Khadas vim3 is supported, the vim4 uses the same processor family, it it by chance supported by vim3 drivers?

I don't see any DT upstream for it (arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/*vim*)
nor do a I see reference to the A311D2 where the origins A311D2
(meson-g12b-a311d) is there so I'm not sure.

Given the device has SPI memory if the firmware provides an
appropriate DT it may just work but I've not seen any reports either
way.

Thanks for the info. Looking at Vim 4's price tag it is currently a bit too risky for me.

I checked th rk3588 (Radxa rock Pi 5 a&b, FriendlyElec Nanopc-T6) as an alternative. They seem to be supported (at least Rock Pi 5) (https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/master/doc/board/rockchip/rockchip.rst) but other posts say it's currently missing some important features. Would this probably be something for the „near future" in Fedora (i.e. f40 or so) or is that not at all foreseeable at present?
