Hi everyone,
I'd like to contribute with my feedback on Fedora IoT running on rpi3B.
1)
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/iot/
This resource is very good, however for Linux beginner/intermediate users as I am, it
would help to add some more content.
a) Initial Setup once the VM or Phyical device is running
Mention setting the System Locale, configuring the Date and Time (timedatectl). Otherwise
curl actions or podman pull might fail due to TLS certificate being invalid.
- Nice resources:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f28/system-administrators-gui...
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f28/system-administrators-gui...
b) Enabling wireless support on ...
I would suggest adding hints on how to connect to an wifi access point (wpa_passphrase,
wpa_supplicant, nmcli device wifi connect $SSID --ask)
- Nice resources:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/raspberry-pi/
2) Testing of Fedora IoT utilizing arm-image-installer to flash the SD card
a) Fedora-IoT-28-20181008.0.aarch64.raw.xz is booting and initial use setup user leads to
stable system.
- I've also tried the podman-IoT-HelloWorld successfully :
https://fedoramagazine.org/turnon-led-fedora-iot/
b) Fedora-IoT-29-20181010.0.aarch64.raw.xz screen stays black (HDMI) after power on
c) Fedora-IoT-29-20181011.0.aarch64.raw.xz is booting but gets stuck after displaying lots
of warnings/errors
- I've captured the screen, so if it helps you I can provide screenshots.
3) Also mentioning that I often get corrupted image file downloads, thus I always do
sha256sum check before flashing.
Cheers and wishing a "good day"
Dmitry
