Fedora 19 ARM Alpha RC5
This is the latest Fedora 19 Alpha Release Candidate for the ARM architecture and marks a significant milestone for Fedora on ARM. There is a single image for use with various platforms including - vexpress, exynos 5 (Chromebook) and Trimslice.
Download the Image and Copy to Media
You can download the image from:
wget http://armpkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/stage/19-Alpha-RC5/Images/armhfp/Fedora-19-Alpha-armhfp-minimal.raw.xz
Copy the image to your SD card for use:
xzcat Fedora-19-Alpha-armhfp-minimal.raw.xz > /dev/<location-of-media>
Prepare for booting
The image includes the following kernel variants - kernel (multiplatform), kernel-lpae (exynos 5) and kernel-tegra(Trimslice). In order to boot one of these kernels, first determine which is appropriate for your device.
For Trimslice(kernel-tegra)
You must use a Device Tree enabled Uboot to boot the Fedora 19 Trimslice image. Failure to do so will result in a non-booting system.
Insert the newly created SD card and navigate to the "_boot" parition. Create a boot.cmd.mmc using the below command:
echo "setenv bootargs cma=64M root=LABEL=_/ ro rhgb console=ttyS0,115200 ext2load mmc 0:1 5880000 vmlinuz-3.9.0-301.fc19.armv7hl.tegra ext2load mmc 0:1 4080000 uInitrd-3.9.0-301.fc19.armv7hl.tegra ext2load mmc 0:1 4000000 dtb-3.9.0-301.fc19.armv7hl.tegra/tegra20-trimslice.dtb bootz 5880000 4080000 4000000" > boot.cmd.mmc
Now create the boot script (boot.scr) the system will read to boot the machine:
mkimage -A arm -O linux -a 0 -e 0 -T script -C none -n "Fedora Boot Script" -d boot.cmd.mmc boot.scr
Insert into the Trimslice and boot.
