About this Howto
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 4G of RAM. It's recommended to use the 32bit version over the 64bit (especially for the Workstation flavor). For graphics usage, it's really recommended to have a Raspberry Pi 4 which default to the vc4/v3d driver.
Kickstart files
Kickstart files are located at https://pagure.io/fork/dwrobel/fedora-kickstarts repository and are based on the original Fedora 34 files with the following modifications:
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.
Pre-built images
The location of pre-generated images for Fedora 34 can be found below:

Raspberry Pi specific RPM Fusion RPI Repositories on Fedora
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
Updating the eeprom on RPI4
git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom.git cd rpi-eeprom sudo ./rpi-eeprom-update
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.
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 /
Sysctl
# set vm.min_free_kbytes for rpi cat>/etc/sysctl.d/98-rpi.conf<<EOF vm.min_free_kbytes = 16384 EOF
Known issues
- There is a CMA memory allocation issue with graphics on the Pi3 using vc4, best is to disable vc4 (will be un-accelerated).
Bug Report
You can report to our bugzilla, see ReportingBugs, please mention using downstream kernel/components.
Downstream bugs on the kernel can be reported to https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/
