Hi ARM folks,
It came to my attention today that the Quick Docs say that Raspberry Pi 4 is supported[1], but the Wiki page[2] says it's not. I assume the Quick Docs edit is incorrect, but I wanted to make sure before I start making changes.
If there's a reason I *shouldn't* remove RPi 4 from the Quick Docs page, please let me know on list or in https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/quick-docs/issue/441
(Note that this could also impact the blocker status[3] of RHBZ 2053729)

Thanks, BC

That is correct, it "mostly works" but there is no accelerated graphics and there's a few other key bits missing which means it's not yet supported.

Can we also delete the FAQ section as well and just direct them to the wiki, I have no idea who added this but I don't ever remember being consulted.

I agree that should be a blocker, the network the non desktop side of things is basically supported. There's also a fix that the kernel term were planning on pulling in with 5.17.2 so we already have a fix ready for that.

Okay, I'll put together a PR when I'm back from an appointment and share here to make sure I'm not saying anything objectionable.

We could. My preference would be to remove the content from the wiki page and point to docs.fp.o as the single source, but I agree that having it twice is worse than not having it in some ways. If the consensus of the ARM SIG is to keep this content in the wiki, I'll remove the FAQ from the Quick Docs and point to the wiki page.
Thanks, BC

I'm not against it if whoever created it will actually commit to engaging with the arm SIG to maintain it, I for one don't even know where the git repo is or who I have to bother when it's wrong, which as the maintainer I find it extremely annoying that I have no idea who it is.

Is there a list of what is considered supported or not? I'm using a Pi4 headless, so not having accelerated graphics doesn't affect me, but there have been other issues (SD card and GPIO/PPS for me).

I took the list from the wiki page and added a note that calls out the current state of the Pi 4. Happy to make changes if anything is wrong.

The Docs team curates the Quick Docs, although a lot of the content is of the drive-by contribution variety. The team was...largely theoretical for a while, but it's coming to life again, which should help with coordination. In any case, on each docs page, there are icons in the upper right that will show you the revision history, page source, and link to file a bug in the appropriate repo.
I'm happy to drop in on tomorrow's ARM SIG meeting to discuss it.
Thanks, BC
