Yes, it's one, there's a bunch of others, the kernel now should be
mostly upstream, it's on my list (it's very long) to enable this and
test it. We also need to be able to use u-boot so that we can do
standard kernel upgrades/rollbacks as well as deal with the fact the
firmware needs a VFAT partition without having to have the confusion
and QA of twice the amount of images produced
What do we miss, besides this BZ, to get Fedora running on the Rappberry Pi 2?
With also Eric Anholt's new VC4 driver[1], that should get us closer
and closer from a fully-supportable Pi 2.
If needed, I just received a bunch of Pi 2 (5 of them), that I'll be
happy to use to test, either within Red Hat premises, or from my
personal internet connection.
That way, we could have Fedora-based Ceph or Gluster (or Hadoop)
demonstrators. Which wouldn't need the VC4 driver anyway.
Regards,
J.
