The bug in U-Boot caused an erroneous `hd0` error to occur while GRUB was loading Fedora.Īfter trying several SD cards and doing research on how U-Boot and Grub work, I found that this was a KNOWN ISSUE with Fedora 28. The bad news was that there was a bug in the U-Boot used that caused Fedora to only occasionally complete the boot. I confirmed that the `ln` link to the DTB file was no longer needed. Sudo fedora-arm-image-installer -image=Fedora-Workstation-28-1.1. -target=pine64_plus -media=/dev/mmcblk0 # Install downloaded Fedora 28 Workstation image to SD card Sudo dnf install uboot-images-armv8 fedora-arm-installer # Install the fedora-arm-image-installer and Fedora uboot-images-armv8 package I used the method described by cmuellner using Fedora running on a Dell laptop: Success! I was able to get Fedora 28 Workstation to run on my Pine A64!

Determine the device name to which you'll be writing. Remember: This is pre-release software. Eventually you'll end up with a file named similar to this (the date will be different):įedora-Minimal-27-20171026.n.0. Make sure there's a green check mark by the item you intend to download, as that indicates that it was successfully built that day. I'd recommend one of either the Minimal or Server builds: *) Obtain one of the daily Fedora builds from Koji. *) Acquire a UART cable for using the serial console. ![]() Here are the steps as I best understand them. ![]() From there, once ethernet is established, you can SSH to the board. On first boot, you can create a user, set the timezone, etc. There's no graphical support yet, so you'll only be able to watch the OS boot on the serial console. Note, Fedora's philosophy eschews proprietary software as much as possible, so if upstream support isn't yet available, it won't be in Fedora. If you are interested in running a pre-release version of Fedora 27 on your Pine64, here's what you need to do at this point in its development. Note to admins here, it may be time to add a Fedora Sub Forum on this site. Official Fedora support is nearing the light of day from the good folks on the Fedora ARM team. ![]()
