Genesi Efika MX Smartbook

There is work being done on getting the Genesi Smartbook to function nicely with a recent Fedora release. The Smartbook has a Freescale i.MX515 (ARM Cortex-A8 800MHz) SOC with 512MB RAM. Go to the Fedora ARM Genesi Smartbook page for the current status of the hardware support and installation instructions.

Creating your own Remix

Anybody can create a remix of Fedora 18 for their ARM device. Generally all that is needed is an appropriate kernel for the hardware in question. See Architectures/ARM/Installer for an introduction into building images based on a kickstart file. You can also download a tarball of a generic root filesystem for use with your own custom kernel:
