Hi there,
I remember asking about the PandaBoard ES on this list +two years ago, if I'm not mistaken, and from the replies I've got at the time, I had the impression some bits were still missing and others were not 100%.. But, I could be wrong...
So, I'm curious, two years later anyone running current Fedora/ARM on a PandaBoard? Does everything work now? (built-in WiFi?).
I do not care much about its useless GPU with closed driver and no accelleration support from FOSS drivers, so spare that part ;)... I wanted to use it as DNS/Cache and maybe WiFi monitoring...
Thanks, FC

We're mostly pretty good right now. Mine is running F-24 Alpha XFCE without issue conntected to a TV with audio via HDMI.

I have mine connected to wired ethernet but the wifi comes up in a "ip l" list and with kernel 4.5 and the firmware that ships with F-24 it's not going through the firmware crashing issue that it use to for me so it looks better than I've ever seen it.

For XFCE it works fine in that regard, not far but sufficient. HDMI audio works, not tested analog out/in but I plan to test the later shortly for the project i have for it. I know the GPIO user button isn't working but I know the general issue there and when I get a moment I'll finish the patch I have to make that work. I've not looked at bluetooth.
Overall on F-24 XFCE I've found it very stable for my usecase.
Would be nice to know if Apple are purchasing / assimilate Imagination Tech, that way we would know if an open driver for PowerVR would be still viable.
I have 2 Pandaboards on differing distro's and from what I have found, the GPU is the only completely free show stopper.
Just my 2c's
