Fedora 21 for ARM

The Fedora ARM team is pleased to announce the final release of Fedora 21 for the 32-bit ARM Architecture. We are providing both pre-installed disk media images (suitable for use with devices that boot from removable media, such as an SD Card), as well as installer images:

What is included in the Fedora 21 for ARM release?

The Fedora 21 for ARM Architecture release includes prebuilt images suitable for use with:

  • Versatile Express (QEMU)
  • Banana Pi (Allwinner A20)
  • CubieTruck (Allwinner A20)
  • PandaBoard (OMAP4)
  • CompuLab TrimSlice (Tegra2)
  • Texas Instruments BeagleBone (Black & White)
  • Wandboard (Freescale i.MX6)

Images are available for many of the major desktop environments (MATE, KDE, XFCE, LXDE, Sugar), as well as a "Minimal" image that does not include a desktop environment.

These prebuilt images can be written directly to SD Card, USB, or SATA drive and in most cases can be booted without any additional steps or configuration. Please see the board-specific installation instructions for additional information.
