Hi Agharta,
I used an earlier Fedora release on Banana pro (after first using Fedora
combined with a different kernel). It worked ok, but took a bit of time
for the Arm image to support Banana pro.

Hi Benson
a) Yes, but I can't specify Rock64 as --target parameter.
/"A number of Pine64 boards are supported, but you might use as a bass
to get something for rock64" /Can You explain me how? Is it possibile
without manual recompilation, etc...? (see why in b) and c) )/

There was a message earlier on the list that support had been added for
rock 64. Thus you might be able to take the configuration for Pine64 and
modify that for Rock 64, though can also wait. After installing the arm
image installer, as indicated at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Installation in a
terminal I can type
$ls /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/
to get a listing of supported boards. Typing
$more /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/pinebook
gives settings for Pinebook, which are
# write uboot
echo "= Writing sunxi-spl.bin for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/sunxi-spl.bin of=$MEDIA bs=8k
seek=1; sync
echo "= Writing u-boot FIT image for $TARGET ...."
dd if=$PREFIX/usr/share/uboot/$TARGET/u-boot.itb of=$MEDIA bs=8k seek=5;
sync; sleep 5
# set console for allwinner
SYSCON=ttyS0,115200
The commands for pine_h64, pine64_plus and pine64-lts are the same, so
you might try these for your Rock 64.
b) Yes, an Armbian kernel....but I'd like to use a
'standard' kernel.
Ok.
c) Yes, is possibile, but i still prefer a community delivered rpm
(and maintained).
Noted. Thanks for using and reporting where work is still required.
Sorry cannot be much more help at present.
Thanks again for Your support.
Best regards,
Agharta
