> Thanks for your response. Note, however, that this info is "as of" almost a year ago. Has any progress been made since then? As the maintainer of these devices in Fedora I can clearly state they are still unsupported. I do this in my own time, I don't have time to do kernel development nor do I have access to NDA martial about the SoCs to ensure things can be made to work. That does not mean they don't work in a number of circumstances. The difference between "work" and "support" is basically the former requires a level of competence to get them working as it might require things like serial consoles and support means they are functional across all the compose artefacts that we produce for the ARMv7/aarch64 compose process, will have accelerated graphics and support for various other functionality. IE they will become supported when I don't get 1000s of emails because certain pieces of the HW that random newbies want to work don't. So what doesn't work ATM: 1) Accelerated graphics, that is due to land in the 5.10 kernel 2) ARMv7 OOTB, it can be made to work by limiting the device to 1Gb of RAM, bootimg, switching the kernel to the LPAE variant, removing the memory limit and rebooting 3) USB in early boot so grub2 works 4) A whole lot of other stuff like HDMI audio. 5) The 8Gb model What does work: 1) basic text based install with unaccelerated graphics 2) USB on non 8GB model 3) Network interfaces - WiFi and wired ethernet 4) mSD storage 5) aarch64 images So is it supported, no, does it work to some degree, yes. > The only remotely possible way I know of to install Fedora on a P4B is to follow the complex instructions at https://medium.com/ironhaul/installing-64-bit-fedora-on-the-raspberry-pi-4-d4a665ea65d3.
