Hey Folks,    So we've had issues with officially supporting a number of different  platforms in Fedora directly and for a while I have been pondering how  we can better enable these platforms to work better on Fedora. This  isn't limited to rk35xx by any means, it's merely the first platforms  I took the time to look at.    What I've come up with is a copr repo with builds for those platforms  that are very similar to the experience you get from the official  Fedora builds. I am still working out the best way to integrate this  with arm-image-iinstaller to make the experience as straight forward  as possible.    To try it you can do:  dnf copr enable pbrobinson/u-boot; dnf install uboot-images-copr    So with this first round it should work with 22 rk3588 based boards.  I've actively tested the Rock5B (both mmc/SPI). To write a mSD card  you can use the dd command below, for SPI the process is basically the  same as the Pinebook Pro [1].    sudo dd if=/usr/share/uboot/rock5b-rk3588/u-boot-rockchip.bin  of=/dev/XXX seek=64    There are rk356x builds as well but they currently have an issue and  while you get the early firmware and initial Fedora the boot doesn't  complete. I am working to fix this problem with the vendor. So at the  moment they shouldn't be used.    I look forward to hearing feedback and suggestions for improvement.  I'm looking to add some TI devices as well, from there we'll see where  this goes.    Regards,  Peter    [1] https://nullr0ute.com/2021/05/fedora-on-the-pinebook-pro/  

Hello Peter,

for Rock5B that means I have to write /usr/share/uboot/rock5b-rk3588/u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin to SPI ?
What's the difference between this file and rock-5b_UEFI_Release_v0.11.2.img ? How todo it with a running Fedora installation ?
There's no /dev/mtdblock* available.

Thank you very much for your work !
