Announcing Fedora 18 Final for Allwinner A10 and A13 based devices

[Hans de Goede]

Hi All,

I'm very happy to announce the availability of Fedora 18 Finalfor
Allwinner A10 and A13 based devices. This release is based on the official
Fedora 18 Final for ARM images.

You can download it here:
http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/contrib-images/hansg

It is important to read the README, the image standard comes without
u-boot pre-loaded since u-boot is board specific. The image includes
a user-friendly simple script to install the right u-boot for
your board, but if you simply xzcat the image to an sdcard, and then
boot your device with the sdcard, things will *not* work.

Allwinnner specific changes since Fedora 18 Beta:
* Support for A13 based devices
* The list of support devices / boards has been greatly extended, a
total of 22 boards is now supported
* Many fixes to the video code, improving monitor compatibility, ie
* Composite video out fixed
* Support for Interlaced video modes
* The sound code now only registers alsa devices for the sound inputs
/ outputs which are actually present on the board, rather then for
all the devices inside the A1x soc
* Give memory reserved for the blob drivers for the GPU and video
engine back to Linux by default adding 176MiB to free memory.
If you want to use the blobs remove the relevant options from the
extra_args in uEnv.txt to turn the reservations back on
* gpio and led class support. Note that in order to use $random pin
for gpio you need to add it to the gpio_para in the fex file,
run fex2bin on the fex file, store the result as uboot/script.bin
and reboot

See the README for a list of currently supported boards.

Enjoy,

Hans


And to make sure everyone reads the README, let me print it here
in full:

Fedora 18 ARM for Allwinner A10 and A13 devices README
------------------------------------------------------

Quickstart guide
----------------

1) Insert an sdcard, note any data on the card will be destroyed!
2) Make sure the card is not mounted, run "mount" and if the card shows
up in the output umount its partitions
3) Write the img file to the card, ie as root do:
xzcat Fedora-18-a10-armhfp-r1.img.xz > /dev/mmcblk0
sync
4) The card is not yet ready for use! Since the A10 u-boot is board
specific, the image comes without any uboot install, follow the next
steps to install the right u-boot for your board
5) Remove the card, and re-insert it. The uboot partition should get
automatically mounted, if not mount it manually,
6) As root (or through sudo) run:
sh <uboot-part-mount>/select-board.sh
Note the "sh " in front is necessary because the uboot vfat partition
often gets auto-mounted noexec. ie:
sudo sh /run/media/hans/uboot/select-board.sh

If you've dialog installed the select-board.sh script will prompt for
your board. If you don't have dialog installed, it will print the list
of supported boards. Lookup your board and re-run the script with the
shortname for your board as argument, ie:
sudo sh /run/media/hans/uboot/select-board.sh mk802
7) umount the uboot and rootfs partitions, ie:
umount /run/media/hans/uboot
umount /run/media/hans/rootfs
8) Your sdcard is now ready for use
9) *Before* powering up your A10 device connect it to an hdmi or dvi monitor
10) When first booting from the sdcard inserted Fedora will automatically
reboot once, this is part of the process to resize the root partition to
fill the entire sdcard and is normal behavior.
11) After the automatic reboot Fedora will start with the firstboot wizard:
11a) Configure a user here
11b) Most A10 devices do not come with a battery backed rtc, so you will
want to enable ntp. Simply click ok in the ntp dialog. Now firstboot
will try to start ntp. Since most devices have only wireless, and
that is not configured yet at this time, click on cancel when it
tries to start ntp. If it then asks if you want to re-do your ntp
configuration choose no.
12) Log in as the just created user
13) If you need to configure wireless click on the network icon in the
top right corner (next to the clock) and select the wireless network
you want to connect to
14) Enjoy Fedora on your A10 device

Configuring the display output
------------------------------

Multiple video outputs at the same time are not supported. By default
hdmi output with EDID is used for all devices, except for tablets/netbooks
where the default output is the lcd.

The default hdmi output with EDID will get the native resolution of your
TV / monitor and use that. Note that in order for this to work your TV /
monitor must be connected *and turned on*, before booting your device.

The output resolution can be configured with the disp.screen0_output_mode
kernel cmdline value, which can be found in the extrargs part of uEnv.txt in
the uboot partition. The default uEnv.txt contains the following value:
disp.screen0_output_mode=EDID:1280x720p60

This means try to use EDID and if no valid EDID info is found fallback to
1280x720p60.

