Rock64 removed, why?

[agharta agharta]

Hi all,
Why Rock64 board has been removed from supported HW?
The commit date is 2020-06-26,
https://pagure.io/arm-image-installer/c/21c1c9a162332f0a841b0097e61f8959b...

No more way to install Fedora on Rock64?

Many thanks, 
Agharta

It didn't work previously, it was purely an incorrect line item in a text file.

The way we'll be supporting the Rock64 is to write the U-Boot to the
onboard SPI flash and then there's no need to have specific support
for writing out firmware to disk in the arm-image-installer process.

Just to be aware there are users that need to disable said spi flash
for GPIO/SPIDEV uses so this would not be an option for them.

You can put more than one device on a SPI bus.

Also we can't possibly cater for every possible outcome so if those
individuals wish to assist in improving the situation they are very
welcome to come and engage and participate.

Oh I totally agree there is no one size fits all, just a general
awareness comment.

Hi all,

In my stupid vision I think that an ln -s can solve all.

Mi final target is to run Fedora on this sbc. This ticket resolves me 
the problem.

https://pagure.io/arm-image-installer/issue/52

So a ln -s rock64 rock64-rk3328 inside 
/usr/share/arm-image-installer/boards.d can be a solution.

Let me knows Your ideas and forgive me, I'm not familiar with spi.


Many thanks to all.

Best regards,

Agharta
