== Known issues ==

=== uboot-tools prevents clean update of kernel packages ===
The "/usr/lib/kernel/install.d/10-devicetree.install" script from uboot-tools package prevents older kernel packages from being removed cleanly during update:
{{{
  Erasing : kernel-core-5.10.35-1.rpi.fc33.armv7hl
  warning: file /lib/modules/5.10.35-1.rpi.fc33.armv7hl/modules.builtin.alias.bin: remove failed: No such file or directory
}}}
To mitigate it run the following command:
{{{
$ echo "FIRMWAREDT=True" | sudo tee /etc/u-boot.conf
}}}

=== CMA memory allocation issue with graphics on the Pi3 using vc4 ===
 The best is to disable vc4 (will be unaccelerated).


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 39 files with the following modifications:

  • component

    Repositories

    comment

    kernel

    spec / copr

    Downstream kernel

    bcm434xx-firmware

    spec / copr

    bcm283x-firmware

    spec / copr

    pykickstart

    PR / copr

    Adds --priority=<priority>

    livecd-tools

    PR / 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.

Updating Raspberry Pi 4 bootloader EEPROM

Follow the gist available at: https://gist.github.com/dwrobel/266ad5d4e59b05ea26d8bb6725118578.

Configurations

Booting from external USB drive

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.

Note: On the Raspberry Pi 4, you may need to adjust BOOT_ORDER= parameter in order be able to boot from the external drive.

Resizing filesystem

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

sudo growpart -u on /dev/mmcblk0 2
sudo btrfs filesystem resize max /