The used output can be changed by adding disp.screen0_output_type=X to the
extraargs in uEnv.txt. With X being one of: 0:none; 1:lcd; 2:tv; 3:hdmi; 4:vga

Some per display type notes:
-lcd outputs: Hardcoded to the native mode, disp.screen0_output_mode is ignored
-tv: For the cvbs output disp.screen0_output_mode must be set to one of the
following: pal, pal-svideo, ntsc, ntsc-svideo, pal-m, pal-m-svideo, pal-nc,
pal-nc-svideo. Note the -svideo variants should only be used on boards with
an svideo connector, for composite out use the regular variants, ie:
disp.screen0_output_type=2 disp.screen0_output_mode=pal
-hdmi: To override the EDID detected mode, drop the "EDID:" from the
disp.screen0_output_mode value and set it to the desired mode, ie:
disp.screen0_output_type=3 disp.screen0_output_mode=1360x768p60
-vga: Does not support EDID, "EDID:" must be removed from the
disp.screen0_output_mode value otherwise it will be ignored. interlaced
progressive and refreshrate settings specified are ignored, each resolution
has hardcoded values for these. Example usage:
disp.screen0_output_type=4 disp.screen0_output_mode=1024x768


USB controller caveats
----------------------
The OTG USB controller in host mode only supports a limited number of
devices, plugging in a hub + mouse + keyboard typically will make either
the mouse or keyboard not work. This is a hardware limitation which we
will likely not be able to work around.

On tv-sticks and top-set boxes, simply avoid the otg connector, instead
use a hub in a regular host usb connector. Note on the mini-x the otg / host
marking is not always correct. If things don't work try using the OTG
connector instead!

On tablets and the gooseberry unfortunately only the otg connector is
available. One solution there is using a single usb-device which is
both a keyboard and a mouse at the same time. IE the receiver for logitech
wireless desktop sets.


Supported hardware components / features:
-----------------------------------------

Fedora 18 ARM for Allwinner A10 supports the following components:
* CPU + PMU + RAM
* Serial ports
* MMC cards
* Internal NAND storage
* Framebuffer on lcd / vga / hdmi / composite video
* Sound both analog out and over hdmi
* OTG USB controller
* Both standard USB host controllers
* Wifi
* Wired Ethernet
* SATA
* IR (untested at this time)


Unsupported hardware components:
--------------------------------

The following components require various proprietary blobs to be used, and
as such are not supported in the Fedora images. The kernel drivers for them
are present (usually as modules), so if you add the necessary blobs you
might get these to work:
* Mali 400 GPU
* Cedar hardware video & audio decoding and encoding engine
* G2D 2d engine


Differences from stock Fedora
-----------------------------
* Since the A10 is not a very powerful soc some services which are enabled by
default on Fedora are disabled in the image, see build-image.sh for a list.
* No plymouth: we log to a serial console for debugging so no pretty splash.
Also we don't use an initrd, so removing the console=ttyS0,115200 from
the extraargs in uEnv.txt will give plymouth, but so late it hardly matters.


Rebuilding the Fedora 18 ARM for Allwinner A10 disk image
---------------------------------------------------------

Building the Fedora 18 ARM for Allwinner A10 disk image consists of 2 steps
1) Building a uboot.tar.gz and rootfs.tar.gz "overlays", this is done
bu the build-boot-root-sh script
2) Combining uboot.tar.gz and rootfs.tar.gz with an official Fedora 18
ARM panda image. The a10 image you downloaded is named the same as the panda
image used as base with panda replaced by a10, so to get the panda image
name replace a10 with panda again :) This combining is done by the
build-image.sh script

These scripts are hosted here:
https://github.com/jwrdegoede/sunxi-fedora-scripts.git

A copy of the exact versions of these scripts used to build this Fedora A10
image can be found in the scripts directory of the uboot partition, the
kernel config used during the build can be found here too.

If you want to exactly reproduce this image it is important to use the
scripts from the scripts dir of the uboot partition, as the scripts contain
GIT tags used during the build to checkout the exact versions to build.

The pre-conditions these scripts expect to be met, and the exact usage of
them is documented in comments in the top of each script.

This is GOLD!!!

I was working toward getting Sugar on this tablet.. I just hope things
should work, because koji has all the deps anyway... And the Sugar-dev
team has changes built out for the touchscreen XO in the mainstream(I
guess)
So, then yay!
Sugar-touch on cheaper devices= more kids who are computer literate!

Great work gentlemen!

I'm assuming getting Sugar on this will be trivial.. am I off the mark?
Simple yum install thanks to koji, right?
The ARM builds for the XO's are ARMv7...

