I also prefer a Fedora solution. Especially since we, as a server WG, are considering creating a list of reference boards that we care about in particular. And due to its characteristics, the Rock Pi would be a suitable candidate for such a list. Well the Server WG considering a list of Arm reference boards is news to me, please ensure you engage with the arm team about this, I don't want to end up in a situation where you decide on a device we can't work with you on supporting. I tend to find actually giving other groups heads up rather than finding out in side comments on other threads useful for the general community engagement. > What I did: > > I studied your https://nullr0ute.com/2021/05/fedora-on-the-pinebook-pro/ and noted that Fedora provides 2 variants of itbloader for that board (*.img & *.spi). The same is true for some other Rockchip 3399 boards, but for Radxa Rock pi 4 there is only the one img variant. This left me a bit in doubt whether Fedora currently supports spi on Rock Pi. Before its hardware version 1.4, the Rock Pi did not have SPI soldered on. So there was nothing to test until now. And the described procedure is specific to pine and I couldn't find a way to get this to work on Rock Pi. Well the .img file is explicitly intended for emmc/mSD so I would entirely expect your results. I haven't built SPI specific images because it wasn't clear to me from their docs if SPI flash is shipped as their docs don't mention it on any of the 3 variants of the Rock Pi 4: https://rockpi.org/rockpi4 https://wiki.radxa.com/News/2018/11/introduce-the-new-rockpi-4-hardware Also the wiki indicates there is solder pads for a SPI flash but it's not populated by default: https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/hardware/spi_flash Also there's no config for SPI flash in either the upstream U-Boot configs/DT or the upstream kernel DTs. So is the SPI flash default, a build to order option or something you've added yourself?
