Raw Blame History

SIG/AltArch meeting 2024-01-26

Attendees

Neil Hanlon
Bryan (codedude)
Sherif Nagy

Follow Ups

Jan 2024 Uboot - Sherif completed, published 18 Jan
RPI5 - Not going great
- Fedora can't boot it either, and it's not upstream yet
- Kernel is still missing Pi5 DTB
- Armbian is working, but they're probably patching the DTB
- Skip was working on firmware, not sure of status
- Bryan has a working Kernel, but it's hacky and broken... but it works (nominally)
SBC Testing
- Testing of new Uboot underway
- Libre Tritium H5 - works fine
- Libre Le Potato - appears that Libre hasn't upstreamed their entire uboot
  - 2024 uboot, lots of NIC resets; vendor firmware doesn't do this
    - Fedora “recommends” using vendor uboot for Potato
  - Q: Do we want to recommend Le Potato but with Vendor Uboot for now?
- Rock5B/OrangePi uboot patches - not actually working right
  - thefossguy built a one-off uboot for the OrangePi using an upstream tool (which is possibly proprietary/non-free)
