HOW-TO install Fedora Linux for any Khadas SBC

Electr1 · September 23, 2021, 8:47am

@hyphop I didn’t find that kernel module and couldn’t add it when building manually, also the server script seems to have some issues:

HDMI sound already works - OK

2020481 – VIM3 ( aarch64 meson amlogic ) unusable onboard sound card

Yasir_Javed · November 11, 2021, 12:09pm

That’s great news, thanks @hyphop

Electr1 · January 6, 2022, 2:05pm

@hyphop can we get these scripts to make images with legacy kernel ?

hyphop · January 7, 2022, 5:56am

if u talking about vendor kernel from amlogic which used same in fenix ! maybe but not at this time …

Yasir_Javed · May 11, 2022, 5:07am

@hyphop
If i install Fedora using online script, and perform sudo dnf update, HDMI audio will work normally or do i still need to enable testing repos and upgrade the FEDORA-2021-7de33b7016/ FEDORA-2021-fdef34e26f

hyphop · May 11, 2022, 7:13am

u can check but i think must be on next release

hyphop · May 19, 2022, 9:03am

Electr1 · September 27, 2022, 4:56am

@hyphop any plans to make VIM4 script ?

hyphop · September 27, 2022, 5:06am

yes we have this idea but for vim4 need replace original fedora kernel and gpu packages what no so easy and need time

PS: at this moment u can play your self and replace it by hands a test how its works

Electr1 · September 27, 2022, 5:09am

Cool, i tried to install manually by talking a look at the normal script made for vim3.

I took into account that oowow was in the spi flash and didn’t overwrite it but forgot to check GPU packages.

I will test it some more later and post back here.

Cheers!

Yasir_Javed · April 3, 2023, 1:47pm

@hyphop
Any plan to include latest fedora editions to script?

hyphop · April 11, 2023, 1:26pm

yes will be checked soon

Yasir_Javed · January 15, 2024, 12:49pm

Hi @hyphop

Any update? I want to use latest rolling Fedora on vim3 pro
