Cix CD8180

Based on Cix's CD8180. The platform is Arm v9.2 with 8x Arm Cortex-A720's and 4x Cortex-A520's, between 4 and 64GB of soldered ram, a full load of peripherals one would expect on a modern machine and an EDK2 based firmware stack. In the case of the O6, that includes dual 5Gbit NICs, dual M.2, a x8 PCIe gen4 slot, onboard GPU+NPU and a complete set of ports and headers for use in a standard ATX case. For the most part, the machine behaves like a standard SystemReady machine with UEFI + ACPI (after being selected in the firmware menus). The normal Fedora install and administration guides should be used.

Other details

• Radxa's Orion O6 Product Page
• Assure that ACPI firmware tables are selected in the EDK2/firmware menu.
• AMD GPU's utilizing amdgpu.ko do work, with the caveat that they require a 6.15+ kernel
  • To make this work with a release image, modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu until 'dnf update' installs a sufficiently new kernel.
• The machine firmware can be upgraded by downloading the debian packages, decompressing them, and copying the resulting EFI image directory to /boot/EFI/, systemctl reboot --firmware-setup, selecting UEFI shell from the firmware boot menu and then running the update process as documented by Radxa. It is strongly recommended to run whatever firmware is the latest available for the time being. As of this writing 0.3.0-1 works well. `dmidecode -t 0
