Greetings,
I do finally have a working Fedora image for the Creator CI20 [1]. It boots into headless - you can either use serial console or SSH to connect - and has a working DNF to install packages. Mock should also be fully functional.
I have started stage4 rebuilding a few days ago and will keep the repos [2] up to date. Issues are listed on the wiki [3], any help on any of them would be appreciated (top priority now being kernel packaging and java bootstrap).
There is also a short blog post by IMG [4] promoting Fedora on Creator CI20.
Give it a try, any feedback is welcome.
Regards, Michal

Thanks Michal,
so far no issues whatsoever (I did find out after asking in #ci20 that this image cannot be flashed to the NAND, as to do that special care needs to be taken in the image creation).
I took a look at the open issues. I have worked around M2Crypto failing and put the rpms here: http://acksyn.org/files/rpms/f22-mipsel/
I'll be trying to build some more packages as time permits. I will upload them on the above URL for the time being.
Cheers, Michele
Hi Michal,
Sorry for the delayed response in posting. To introduce myself I'm the Fedora rel-end secondary arch lead, I've been involved in the ARM* (armv5, armv7 and aarch64) projects as well as ppc64le bringup so I know a little about the process.

Let me know if you need help with the kernel side of things. I'm the maintainer for the ARM, and co-maintainer for most of the kernel secondary arches. Also u-boot which I suspect you'll need too for booting.
For u-boot bootloader side of things it would be useful to support the distro defaults support as it would allow minimal adjustments for support in grubby/anaconda and friends as it would allow the reuse of the same code as used on ARM making maintenance much easier for all involved.

Hi Peter,
thanks for your support. Help on the kernel and u-boot side would be very appreciated. Reusing the code is the way to go and I believe we can use the distro defaults for MIPS with a reasonable effort. So far nothing at all has been done on either kernel or u-boot and it is about time to start with that.
I was actually planning to catch you at Flock and discuss some more details, so if you'll find a minute for me that would be great. This can also be a call for others - if you want to discuss MIPS at Flock, I'll be there, just let me know.
Regards, Michal

Happy to help where possible. Upstream first is obviously best for both kernel and u-boot.

At flock you can have at least two mins ;-) I think flock would be a good time, I'm not sure I'll have much time prior to that TBH but I'm always around on IRC/email so if there's any queries prior to Flock don't hesitate to ping.

Is there any possible hardware plan for MIPS on Fedora? From Koji, to recommended boards?
Thanks.

There is hardware already available but with not enough RAM and no SATA connector for build servers. We'll soon be evaluating machines with at least 4 cpu cores, 8 GB RAM and a SATA connector as build servers.

I'm just waiting for the new CI20(just preordered it) to be released soon, August is coming ;)
Thanks for the info.
I'd like to test the image on Loongson once the kernel is replaced with Fedora one as we still have Loongson users in China.
