How to add new hardware support for CentOS
How to add new hardware support for CentOS
Hello folks,
We have a new arm64 board. Our device driver is all on upstream linux mainline.
We know that RHEL is the upstream project of CentOS.
We also notice that CentOS contains mvpp2 driver patches which RHEL does not contain.
My question is how to make CentOS support our new board bypass RHEL like mvpp2.

The aarch64 architecture does not use the standard CentOS 3.10 kernel, it's using kernel-4.14.119-200.el7.aarch64.rpm. I do not believe this kernel comes from upstream in RHEL.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Re: How to add new hardware support for CentOS
Hi Xinlian, you may have better luck asking over at dpdk.org. It's a bit of a niche product and the only advice I can give is to try building it from source. I believe a .spec file is included if you need an rpm.

aarch64 is a supported CentOS arch.

Re: How to add new hardware support for CentOS
Hi TrevorH,
You mean CentOS has its own kernel for aarch64? Where is the git repo and how to contribute patches to this kernel? I can find the kernel you mentioned at here:
https://mirrors.aliyun.com/centos-altar ... /Packages/
But that kernel is not the one CentOS iso contains, the kernel CentOS iso contained is this one:
https://mirrors.aliyun.com/centos-altar ... arch64.rpm
Re: How to add new hardware support for CentOS
But, I want the official CentOS iso can support our new arm64 board.

Re: How to add new hardware support for CentOS
I can’t definitively say, as I really don’t know/use the CentOS internal build structure/system, but the following links might be worth looking at.
https://git.centos.org/rpms/kernel-aarc ... c7-aarch64
https://git.centos.org/rpms/kernel/tree ... rch-kernel
http://vault.centos.org/altarch/7/kerne ... SPackages/
Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Mike, regarding to c7-sig-altarch-kernel, it seems SIG altarch provides a kernel package, which using linux stable kernel.Mike_Rochefort wrote: ↑2019/06/13 08:13:52I can’t definitively say, as I really don’t know/use the CentOS internal build structure/system, but the following links might be worth looking at.
