|

* Post-setup changes required to select which one user should boot
|
||||
* i.e., change initramfs / kernel lines to -v8 in config.txt / config-kernel.txt
|
||||
* https://chat.rockylinux.org/rocky-linux/pl/e7h9sqcb4pdnpqpwah3wcjxjac
|
||||
* Neil and Sherif spoke to risc-v folks at FOSDEM/SOOCon24
|
||||
* No exact timeline, but hoping to get leads on hardware to use
|
||||
|
||||
## Open Floor
|
||||
|
||||
* Stack: the wiki looks abandoned because the index page is empty/stubbed
|
||||
|
||||
## Action Items
|
||||
|
||||
* Follow up on Orange Pi5
|
||||
* Follow up on Libre boards
|
||||
* Create variant for 16k kernel
|
||||
* Kernel Packer for altarch
|
||||
* Actually put content on wiki index/landing page so it doesn't look abandoned

# SIG/AltArch meeting 2024-02-23
|
||||
|
||||
## Attendees
|
||||
|
||||
* Neil Hanlon
|
||||
* Sherif Nagy
|
||||
* Brian Clemens
|
||||
* Stack
|
||||
* Alan Sill
|
||||
|
||||
## Follow Ups
|
||||
|
||||
* SBC Support - We're close on a lot of the boards we aim to support (Orange Pi, Libre boards, Rock Pro, RPi5, etc)
|
||||
* Raspberry Pi5
|
||||
* Needs 16k kernel variant
|
||||
* arm-trusted-firmware in staging for 8 and 9
|
||||
* please test, adds support for some SBCs we target
|
||||
* RISC-V - Communications ongoing with RISC-V foundation for firmware
|
||||
* What else do we want aside from what they may be able to give us?
|
||||
|
||||
## Open Floor
|
||||
|
||||
* Alan has Turing Pi boards to run his Pis--would be nice to be able to test these
|
||||
* Jeff Geerling did a video recently on Turing Pi cluster board
|
||||
* "little clusters" -- just shared NFS, works ok. needs to be NVME because of i/o thrashing, though
|
||||
* Stack: there has been a lot of interest in SBCs in Rocky the past few months
|
||||
* Would be good to have a plan to convert interested parties to contributors
|
||||
* we have a lot of SBC $$$ to spend on HW for folks
|
||||
* Roadmap & Status -- What do we support, who supports it, what works/doesn't work
|
||||
* https://git.resf.org/testing/SBC-progress-tracking
|
||||
* Risc-V
|
||||
* Alan has [Lichee Pi 4a](https://wiki.sipeed.com/hardware/en/lichee/th1520/lc4a/lc4a.html) | https://sipeed.com/licheepi4a
|
||||
* Should we include non-altarch (x86_64) SBCs in our list of what works?
|
||||
* They work out of the box (for the most part), so, let's just include them
|
||||
* https://radxa.com/products/x/x2l/#techspec - GPIO via a Pico
|
||||
* Alan wants to get this running under Rocky at some point
|
||||
* also looking at https://www.mixtile.com/cluster-box/
|
||||
* Stack: Grace Hopper?
|
||||
* seems to be only debian from NVidia
|
||||
* Brian: Yoshi (CIQ) may have a contact that knows more information about Grace Hopper and Rocky
|
||||
* Sherif: Intel GPU update
|
||||
* Met with them through HPC SIG (Jeremy)
|
||||
* DKMS version first for testing
|
||||
* Later: signed for secureboot and installable as kmod package (kernel SIG)
|
||||
* User tools in HPC SIG
|
||||
* NVIDIA -- maybe we can talk to them after we show this working well, collaborate
|
||||
* Needs legal review and sign-off from NVIDIA
|
||||
* many questions about this... e.g. How can we trust signing a proprietary blob for SB signing?
|
||||
* Stack's SBC tower: https://52pi.com/products/52pi-rack-tower-acrylic-cluster-case-for-raspberry-pi-12-layer?_pos=21&_sid=39b8f5ea0&_ss=r
|
||||
|
||||
## Action Items
|
||||
|
||||
* Neil to reach out to Equinix regarding arm hw for altarch
|
||||
* Neil to reply to RV folks
|
||||
* Neil to look into wiki content population
|
||||
* Neil to file ticket to investigate kernel packer to repack upstream RPi kernel
|
||||
* Neil to work on SBC Kernel variant config in KernelPacker
|
||||
* Sherif to work on Raspberry Pi kernel variants
