Fedora on ROCK 5 Model B

    Hello,
    I've installed Fedora 40 Rawhide on my Rock 5
    Short howto:

    
    What you need:

      1)
      https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588/releases/download/v0.9.1/rock-5b_UEFI_Release_v0.9.1.img

      dd this Image on a SD-Card
    2)
      https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/aarch64/iso/Fedora-Everything-netinst-aarch64-Rawhide-20231113.n.0.iso
    dd this Image on a USB stick
     Put both in your Rock 5B and boot. I've done the Net-install
      installation with KDE Wayland. The SD-Card with UEFI is needed for
      booting.
    

    Questions:
    1. GPU:

      root@rockpi5:~# inxi -Gx
        

        Graphics:
        

         Message: No PCI device
          data found.
        

         Display: server: X.Org v: 23.2.2 with: Xwayland v: 23.2.2 driver: X:
        

           loaded: modesetting dri: swrast gpu: N/A resolution:
          1920x1080~60Hz
        

         API: EGL v: 1.5 drivers:
          kms_swrast,swrast platforms:
        

           active:
          gbm,x11,surfaceless,device inactive: wayland
        

         API: OpenGL v: 4.5 vendor: mesa v: 23.3.0 glx-v: 1.4 direct-render: yes
        

           renderer: llvmpipe
          (LLVM 17.0.4 128 bits)
        

         API: Vulkan v: 1.3.268 drivers: llvmpipe surfaces: xcb,xlib devices: 1
        

        root@rockpi5:~#
    How can I
          improve GPU Performance ? Mali / Panfrost Driver are available
          but not loaded /used

        
    root@rockpi5:~# rpm -ql
          mesa-dri-drivers-23.3.0-1.fc40.aarch64 | grep -i pan
        

        /usr/lib64/dri/panfrost_dri.so
        

        root@rockpi5:~# rpm -ql
          mesa-dri-drivers-23.3.0-1.fc40.aarch64 | grep -i mali
        

        /usr/lib64/dri/mali-dp_dri.so
        

        root@rockpi5:~#

      
    Creating a custom xorg.conf
        doesn't make sense while using Wayland ?
    

    2. Boot
    Is there any way to boot
        Fedora direct from NVME instead using rock-5b_UEFI_Release_v0.9.1.img
      on SD-Card ?

      
      Thanks

      Andreas
