Hi,
After consulting https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_Pi I wrote the raw image found in https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/30/Workstation/aa... on a 16 GB SD card, resized p3 with parted, did a resize2fs (all this seemed to work fine) and I booted the Pi 3 with it.
It seemed to boot fine, I saw I saw many screens with logging and OK's, but the last message is "Started GNOME Display Manager" resulting in nothing else, only followed by occassional audio error messages ("bcm2835_audio: vhci message timeout, msg=3") that are probably not related.
During the boot I saw a few times an X arrow cursor on a black screen (that was not reacting to mouse movements BTW).
With ALT-Fx I also have console logins, but root asks for a password that I don't know.
Any suggestions? Is this supposed to work?
Or should I have a better chance when trying the F31 devel version I see in https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/development/31/Workstation... ?
Thanks,
Hi Jos,
I tried the minimal image[1] with the following command, and it works fine for me via serial console (I did not attach HDMI output to my RPi3. Instead I have serial connected). The configuration wizard shows in serial console as expected, and after I config it I can access my RPi 3.
# sudo fedora-arm-image-installer --addconsole --resizefs --image Fedora-Minimal-30-1.2.aarch64.raw.xz --media /dev/mmcblk0 --target rpi3
Consider RPi3 do not have a lot of memory, and GNOME is memory hungry, I would suggest you to try minimal image, or some other lighweight desktop environment.
HTH.

Thanks, will first try the prebuilt minimal image and otherwise run the arm-installer. Never intended to use GNOME ;-), but I want to test some graphical stuff (standalone browser etc.) so I took the closest starting point.
Thx,
