Hey,

The HiKey960 is one of the supported list of devices per (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM?rd=Architectures/AArch64) where it mentions that the 96Boards.

But I am not finding any docs on how to install?

I don't have a 960, but I've been running fedora on the older hikey. My suggestion is to use the prebuilt binaries install process to get a valid uefi image running on the machine.

http://snapshots.linaro.org/reference-platform/embedded/morty/hikey960/latest/rpb/bootloader/

Really, you should only need to flash the ptable (emmc partition table), xloader/iloader, and fip.bin (uefi/armtf image). Then from that you _SHOULD_ be able to download one of the fedora server/netboot images boot it and install fedora like you would on any generic PC with uefi.

The remainder of the images (boot/system/etc) would just be overwritten by the fedora install anyway.

Will it work? No idea! The aarch64 fedora installers use basically upstream grub/kernel/etc trees so linaro "workarounds" for machine/firmware problems may not be in fedora. I intend to encourage more "standards" compliance with regard to the UEFI images linaro ships when i'm at connect next week.

Sorry, not be be more helpful.



The Linaro images are rootfs ones that would be loaded using fastboot (after a lot of pain of changing the boot to UEFI) and loading the right Android type images on the box.
