Fedora Arm Installer
The examples provided here are from a Fedora 24/25/26 host and may need to be adjusted depending on your host environment.
Used to deploy disk images for ARMv7hl. Execute the following script as a user with sudo privileges. It will copy the selected disk image and write the appropriate U-Boot for the target hardware platform. Optionally you can also enable and disable SE Linux and remove the root password requirement (allowing log in without completing initial setup). To add a board not listed, simply create a bash scriptlet with the commands needed to copy U-Boot to media and add to the 'boards.d' directory.
sudo dnf install fedora-arm-installer
Usage: fedora-arm-image-installer <options> --image=IMAGE - xz compressed image file name --target=TARGET - target board --media=DEVICE - media device file (/dev/[sdX|mmcblkX]) --selinux=ON/OFF - Turn SELinux off/on as needed --norootpass - Remove the root password -y - Assumes yes, will not wait for confirmation --version - Display version and exit --resizefs - Resize root filesystem to fill media device --addconsole - Add system console to extlinux.conf Example: fedora-arm-image-installer --image=Fedora-Rawhide.xz --target=Bananapi --media=/dev/mmcblk0 --selinux=OFF
Network Installation
A network installation is the preferred installation method for current Aarch64 hardware targets but can also be used for ARMv7hl. In order to begin you will need to setup the installation server, a guide can be found below:
