Thanks Peter
putting FW on SPI works fine, so no SD-Card is needed to boot.
For accelerated graphics I'll wait.

Hi,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.

The support for accelerated graphics isn't upstream yet. There's a few series of patches that would need to land, at least this one [1], and one to support HDMI, possibly more. Looking at [1] I doubt that will now land for 6.8, the rule of thumb is usually it has to be accepted by rc5 of the previous cycle, so we'd be looking at 6.9 at the earliest assuming any other patch series also land, it'll also need patches for device tree. You could collect the patch series together and build a kernel if you want it before then.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 ?You need to put the FW on the SPI flash, not sure if the firmware supports that yet, but there's confirmation it'll work at some point in their FAQ: https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5/FAQs#Q:_Without_eMMC_and_TF_card.2C_can_ROCK_5B_boot_from_PCIe_M.2_NVME_SSD.3F [1] https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2023-December/434211.html -- _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to arm-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
