Is the Radxa Rock Pi 4 supported by Fedora? I don't see it listed on
the Fedora ARM wiki page.
Yes it is (it is ‚workable‘, but not ’supported’ in the terms of arm sig - ‚supported'
are none but a very few boards). It's a Rock board and falls in the list into the
category 'RockChips based devices'. The board is part of the uboot-images-armv8
package, too. And with the current kernel version, the PCIe interface is workable. So you
get a nice and compact capable Fedora Server for special purposes (e.g. system monitoring
via nagios or its alternatives).
The lack of standard support in the Linux kernel for a lot of the
cheap ARM boards means options for running Fedora are limited.
That’s true. Unfortunately, most of the current powerful devices (and even Raspberry) use
proprietary kernel extensions. But the arm crew is doing an excellent job to develop free
replacements. And the board is not sooo cheap, by the way. It’s about the same as Pine64
RockPro.
