device tree on Pi4B
by Steven A. Falco
I have a Pi4B that is working pretty well with the aarch64 version of Fedora Rawhide, but I have one issue that I haven't been able to find a solution to.
I have an Adafruit RTC connected via I2C (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3386). If I use the kernel device tree, this device is not found.
I then tried switching to the firmware device tree via the instructions in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_Pi/HATs. That works pretty well - I can now add an overlay for the RTC in /boot/efi/config.txt and the RTC is found during boot. dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,pcf8523,addr=0x68
However, once I've switched to the firmware device tree, I no longer have /dev/vchiq, which means that I can no longer use vcgencmd. Instead, vcgencmd gives me "VCHI initialization failed".
Is there any way to get both the RTC and vcgencmd to work? Which device tree would I choose? Do I have to build a custom kernel or is there some other way to enable the RTC with the kernel device tree?

Orange Pi support?
by Richard Shaw
So as RPi's have issues not to mention being unobtainium right now, what's
the support status on Orange Pi4's?
Thanks,
