[fedora-arm] Re: Fedora on Rpi3B
Update: I finally managed to get the image to the card and successfuly run it. Maybe it's beacuse new version was released (25 Beta 1.1), because I tried all ways you suggested. (And yes, I was on Fedora wiki before, like on all RPi pages from F18, nothing helped me.) So, now I have: OS: Fedora 25 Server Beta 1.1 URL: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/25_Beta/Server/armhfp/images/Fedora-Server-armhfp-25_Beta-1.1-sda.raw.xz FORMAT: compressed *.raw file INSTALLATION: decompression dd bs=4M if="/path/image.raw" of=/dev/mmcblk0; sync However it runs anaconda installation at the beginning, so it can't be fast deployed like other RPi OS distros. Either way it need configuration, so I will make my own image later. The second thing is, that it feels like it runs slow - comapared to Raspbian or CentOS I tried on the same RPi3B. Is it just a feeling or it is something known? Thanks for replies!

Yes. Even tried to remove vc4.ko from the filesystem, suspecting that blacklisting didn't work for some reason. Didn't help. > We might also need to add the touchscreen driver to the kernel.

IIRC it's connected via i2c. Display output doesn't need the touch driver though. cheers, Gerd ___ arm mailing list -- arm@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to arm-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Not a usecase I've tried, have you tried blacklisting the vc4 module in something like "/etc/modprobe.d/vc4.conf"? I don't have a screen to test with but I'll test the general usecase without vc4 and update the FAQ. We might also need to add the touchscreen driver to the kernel. I'm not sure what is in the HW from the touchscreen PoV, I'll see if I can find out.

If so it's covered in the FAQ: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#Are_display_outputs_other_than_HDMI_supported.3F > Trying to fix that by blacklisting vc4 (to make things continue on > simplefb, due to vc4 not yet supporting dsi) doesn't work for some > reason with the F25 beta image ... > > cheers, > Gerd > ___ arm mailing list -- arm@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to arm-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

The tl;dr version: just dd the image to the sdcard and boot from it. /me is happy to see rpi support landing in fedora. Any hints on how making the touch display work (just output)? I can see the initial boot messages, but at some point the display goes away. Trying to fix that by blacklisting vc4 (to make things continue on simplefb, due to vc4 not yet supporting dsi) doesn't work for some reason with the F25 beta image ... cheers, Gerd ___ arm mailing list -- arm@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to arm-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

It's being worked on, it wasn't seen as a blocker for the device to be generally usable for quite a few of the the usecases. I had discussions a few weeks ago with upstream developers about the status of all the various components and it's almost there and it's something that it relatively straight forward to land post GA.
