== [ARM] Fedora15 HardFP Bootstrap Virtual FAD - 2011/06/22 ==
We wish to accelerate the bringup of [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Fedora15_HardFP_Bootstrap Fedora 15 on ARMv7 systems running with hardware floating point (hardfp)]. To that end, we are running regular bootstrap days, during which we will meet in a virtual capacity (on IRC, and over the phone) to build up through cross-compilation (and other means) the core packages required for Fedora 15 to become self-hosting on ARMv7 with hardware floating point.

== When and Where ==

* Recap from the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Fedora15_HardFP_Bootstrap_Virtual_FAD_20110610 June 10th Fedora Activity Day]
* Approach to today's activities is to continue with the instructions in [[Architectures/ARM/Fedora15 HardFP Bootstrap|
Architectures/ARM/Fedora15 HardFP Bootstrap]] (make sure you do your work on a armv7hl-YOUR_FAS_USERNAME or a group named branch so that we can track who is doing what and back out changes if we discover a problem with your setup later, etc.)
* Summary of events and plan for next VFAD
* Plan is for the next event to be in a regular Friday slot (perhaps Friday afternoons?)

== Requirements ==
* Internet connection to log into IRC, and phone if possible (phone not essential)
* A supported ARMv7 target board
* Lots of coffee

== Setup ==
* A pre-requisite is a working ARMv7-compatible supported target board, such as a BeagleBoard or a PandaBoard.
** You can find out more from the main Fedora ARM pages about obtaining a pre-built rootfs (no installer yet)
** We now have some [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/Fedora_ARM_Kernels Fedora ARM kernel packages] for OMAP-based boards

* Follow the instructions for setting up a chroot using the [[Architectures/ARM/Fedora15 HardFP Bootstrap|
Architectures/ARM/Fedora15 HardFP Bootstrap]] armv7hl rootfs in the Fedora ARM git repository (make sure you do your work on a armv7hl-YOUR_FAS_USERNAME or a group named branch so that we can track who is doing what and back out changes if we discover a problem with your setup later, etc.)
