Fedora on Rock 5B

Hi there, I've tried to install Fedora on my Rock 5 without success. Booting with https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588/releases/download/v0.7.1/rock-5… on SD-Card and source from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everythin….

Raspberry Pi 5 support - how to contribute?
by Daniel Miranda 01 Jan '24

01 Jan '24

Hello, I've recently - and somewhat surprisingly - already got my hands into a Raspberry Pi 5. I would like to contribute to make it supported , as the Pi4 is. I have extensive Fedora experience, but not with ARM, and how the whole ecosystem works. What would be useful to get started with a test image for the Pi5? Or if that's not yet possible, what information or resources can be of use to get to that points? Thanks! Daniel M

Hi René, I've copied the Fedora arm list, please email the list or post on the Fedora forumus in the future, it allows others to reply as well as learn from replied.

The main way we support GPIO on any device in Fedora is via the gpiod character interface: /dev/gpiochip* The main userspace libaries for this is libgpiod and python3-libgpiod but anything that supports the kernel gpiod character interfaces should work. The problem with a lot of the RPi specific interfaces for GPIO is that the RPi has uses an old deprecated GPIO interface with their own custom set of patches on top. We don't support those. > The pigpio library would be a good choice in my humble opinion, but if > it is not supported, could you tell me a system package or a way for > using GPIO? > > So I tried my best to address the issue in English. > > I look forward to getting a response :) > > So have a nice day. > > Best regards > > -- > beste Grüße René Kummer >

CoreOS on NanoPC-T6 (RK3588)
by Waldemar Kornewald 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

Hi, did anyone succeed booting a FriendlyElec NanoPC-T6? Since there was some success report with Radxa Rock 5B recently, I was hoping that the NanoPC-T6 wouldn't be too different. So, I tried CoreOS 40 with EDK2 (https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588) and the Linux 6.7-rc2 rk3588-nanopc-t6 device tree placed in the ESP. While ACPI didn't want to boot at all, the device tree boot at least spits out some more logs. However, the system just abruptly disappears in the end: https://pastebin.com/zqs7nQ8L I also tried Fedora 40 (Minimal), but that runs into a CPU lockup: https://pastebin.com/aafvP6du In both cases the OS image was copied to eMMC while EDK2 was on an SD card. Any ideas why the NanoPC-T6 doesn't want to boot? Greetings, Waldemar

Re: Possible deprecation/removal of Initial Setup from Fedora
by Dennis Gilmore 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

All of the Arm disk images use initial-setup to configure the image. There would need to a concrete plan on how to manage the transition to something else.
