Hi IoT Testers,

Tomorrow will be the Fedora 39 Go/No-Go (26 October 2023). Currently, there are several Raspberry Pi-related blockers that will be up for consideration at the meeting. There is a plan to attempt to get sufficient testing on an RC that was spun up several hours ago, and then vote to ship this as F39 with a notice that RPi is not supported at launch and that users should not upgrade from F38 until the issue is fixed. Because of the widespread use of RPi hardware in IoT and ARM testing however, and these bugs affecting the ability of users to test with the RPi, the F39 ARM version specifically is lacking in test results.

I am reaching out to the IoT list in the hope that some of you might have ARM hardware *other than* RPi that could be used to help fill in the test matrix [0]. This could be the Jetson Nano, Odroid XU4, or any other ARM board that can boot F39 ARM and help with testing. You can find a list of other supported hardware here: [1].

This approach is a bit unorthodox, but the commonalities between Fedora IoT and Fedora ARM are such that some of the IoT users might have ARM hardware laying around that could be used for testing. Your test results will help us ship F39 without slipping again!

Thanks everyone!
