Details on Raspberry Pi 5 support timelines
by Peter Robinson 06 Jan '25

06 Jan '25

Hi Folks, I finally got some time over the weekend to dig into Fedora on the RPi5. The TL;DR is that there won't be any way of even basic support officially for F-40 GA. For those interested in more details..... The main pieces missing from the upstream kernel to boot to a login prompt over serial is appear to be the following: * The SoC pinctrl driver * Support in the mmc storage driver for the SoC variant * Minor bits for the gpio driver I'm not aware of any efforts to get anything upstream, I've not seen patches on lists etc. We have the firmware (bcm/u-boot) pieces in place in Fedora 40 and the kernel will start to boot and you get serial console output except you end up at a dracut prompt due to lack of storage. I am considering doing a Fedora kernel with patches in copr, and probably a F-40 remix minimal image, to enable minimal boot so other low level developers can use it as a basis for further investigation for things like upstream development. I don't have a timeline for this yet but I suspect late April. At the moment this looks like it'll be mSD, WiFi, serial console support and not much else. I've not looked at PCIe, the RP1 chip, or any other peripherals at all. I'll reply to this thread if/when I have any further updates, feel free to reference it elsewhere. Until there's either a kernel or kernel+image unless you can contribute to upstream kernel pieces there's probably nothing that can be done like "testing". If you can do kernel and would like to assist me feel free to reachout outside of this thread. Peter

Fedora on ROCK 5 Model B
by Andreas Reschke 08 Apr '24

Hello, I've installed Fedora 40 Rawhide on my Rock 5 Short howto: What you need: 1) https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588/releases/download/v0.9.1/rock-5… dd this Image on a SD-Card 2) https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everythin… dd this Image on a USB stick Put both in your Rock 5B and boot. I've done the Net-install installation with KDE Wayland. The SD-Card with UEFI is needed for booting. Questions: 1. GPU: root@rockpi5:~# inxi -Gx Graphics: Message:No PCI device data found.

2024-03-25 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 40 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 24 Mar '24

# F40 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2024-03-25 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.… Hi folks! It's time for another blocker review meeting. We have 3 proposed blockers for Final. Here is a handy link which should show you the meeting time in your local time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+40+Blocker… The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing. If you have time today, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!** We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F40 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good day and see you tomorrow!

Raspberri Pi Zero 2 W fails to boot Fedora 39
by Aleksandar Kostadinov 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

Hello, Booting Fedora 39 on Raspberri Pi Zero 2 W freezes after the line "Exiting boot services.." I setup the card with arm-image-installer-4.1 like: > sudo arm-image-installer --image=Fedora-Server-39-1.5.aarch64.raw.xz --media=/dev/sda --resizefs --relabel --showboot --sysrq --target=rpi02w The options `--resizefs --relabel --showboot --sysrq` don't matter, I mean with or without them the system freezes at boot. And this seems to be a regression because flashing Fedora-Server-37-1.7.aarch64.raw.xz does successfully boot the system /although I can't yet get the setup right to access it with no keyboard access to the device/ Is this a known issue and is there any way to fix that? Thank you.
