Fedora 19 ARM Beta

This is the latest Fedora 19 Beta Release Candidate for the ARM architecture and marks a significant milestone for Fedora on ARM. There two images available for the Beta, one for use in OMAP platforms the other for use in the Trimslice and Exynos5 hardware platforms.

For Trimslice(kernel-tegra)

IMPORTANT
You must use a Device Tree enabled Uboot to boot the Fedora 19 Trimslice image. Failure to do so will result in a non-booting system.

Download the image for use in the Trimslice:

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/19-Beta/Images/armhfp/Fedora-armhfp-19-Beta-1-sda.raw.xz

Copy the image to the intended media:

xzcat Fedora-armhfp-19-Beta-1-sda.raw.xz > /dev/<location-of-your-media> 

Insert into the Trimslice and boot. There is no root password required initially - this something you should change right away.

Once the system is booted there is a little clean up required. First remove the unneeded kernels:

yum remove kernel kernel-lpae
