= Proposed Self Contained Change: Allwinner sunxi (A10 / A13 / A20) ARM SoC support = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AllwinnerSunxiSupport Change owner(s): Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx>, Peter Robinson <pbrobinson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Allwinner A10 / A13 / A20 SoCs are used in a number of popular low cost arm development boards and arm mini computers. Currently Fedora ARM is supported on these devices through a Remix [1]. Allwinner kernel support is progressing rapidly upstream, and with this upstream kernel support it should be possible to support Allwinner SoCs in the official Fedora ARM images, without the need for a remix. == Detailed description == The linux-sunxi community is currently working hard to get Allwinner SoCs supported in the upstream kernel. A big part of this should land in the 3.14 kernel. The plan is to support Allwinner SoCs in headless mode for now, and carry patches for mmc, ahci and usb support for 1-2 kernel releases (until they land upstream). == Scope == Supporting Allwinnner SoCs ootb will require kernel and u-boot support. Kernel support is landing upstream and we will add patches to the Fedora kernel for 1-2 kernel releases to supplement this. u-boot support currently lives in a u- boot fork upstream, this fork is tracking / merging u-boot upstream and does intent to get sunxi support merged into the official u-boot packages, but there is no timeline for this atm. For u-boot we will create a separate u-boot-sunxi package, which can be dropped once u-boot support has been merged into u-boot upstream. Proposal owners: Will try to get as much kernel support upstream as possible, supplement with patches in the Fedora kernel package. Will create a u-boot- sunxi package with sunxi specific u-boot. Will look into adding a config tool to the sdcard images to easily select and install the correct u-boot and dtb, like the Allwinner Remix images have.
