I have the following device: DIY Laptop by Olimex https://www.olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop/ It is a 2GB A64 Cortex A53 Quad core 64-bit processor based. https://www.olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop/SPARE-PARTS/TERES-PCB1-A64/open-source-hardware There are several options for running Linux on it, but Fedora is not among them https://github.com/OLIMEX/DIY-LAPTOP/tree/master/SOFTWARE/A64-TERES I did not manage to run the latest stable Fedora on it.
What was the problem exactly? I have a PINE64, which is also a 2GB A64 laptop. I used F30 minimal and later installed LXDE. The screen
brightness defaulted to 0, which made it difficult to go through the firstboot menu. :-) My solution was to finish the firstboot on an rPi3, update, and build a multi-platform initrd to boot the micro-SD back on the pine64. Some of the peripherals haven't made it to mainline yet for PINE64: 1) internal wifi/bluetooth (I use a dongle) 2) CPU scaling (it's still faster than my XO-1) 3) HDMI port (actually seems to be upstream, but isn't working for ME)
How can I help with getting Fedora on this laptop? Is there a how-to for getting this to run?
