Thanks for posting the link. I've used your description with on my 
Wandboard DualLite and it works like a charm (using the imx6dl uboot.imx 
and dtb). Dmesg: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/39690/48270137/

Some issues I have noticed:
- no autoboot (bootcmd and bootdelay are set in uboot, whats missing?)
- no automatic resize of / on the first boot (is that intentional?)
- occasional hang while booting (mentioned elsewhere in this thread)

Does anyone know if bugs have been filed for this already? I do not seem 
to be able to find any.

What are the plans to go forward with this wiki page? Currently it is 
named and written for the Wandboard Quad, but obviously other 
Wandboard(s) work too.

Also, the scripts that Hans de Goede provides in his AllWinner remix 
take care of configuring the bootloader and things, maybe that can be 
used as a base for the other image(s)? I think that providing a common 
way to write/configure images for Fedora ARM where possible is 
preferred?
