming around that are cheap
and more powerful and similar options I think there is little benefit
to continuing to support sfp.

Ive put in a request to get numbers of people using the arm and armhfp
portions of mirrormanager to get some idea of the number of users out
there, though i suspect most arm are raspberry pi and people building
in mock.

since there has been no major objection i will disable building
armv5tel rpms in rawhide before the mass rebuild.

That is a legacy function that seneca ran to support what was done when
marvell was active in developing fedora arm. none of those releases
have been supported in 2 years. Please upgrade to a supported release.

[fedora-arm] supporting boot configuration for 32 bit arm

2013-02-27 Thread Dennis Gilmore
after talking at devconf with David Cantrell about the best way to
support setting up uboot on arm devices in anaconda, the best approach
going forward is pretty clear, ill get to it in a bit first i want to
describe things as I see them.

Unified kernel while solving many issues introduces some. platform
detection was kinda simple with separate kernels. unified kernel means
that while we dont need to worry about having the right kernel, we do
need to worry about loading the right dtb.

platform detection is also needed to know where in ram we should load
the kernel and offsets for initramfs and dtb to be loaded. anaconda can
tell us the filesystem and device that we are installing to, but
depending on the exact way support is done in uboot we may need to put
in different values, SCSI vs SATA vs USB etc  we also need to ensure we
use the right dtb file.  for instance a pandaboard ES can use a
pandaboard dtb but will be 1ghz vs the 1.2ghz its capable of. some
systems like the highbank ones have the dtb in their uboot. while
others need to load an external file.

so as i see it we need a library that anaconda can import and use to
work out the right values for the system we are installing to. probably
the library should write out the uboot template and run mkconfig on
it. we could then reuse the library in a tool to say setup a boot
sdcard to run the installer on a system. we have an issue where it is
really not possible to make the equivilent of a boot.iso that will be
bootable everywhere.

I think we should take this up to the cross distro list at linaro and
ideally have the distros work on a database at the least of platforms
and the values and types needed. if not the whole library that can be
used in different places to set things up.

this is only needed for 32 bit arm, 64 bit will have UEFI, ACPI and
grub2. potentially we also want to consider if we can implement
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec since we
need to implement something anyway.

I say we need the list of packages effected. then we can evaluate how
critical it is that we take action.

Talking with the X guys they run autoreconf in %build so all of their packages 
are false positives.

you can not mix and match hard and soft floating point so rpm wont
allow you to install sfp rpms on a hfp system so you cant init a softfp
chroot. its plain not a supported thing.  you will need to use a softfp
image to build softfp

[fedora-arm] F19 Alpha RC5 compose

2013-05-09 Thread Dennis Gilmore
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

there is a Release Candidate compose for Alpha at
http://armpkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/stage/19-Alpha-RC5/

there is a install tree as well as a image, the image is a minimal
install. it has all 3 kernels installed, kernel, kernel-lpae, and
kernel-tegra. to install to a sdcard run xzcat  >  it
does not have boot.scr setup

as an example to boot on a trimslice you would put something like 

setenv bootargs cma=64M root=LABEL=_/ ro rhgb console=ttyS0,115200
ext2load mmc 0:1 588 vmlinuz-3.9.0-301.fc19.armv7hl.tegra
ext2load mmc 0:1 408 uImage-3.9.0-301.fc19.armv7hl.tegra
ext2load mmc 0:1 400
dtb-3.9.0-301.fc19.armv7hl.tegra/tegra20-trimslice.dtb
bootz 408 588 400

in a boot.scr.in file in the first partition then run "mkimage -A arm
- -O linux -a 0 -e 0 -T script -C none -n "Fedora Boot Script" -d
boot.scr.in boot.scr"

i have tested it on a trimslice

some follow up, chrony is not installed so time may be off,  root's
password is empty. right now initial-setup is not running so you need
to log in at a console and setup a passwd for root and create user