Don't party too soon, you will be the first one to actually try this
on a tablet, so your milage may vary. Esp. touchscreen support could be
an issue. At a minimum you will probably need to modprobe the touchscreen
driver manually.

Hi Hans.

I've tested the image with the Olimex A13 Micro and it works fine, even it takes only 32Mb of video memory (the images i use to build use 64Mb). I like it, but I think that there are some things that can be improved:
- The desktop it uses is xfce, but it takes much memory. Lxde takes only 20Mb of memory and works like a charm.
- I tryed to install codelite (which I use to develop directly over the board - I know this is like a crime for some people, but this way is easier to me to debug my programs), but I think this is not included. I tryed 'yum install codelite'.
- Also I tryed to use guvcview to test my webcam, but again it is no included?. I tryed 'yum install guvcview'.

In spite of the 'improvements' I would do I think this image is very good.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Xfce is a much better desktop environment than LXDE - it is more polished,
easier and more pleasant to use and configure. I do not think Xfce is
RAM-heavy, and if it consumes a bit more, then it's well-justified.

Besides, the RAM consumption is only an issue for the A13 Micro with 224 MB of
usable RAM that you for some reason chose to use (and develop on??), not for
almost any A10 board existing today. MiniX, the Cubieboard, modern versions of
Mele, and even the $35 MK802 all include 1 GB of RAM.

Well, you can always do yum groupinstall lxde and switch your session to lxde, which I guess is what you've already done?

Sorry, there are not codelite packages for Fedora. Perhaps you want to contribute one? :

> - Also I tryed to use guvcview to test my webcam, but again it is no included?. I tryed 'yum install guvcview'.

guvcview requires some non-us libs, so its in rpmfusion:
http://rpmfusion.org/

I'm not sure if the default yum repo .conf file available will also work on arm, if
it does not edit it to point to:
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora-secondary/releases/18/Everything/armhfp/os/

Hi Hans,

I've trying to compile the kernel with kernel-3.4-armv7hl-sun5i.config configuration you deployed with your image but when compiling with stage/sunxi-3.4 kernel branch I get the next error:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `Hdmi_init':
/home/marine/Documentos/Olimex/kernel_3.4.29+/kernel/drivers/video/sunxi/hdmi/drv_hdmi.c:334: undefined reference to `audio_set_hdmi_func'

That is because that config enables the SUN4* sound stuff not the SUN5* sound stuff,
as it expects a unified sound tree, to fix this either use my kernel git tree:
https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/tree/stage/sunxi-3.4

Or make sure that the SUN5* sound stuff is all set to y (so buildin) in your .config

Besides, the RAM consumption is only an issue for the A13 Micro with 224 MB of
usable RAM that you for some reason chose to use (and develop on??),

We use the A13 MICRO for industrial applications. It is small, fast and relayable.
We develop on them because this way we stress the platform and we can
see the problems when they happen and know better what we are using.
 

not for
almost any A10 board existing today. MiniX, the Cubieboard, modern versions of
Mele, and even the $35 MK802 all include 1 GB of RAM.

Of course they are also great boards.

Thanks Hans, this is great stuff. However getting a nasty OOPS. I'm not sure if this is expected as you state you are not supporting mali right now.

If you want to use the blob(s) you need to remove the relevant mem_reserve arguments from the kernel cmdline
(by editing uEnv.txt in the uboot partition).

If you want to use just the mali, and not the cedar stuff, you should remove: "sunxi_fb_mem_reserve=16 sunxi_no_mali_mem_reserve"
from the cmdline.

Thanks, that worked and was pointed out in the readme. :)

Very polished. EDID works on everything I could test it on. We do have one known bad device that I will test it on next week but I suspect the fallback will handle things nicely. Will test Libv's mali and limare this afternoon but I see no reason why those wouldn't work.

Hi Rob,

my guess is that you invoked select-board.sh using the "sh" command,
instead try; "bash select-board.sh".

When bash is invoked as sh, it goes into "i-am-too-old-for-this-s**t"-mode and begins yelling at any syntax invented after the 70's to get off its lawn.

Hope that helps.

It is possible that /bin/sh is actually linked to "dash", not bash.

If a script uses bash-specific features, it's absolutely ought to have
"#!/bin/bash" in its header.

Hmm, it looks like your sh does not understand arrays. As other
people suggested try executing the script with bash, ie:

bash /run/media/uboot/select-board.sh

So touch screen does work? I haven't tried this, I just simply assumed
it wasn't working. On what would auto-detection depend? I guess that
would be FDT right?

