That would require a bit of a There will be more than enough HW for openQA, we have two large systems we'll put into the cloud (awaiting commissioning now the DC migration is done) which will enable us to use AutoCloud (or what ever it's replacement is) for VM/Docker testing, and a number of physical systems for OpenQA. > 'we expect this hardware to work and this is how you buy/get it' from > the aarch64 team.. otherwise most everyone is going to come and ask > why the raspberry pi 3 isn't supported (just like they did with the The Raspberry Pi 3 *IS* supported on aarch64 [1]! As is the Pine64, currently headless needs a serial console but by F-28 it will be supported with basic console out for HDMI too, We support around 20 aarch64 SBCs in F-27 [1] and I expect that to likely double, or even more than that, with F-28. Along with all the SBSA compliant hardware etc. I have the ability to get HW provided to people that are actually going to use it for testing.... the problem I have here is that I regularly give people hardware for testing and I get zero testing back and Paul, myself and others still end up doing all the testing..... > raspberry pi 1 and 2.)

Err, RPi 0-2 are 32 bit only devices.... in the case of < 2 they're ARMv6, and we support the RPi2 with 32 bit.... I don't see how any of that is relevant to this conversation?
