Revision as of 18:16, 6 September 2013

Lately, I got a shiny new Wandboard Quad into my fingers, and it's "enabled hardware" on Fedora 20. I took a TC4 test build from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5896895:

wget http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/6895/5896895/Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-20-Alpha-TC4-sda.raw.xz
xzcat Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-20-Alpha-TC4-sda.raw.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4M
sudo sync

Sadly, it's not bootable by default, we need to write a bootblock. From the package uboot-wandboard_quad, we'll take the file /usr/share/uboot-imx6quad/u-boot.imx

and dd it to the sdcard:

sudo dd if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k seek=1
sudo sync

Place the flattened Device Tree Blob in the correct location from the boot filesystem:

mkdir dtb
cp dtb-3.11.0-3.fc20.armv7hl/imx6q-wandboard.dtb dtb/.

Currently, the image creation has a known bug: extlinux.conf is missing, though we create one by hand and write it to /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf on the sdcard: :

# extlinux.conf generated by anaconda

ui menu.c32

menu autoboot Welcome to Fedora. Automatic boot in # second{,s}. Press a key for options.
menu title Fedora Boot Options.
menu hidden

timeout 60
#totaltimeout 9000

label Fedora (3.11.0-3.fc20.armv7hl) 20 (Null)
	kernel /vmlinuz-3.11.0-3.fc20.armv7hl

	fdt /dtb/imx6q-wandboard.dtb
	initrd /initramfs-3.11.0-3.fc20.armv7hl.img


Finally, we'd need to update the UUID of the root partition:

sudo blkid -ovalue -sUUID /dev/mmcblk0p3

The above will report the name of the partition and the UUID, which we'd need to insert to the kernel append line in extlinux.conf Also ensure the same UUID is in the /etc/fstab of the rootfs.


Now you are ready to boot, follow these steps

  • Insert the micro SDCard to the card reader on the EDM system module (directly below the heat sink).
    • There are two micro SDcard slots, the Freescale EDM system-on-module board, and the carrier board.
