no /dev/mtd* devices in Fedora 40 beta on Rock 5B
by Pim Zandbergen
I have my Rock 5B booting Fedora 40 Beta on NVMe, using EDK2 on an SD card.
I would like to flash the EDK2 image to SPI, but this requires access to
/dev/mtdblock* devices.
There appear to be none.
Could this be related to the ACPI vs DTB setting in the EDK2?
Fedora 40 Beta will not boot in DTB mode, and possibly this is required
for automatically creating /dev/mtdblock* devices.

Fedora on ROCK 5 Model B
by Andreas Reschke
Hello,
I've installed Fedora 40 Rawhide on my Rock 5
Short howto:
What you need:
1)
https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588/releases/download/v0.9.1/rock...
dd this Image on a SD-Card
2)
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everyth...
dd this Image on a USB stick
Put both in your Rock 5B and boot. I've done the Net-install
installation with KDE Wayland. The SD-Card with UEFI is needed for booting.
Questions:
1. GPU:

How can I improve GPU Performance ? Mali / Panfrost Driver are available
but not loaded /used
root@rockpi5:~# rpm -ql mesa-dri-drivers-23.3.0-1.fc40.aarch64 | grep -i
pan
/usr/lib64/dri/panfrost_dri.so
root@rockpi5:~# rpm -ql mesa-dri-drivers-23.3.0-1.fc40.aarch64 | grep -i
mali
/usr/lib64/dri/mali-dp_dri.so
root@rockpi5:~#
Creating a custom xorg.conf doesn't make sense while using Wayland ?
2. Boot
Is there any way to boot Fedora direct from NVME instead using
rock-5b_UEFI_Release_v0.9.1.img on SD-Card ?
Thanks
Andreas