Having said that, I noticed there was no 8192cu.ko module; is this a
licensing technical issue? Also, and this is pure my lack of
understanding, lsusb doesn't show the module at all, until I manually
load the driver (I copied it over from the internal NAND partition from
android) and then seems to work normally. Also FDT issue?

Finally, I know that it is one of the many inet97f-ii clones but
couldn't find that in the setup script. using that as parameter worked
fine (the files where happily in sun4i/inet97f-ii, so figured it had to
work).

It could, no-one has tried this yet AFAIK.

Likely in the final upstream solution the touchscreen info will be part of the device tree, yes.

There is:

[hans@shalem ~]$ ls /run/media/hans/rootfs/lib/modules/3.4.29.sun4i/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8192cu/
8192cu.ko
[hans@shalem ~]$

> lsusb doesn't show the module at all, until I manually load the driver

That is a problem with the fex-file (A10 specific board info file, like
ftd, but than a custom format), for some reason for most devices the
"usb_host_init_state" in the [usbc2] block is set to 0, which causes
the control to be disabled until you modprobe a driver.

If you edit the fex-file and set "usb_host_init_state = 1" in the
[usbc2] block and then run fex2bin on it and copy the new bin file
to uboot/script.bin this issue should be solved.

> Finally, I know that it is one of the many inet97f-ii clones but couldn't find that in the setup script. using that as parameter worked fine (the files where happily in sun4i/inet97f-ii, so figured it had to work).

Ah, bug in select-board.sh will fix.

Luckly, my module doens't work with your 3.4 kernel (it requres 3.0) and
worse, appearantly no sources for it either :S

My bad. I copied the 8192cu.ko from 3.0 to kernel/drivers/net/usb and
modprobeing of course worked. I only looked there if it was there and
figured that's why it wasn't working. Obviously the 8192cu didn't even
work to begin with (wrong module version) so it was using the correct
one all along.

Sorry for the noise :)

Yeah, i've spend 3 days cleaning up the Fex_Guide page, know way more
about fex's then I'd want to.

I'll go over my specific fex file and clean it up for my tablet and make
sure that that is enabled for USBC2

Cool; well manually supplying it as parameter was a good enough
workaround for me. I'll submit a patch for the cleaned fex in the next
day or so.

Hi,

thanks a lot for this image. It works great and is very easy to setup. I have a gooseberry and I tried so many different images but I always have a loadaverage of > 1 even at idle.
There is a process "usb-hardware-sc" that is in the D state all the time. I guess this is causing the high load. I'm not sure if the high load is really affecting the overall performance but I have heard that other people don't have this problem.

Best Regards,

The load > 1 is a known problem, which affects lots of boards, it is completely
harmless though, other then the weird load reporting everything is fine, and the
actual load is quite low.

Replace u-boot SPL with the correct version for your board.

I am looking at the options for boards sun5i from the uboot files and I don't see an option other  than the one I currently used (mk802_a10s):

mint sun5i # ls
a13_mid  a13-olinuxino  a13-olinuxinom  mk802_a10s  r7-tv-dongle  wobo-i5

Do you know which other one I should try instead of this?

I'll have more news (hopefully good news).

In the mean time you can insert a (simple, unpowered) ubs-2 hub and plug your
usb-1 devices into that, that works for me and most others.

Can you please try with the Fedora-19 image? And make sure you use select-board.sh
to install the correct, uboot etc. In the menu it presents select the mk802_a10s.

I've just tried to reproduce this problem using the F-19 image, and it shows
1G of RAM as expected for me.

Hi,
i've tried the Fedora-18-a10-armhfp-r2.img.xz on this tablet: http://smartpad.mediacomeurope.it/Prodotti/Specs.aspx?XRC=M-MP1010I
but the tablet doesn't boot. I selected the A10-mid board but i get blank screen.
Since i don't have an hdmi device, i replaced the script.bin with the one of another linux distro which works on my tablet.
With this script.bin, on the other linux distro the output is sent on the display, but with this doesn't work.
Can you help me?

I am tryin to install your Fedora build on the H6 Netbook.

To create the SD card for installation, I am running Fedora 19 386 (32-bit) in VMWare Player 6.0.0. The commands:

xzcat Fedora-18-a10-armhfp-r1.img.xz > /dev/mmcblk0
sync

run without error. When I remove and reinsert the SD card, I don't see it mount automatically, so I try to mount it manually:

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sd

To which I get the error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.

