Hi All,

I'm very happy to announce the availability of Fedora 18 Beta for
Allwinner A10 based devices. This release is based on the official
Fedora 18 beta for ARM images.

	:

It is important to read the README, the image standard comes without
u-boot pre-loaded since u-boot is board specific. The image includes
a user-friendly simple script to install the right u-boot for
your board, but if you simply xzcat the image to an sdcard, and then
boot your device with the sdcard, things will *not* work.

Have you considered adding support for the A10 boards (Gooseberry,
Cubieboard, etc.) to the uboot-tools package:

  http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=98609

There is already support for several ARM boards (beagle, origen, panda,
etc.), so there are examples of how to add a new board.  Then we can simply
install the right U-Boot when the image is created.

Not possible as the support for the A10 isn't upstream in uboot as yet
and it's still currently a fork.

That is most unfortunate.

Thanks for the info.

Like the kernel there are plans to do
it but it's not been done as yet.
