Hi,

The newly released arm-image-installer-2.15-1.fc31.noarch has some problems I 
like to point out with regards to raspberry pi and the newly introduced support 
for rock64.
Lets start with rock64:
The boards.d file is named "rock64". This filename is supposed to match the 
folder name from uboot-images-armv8-2019.10-2.fc31.noarch, however that folder 
is named "rock64-rk3328".
This results in the following:
[root@localhost ~]# update-uboot --target=rock64-rk3328 --media=/dev/mmcblk0
/usr/bin/update-uboot: line 124: 
/usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/rock64-rk3328: No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]# update-uboot --target=rock64 --media=/dev/mmcblk0
= No U-Boot files found for rock64.
= Complete!
----
UGLYWORKAROUND:
[root@localhost ~]# mv /usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/rock64 
/usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d/rock64-rk3328
[root@localhost ~]# update-uboot --target=rock64-rk3328 --media=/dev/mmcblk0
= Writing idbloader.img for rock64-rk3328 .... on media /dev/mmcblk0

Now for Raspberry Pi.
This release dropped "rpi-uboot-update", which essentially took the 
corresponding raspberry pi uboot file files from uboot-images-armv8 and copied 
them to the correct location renaming to the correct name depending on if rpi2 
or rpi3.
The problem is that dropping this script removed the only "easy" way to update 
uboot for raspberry pi, since "update-uboot" has files for rpi2 and rpi3 which 
does nothing but setting the correct console-parameters.
My proposal is to reintroduce "rpi-uboot-update" until update-uboot has 
information added for updating also the rpi2 and rpi3 unless there was a good 
reason for dropping this script?

Best Regards,
Peter Hjalmarsson