None of my disk utilities, including MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional 7.8, recognize the formatting on the card. Windows now asks me if I want to format the card, but fails to format when attempted.

What am I doing wrong? Please speak slowly and use little words - while I am an experienced embedded systems engineer, I haven't used much Berkely Unix in 25 years and used very little Linux.

I am trying to install Fedora 19 for Allwinner A10 on an H6 Netbook. I am following the instructions to create an SD card for the installation using Fedora 19 (i386) running on VMWare Player 6.0.0 running on Windows 7 (64 Bit).

These commands run without error:

xzcat Fedora-18-a10-armhfp-r1.img.xz > /dev/sdb1
sync

I remove and insert again the SD card, which does not appear to mount automatically. So I try to mount it manually:

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sd

To which I receive the error message:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.

Minitool Partition Wizard Pro 7.8 says the card has only one partition of unknown format. Windows asks if I want to format the SD card, but fails when a format is attempted.

What am I doing wrong?

How likely is the problem I’m trying to format the SD through emulation?
Have other done this successfully using VMware Player?

Please speak slowly and use small words – while I’m an experienced embedded systems developer, I am not a Linux jockey.

This sounds to me like you're using a broken sdcard, try using a different sdcard.

You want "/dev/sdb" rather than "/dev/sdb1" there. /dev/sdb is the whole
disk; /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2 etc. are the partitions inside it. Hans'
Fedora image is of a whole disk including the partition table.

(Similarly, if you had a machine where the SD card showed up as
/dev/mmcblk0, then you'd want to use that rather than the partitions
inside it which are /dev/mmcblk0p1 etc.)

You're also using an old image file there -- there are two newer
releases available:

Hi friends,
This is a great project!

I run into a similar situation, stuck at step 5 where the system cannot detect or mount the partitions. THe SD is not broken, as I managed to reformat it many times using an android cell phone.
I wonder if this process has to be done using fedora OS? cause i run all trough puppy linux.
Also, maybe my board isnt compatible? Its an A13, Yeahpad (seems to be listed as Q88 under the linux sunxi site.)

Thanks so much!

Hi,

i have installed the newest version Fedora-19-a10-armhfp-r2.img.xz on a 8GB SD-Card
from Scandisk and it hangs when the board boot. I use the A13-OLinuXino-WIFI with 7" LCD.
I installed the image a couple of times with no success.

With the former version Fedora-19-a10-armhfp-r1.img.xz and the F18 r1 + r2

i just installed fedora 19 r3 to my sdcard and i got 2 problems, wireless and touch, touch is not that much of a problem though id like to have it(i have yet to try to compile the drivers), my wireless card is an rtl8187 and i tried to insmod the .ko but i got an error (Unknown symbol in module) i dont know how to solve this but i got an output of dmesg -c which i read it can be used to help solve the problem and this is what came out http://pastebin.com/0Jh512Um

please help me im not much of a linux expert but i have learned alot just by trying to compile kernels and messing around with .ko to try and get touch and wirless on my tablet.

The tablet is an A13-MID wich i got from dx.com

Hello all, 

I’m using fedora on H6 netbook(A10, 10"), and it works well.
When I use the fedora config file and compile uImage and modules it works well on fedora, but doesn't work at all with Ubuntu.
Can anyone help on this. Do I have to disable some features ?

It says:
init: plymouth main process (48) terminated with status 127
ctp_fetch)sysconfig_para: ctp_unused

It stays there forever.

Thanks

I believe that's a known issue in the Linaro builds. It certainly was
when I was trying to run them.

Thanks,

DEAR HANS:

JUST CAME ACROSS THIS FANTASTIC GROUP AND DOWNLOADED THE LAST VERSION OF FEDORA.

I HAVE 2 CHEAP CHINESE TABLETS, BOTH 7" AND A13 BASED.

RUNNING ANDROID VERY HAPPY.

WITH THE FEDORA AND USING THE a13_mid CONFIG BOARD, BOTH TABLETS BOOTS FANTASTIC.

HOWEVER, NONE OF THEM DETECTS THE WIRELESS WI-FI INTEGRATED ADAPTER.

ANY SUGGESTION ON HOW CAN I HAVE WI-FI WORKING ON THIS TABLETS? I NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO THEM THROUGH SSH OR TELNET SO I CAN UPLOAD MY CODE AND RUN MY PROGRAMS.

THE OTG USB WORKS FINE WITH MY WIRELESS MOUSE/KEYBOARD ATTACHED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!

LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR COMMENTS.
