i.MX515 Project
Support Fedora on i.MX515

in category Linux Distributions
proposed by Dan Horak on 9th October 2009 (accepted on 8th October 2009)

Project Summary
I am a long time Fedora contributor participating in the so-called secondary architectures in Fedora like IBM mainframes (s390x), ARM, SPARC and recently also PPC. My goal in the ARM area is to show how to run Fedora on real devices like recently the ARM-based NAS made by QNAP and maintain the required kernels and ramdisk. The biggest issue here is the variability between all the ARM platforms - many kernel variants, booting methods, different flash memory sizes, etc.

  Fedora/ARM on Efika MX - part 1
posted by Dan Horak on 11th December 2009

Yesterday I received a package that contained a new ARM-based hardware - an Efika MX Developer Edition as a part of the developer program run by PowerDeveloper.org. My project is to run Fedora/ARM on it and after obtaining HDMI-DVI cable and EU power cord I could first start it up. The work has begun :-)
