Hi all,
I have a pinebook (running anarsoul's arch mainline[1]) and I was wondering if someone has tried Fedora 29 on the pinebook, or if it is even supported.
I've seen pine64-lts is[2], and I've been trying to create a build[3] based on some scripts on the pine64 discord channel but so far I have no idea on what I'm doing :)
Thanks!

Hi,

I don't know what you mean by "anarsoul's arch mainline" as there's there appears to be bits there that aren't upstream in "mainline".
On Fedora 29 the pinebook will boot and run but you need to be using the serial console which is accessible via the headphone jack, it doens't make it overly usable as a laptop though.
This is improved with the current rawhide (which will become Fedora 30) in that the ATF/U-Boot firmware there will properly light up the display so you can get text based console output.
I've seen pine64-lts is[2], and I've been trying to create a build[3] based on some scripts on the pine64 discord channel but so far I have no idea on what I'm doing :)
So if you used the 2019.01 U-Boot build and updated the F-29 image to at least the 4.20.x kernel you should have the basics of a working device. If you're not sure what your doing I would actually use a Fedora-30/Rawhide image.
The 4.20 kernel with the above U-Boot should light up the display properly, it won't be accelerated though. The WiFi should work with the next F-29 kernel update, but the 5.0 kernel will bring a number of other improvements such as battery/charging support/monitoring and sound as well as better backlight control and a number of other features.
While Fedora 30 won't be perfect it should ultimately be relatively usable with a desktop such as XFCE or Mate

Hi,
I was curious which version did you get? I got mine a couple of weeks ago, which is a 11' one with 1080p display. According to some discussion with Icenowy (one of the linux-sunxi community contributor) the dtb of 1080 display version seems not fully upstream (at least at that time).

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the information. I do confirm the U-Boot of 2019.01 boots on mine. And just a note, the arm-image-installer do not have pinebook(yet) listed in the supported boards, so I need to write the U-Boot manually.
I don't have luck with my serial connection before. But I will try again this week with the newest Rawhide and see.

We don't tend to update these until the U-Boot with the support lands in a stable release, or at least Beta, you can basically just create a sym link to make it work: ln -s /usr/share/arm-image-installer/socs.d/AllWinner-A64 /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/pinebook
I don't have luck with my serial connection before. But I will try again this week with the newest Rawhide and see.
I'm aware of people using the serial cable with them for a couple of Fedora releases.

so long as you toggle the switch inside the pinebook the serial console will just work.

I admit I never read that chapter carefully...
Now I got the console access for my 11' Pinebook 1080p, and a working machine with console access only. The display shows until somewhere around the 4s in kernel log. Then the display got black.
The console log is available at https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/EOCMI2i54UGoZTr~25gAdA
While the USB device info is https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/7fmGskvzl1iZ4c3ENYnpVA
I also tried to use the dtb from AOSC OS with Fedora Rawhide, the display goes beyond 4s but it failed to mount the / so I did not go any further.
I feel I need to wait for the device tree of 1080p version to be upstreamed.
