Line 3: Line 4:
This documentation is about using Raspberry Pi Foundation "downstream kernel" and components on a Fedora (or CentOS) userspace.
As with Fedora, this process is compatible with Raspberry Pi 2 and later model (No original Raspberry Pi or Pi Zero support is planned).
Unless using a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8Gio of RAM. It's recommended to use the 32bit version over the 64bit.
For graphics usage, it's really recommended to have a Raspberry Pi 4 which default to the vc4/v3d driver.
This documentation is about using Raspberry Pi Foundation [[https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux|downstream kernel]] and components from Fedora userspace.
The Workstation flavor is recommended for the Raspberry Pi 4 B/400 with >=4GB RAM platform. The Server flavor is usable on starting from Raspberry Pi 3 B/B+.

It's possible to use a Fedora official image as a base, then later install additional repositories. Or use the dedicated images. == Kickstart files ==
Kickstart files are located at [[https://pagure.io/fork/dwrobel/fedora-kickstarts||fedora-kickstarts]] repository and are based on the original
Fedora 38 files with the following modifications:
 || component || Repositories || comment ||
 || kernel || [[https://github.com/dwrobel/kernel|spec]] / [[https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dwrobel/kernel-rpi/|copr]] || Downstream kernel ||
 || bcm434xx-firmware || [[https://github.com/dwrobel/bcm434xx-firmware|spec]] / [[https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dwrobel/bcm434xx-firmware-rpi/|copr]] || ||
 || bcm283x-firmware || [[https://github.com/dwrobel/bcm283x-firmware|spec]] / [[https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dwrobel/bcm283x-firmware-rpi/|copr]] || ||
 || pykickstart || [[https://github.com/pykickstart/pykickstart/pull/275|PR]] / [[https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dwrobel/pykickstart/|copr]] || Adds --priority=<priority> ||
 || livecd-tools || [[https://github.com/livecd-tools/livecd-tools/pull/134|PR]] / [[https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dwrobel/livecd-tools/|copr]] || Adds support for repository 'priority' configuration ||

The modifications in livecd-tools and pykickstart allows to generate image with selected downstream kernel (despite it has lower version) over the upstream one. On a system, all aforementioned repositories are installed with '''priority=50''' option to instruct 'dnf' to choose packages from this repository, rather then Fedora default.

Write the image to the external drive, then mount the filesystem and change '''root=/dev/mmcblk0p2''' to '''root=/dev/sda2''' in the '''/boot/efi/cmdline.txt'''.

=== Resizing filesystem ===
After booting the system, please consider to resize the filesystem.
The following example assumes system booted from internal SD card.

== Using RPM Fusion RPI Repositories on Fedora ==
* For Fedora 32 and later:
{{{
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpi/rpmfusion-rpi.repo
sudo dnf install raspberrypi-vc-utils raspberrypi-vc-libs
}}}


== Using dedicated RPI Images ==

* https://pagure.io/fork/dwrobel/fedora-kickstarts


== Known issue ==
 * There is a CMA memory allocation issue with graphics on the Pi3 using vc4, best is to disable vc4 (will be un-accelerated).

About this Howto

This documentation is about using Raspberry Pi Foundation downstream kernel and components from Fedora userspace. The Workstation flavor is recommended for the Raspberry Pi 4 B/400 with >=4GB RAM platform. The Server flavor is usable on starting from Raspberry Pi 3 B/B+.

Kickstart files

Kickstart files are located at https://pagure.io/fork/dwrobel/fedora-kickstarts repository and are based on the original Fedora 38 files with the following modifications:

    Adds support for repository 'priority' configuration

The modifications in livecd-tools and pykickstart allows to generate image with selected downstream kernel (despite it has lower version) over the upstream one. On a system, all aforementioned repositories are installed with priority=50 option to instruct 'dnf' to choose packages from this repository, rather then Fedora default.
