Architectures/ARM/zh-cn

zh-cn (需要协助整理） = 简介 = ARM芯片是世界上最广泛生产的处理器家族; they have historically been used in cell phones and embedded applications, and are increasingly used in tablet devices and low-power-consumption servers.

Fedora-ARM项目是一个将Fedora移植到这个处理器家族的倡议.

OLD PAGE CONTENTS HERE -- page was renamed from ARM --

= Fedora ARM =

This is the starting page for the Fedora port to the ARM architecture.

Goals and Objectives
The primary goal of this project is to provide support for ARM as a  secondary architecture  in Fedora.

A secondary goal is to enable derivative distributions based on the Fedora package collection and repository that are more suitably optimized for embedded and mobile use-cases.

Native Compilation
Fedora policy requires that packages be natively compiled. We use a cluster of ARM hardware and QEMU virtual machines to build the packages natively for ARM.

CPU and Architecture Target
The baseline ARM CPU architecture that we have chosen to support is ARMv5TE, Little Endian, Soft-Float, EABI. We believe that this provides a nice baseline and that the pre-built packages and root file system images. You should be able to use this on many of the modern ARM CPUs, including XScale, ARM926 and ARM-11, etc.

Although we do not provide such binaries, the sources also lend themselves for building for pre-ARMv5TE hardware. The same is true for big-endian CPUs.

Installer and Kernel
We currently do not plan to provide an installer, ISO images, or a kernel. Unlike in the x86 world, different ARM CPU families require different kernel images. Likewise, it is not entirely clear whether it makes sense to provide an installer or ISO images.

作出贡献
!-- * A list of builds that are failing on ARM architecture is maintained here. It is a good starting point for anyone willing to contribute to the Fedora-ARM project. The list is updated daily. --
 * This is a tracking page for packages requiring patching to build on ARM: Architectures/ARM/Packages_needing_patching
 * We have a TODO list.
 * Have a look at the Credits page
 * Fedora ARM is currently heavily driven by the Seneca Centre for Development of Open Technology (CDOT) at the School of Computer Studies at Seneca College, Toronto. More information about their status can be found in the CDOT ARM wiki

How to get in touch?

 * The Fedora-ARM mailing list is available for both user and developer discussions.
 * We also have an IRC channel #fedora-arm on Freenode.
 * Frequent updates about the effort are available at Paul Whalen's ARM blog
 * Some old postings from November 2009 and earlier are available at the Fedora-ARM blog

If excluding ARM architectures you need to make the bug block F-ExcludeArch-ARM

to see whats currently blocking visit Bugzilla

If a bug is specific to ARM architectures make the bug blocking ARMTracker

to see not yet resolved issues visit Bugzilla

Package Maintainer Notes
As part of setting up to be a package maintainer, you should have run fedora-packager-setup from the fedora-packager rpm. That will write secondary arch config files in ~/.koji. To kick off a build for a package you maintain, run: make SECONDARY_CONFIG="-c ~/.koji/arm-config" build

To kick off a koji scratch build, run: koji -c ~/.koji/arm-config build --scratch dist-f13 /path/to/srpm You can change the dist tag to the dist you want to target.

There is also a separate Fedora ARM Koji Webinterface. -->
