I got mine a couple of weeks ago, which is a 11' one with 1080p display. According to some discussion with Icenowy (one of the linux-sunxi community contributor) the dtb of 1080 display version seems not fully upstream (at least at that time). > I don't know what you mean by "anarsoul's arch mainline" as there's > there appears to be bits there that aren't upstream in "mainline". > > On Fedora 29 the pinebook will boot and run but you need to be using > the serial console which is accessible via the headphone jack, it > doens't make it overly usable as a laptop though. > > This is improved with the current rawhide (which will become Fedora > 30) in that the ATF/U-Boot firmware there will properly light up the > display so you can get text based console output. > > > I've seen pine64-lts is[2], and I've been trying to create a build[3] based on some scripts on the pine64 discord channel but so far I have no idea on what I'm doing :) > > So if you used the 2019.01 U-Boot build and updated the F-29 image to > at least the 4.20.x kernel you should have the basics of a working > device.

I do confirm the U-Boot of 2019.01 boots on mine. And just a note, the arm-image-installer do not have pinebook(yet) listed in the supported boards, so I need to write the U-Boot manually. I don't have luck with my serial connection before. But I will try again this week with the newest Rawhide and see. > Peter -- Ziqian SUN (Zamir) zsun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx GPG : 1D86 6D4A 49CE 4BBD 72CF FCF5 D856 6E11 F2A0 525E Want to know more about Fedora?
