I don't know what you mean by "anarsoul's arch mainline" as there's there appears to be bits there that aren't upstream in "mainline". On Fedora 29 the pinebook will boot and run but you need to be using the serial console which is accessible via the headphone jack, it doens't make it overly usable as a laptop though. This is improved with the current rawhide (which will become Fedora 30) in that the ATF/U-Boot firmware there will properly light up the display so you can get text based console output. > I've seen pine64-lts is[2], and I've been trying to create a build[3] based > on some scripts on the pine64 discord channel but so far I have no idea on > what I'm doing :) So if you used the 2019.01 U-Boot build and updated the F-29 image to at least the 4.20.x kernel you should have the basics of a working device. If you're not sure what your doing I would actually use a Fedora-30/Rawhide image. The 4.20 kernel with the above U-Boot should light up the display properly, it won't be accelerated though. The WiFi should work with the next F-29 kernel update, but the 5.0 kernel will bring a number of other improvements such as battery/charging support/monitoring and sound as well as better backlight control and a number of other features. While Fedora 30 won't be perfect it should ultimately be relatively usable with a desktop such as XFCE or Mate Peter _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
