I am also impatiently waiting for Fedora support on Rock64. I'm willing to test things but I don't have the time to learn the precise magic required to get from the existing U-Boot to booting Fedora. I took a stab at it briefly, but other things have required my time so I've just been waiting on for someone else to make it happen :)

Hello all,
I've been looking for a group like this for a while now to hopefully help with learning how to get get a recent version of u-boot working properly so I can get fedora 29 to boot on my rock64 and odroid c2 boards. I'd also like to contribute this back once I get this working properly.
So far I've gotten the odroid c2 to boot fine using the stock hardkernel 3.16 lts kernel and their older version of u-boot. For this I had used a chrooted instance of a Fedora 29 minimum sitting on the Ubuntu distro they provide. From this I built a new initramfs with dracut against a copy of the hosted ubunutu lib/modules.
This all worked fine although I'd like to get it working with a recent u-boot, UEFI and load the grub.efi binary to boot the standard fedora kernel. I had got to the point where I had loaded the grub binary and was able to select my kernel (stock fedora 4.18.x kernel); Although things would hang after. I suspect the main reason for the hang was I borrowed the opensuse grub.efi UEFI app because I could not get the fedora one to run. Other than the binary blob stuff from hardkernel u-boot was stock and it was booting into u-boot just fine.
I've set that board aside for now to use it as a build host and have moved on to my rock64 board. After putting the stock fedora 29 minimal image on a card and attempting to boot it Im seeing:
... regular u-boot stuff blah blah blah (full u-boot log is below)

I'm using the u-boot binary from another distro (arch linux) configured for a rock64 device; Not the Fedora one. I'm pretty ignorant on how the shim stuff works although I would like to learn all those details to form a better understanding. My current understanding is that this shim is a signed (by UEFI signing service) initial bootloader that handles chaining to a trusted full bootloader (grub in this case). Does grub need to be signed in some way to work with this shim that loads it?
Are there any good resources out there that would help me better understand what is happening? My next step is going to be to use the fedora u-boot of course and see where that leads me. Although my gut is telling that may not produce the outcome I desire.
I'm very familiar with patching and building so I'm not afraid to dig in and create some patches to bounce back once I have these up and running I'm just hoping to have someone provide some insight as to what I should be focusing on so I can gain some traction.
I've noticed there's a #fedora-meeting-2 IRC channel that meets on Tues at 3pm UTC; I'm planning on dropping by next week.
Well that's all for now I'm exhausted and need some sleep :)
