ARMv7hl

Hardware	Serial Console	USB	Wired Network	Display	Wi-Fi	Bluetooth	Audio	Notes
Arndale	pass	pass	pass				pass	Recommended image: Minimal
Banana Pi	pass	pass	pass	fail	warn	none	none	Recommended image: Minimal Wireless device shows up but the signal is poor, results may vary.
BeagleBoneBlack	none	none	none	none	none	none	none	Recommended image:
BeagleBoneWhite	pass	pass	pass					Recommended image: Minimal. To run dnf a swapfile is required. Partition 1 needs to be moved forward to write U-boot.
Cubietruck	pass	pass	pass	pass	warn	none	none	Recommended image: Server or Minimal Wireless device shows up but the signal is poor, results may vary.
Pandaboard	pass	pass	pass	pass			none	Recommended image: Xfce or Minimal
Raspberry Pi 2	pass	pass	pass	pass			pass	Recommended image: Xfce, Server, Minimal or Fedora IoT Edition. Desktop images require 'cma=192M' added to kargs
Raspberry Pi 3	pass	pass	pass	pass	pass	none	pass	Recommended image: Xfce, Server, Minimal or Fedora IoT Edition. Desktop images require 'cma=192M' added to kargs
Raspberry Pi 4	pass	pass	pass	pass	pass	fail	fail	Recommended image: Xfce, Server, Minimal or Fedora IoT Edition. The Raspberry Pi 4 needs to be limited to 1Gb of RAM to boot the armhfp disk images initially- this also stops USB from working so you will need to SSH to the machine to install the kernel-lpae package. The RAM limitation can then be removed and USB should work.
Raspberry Pi 400	warn	pass	pass	pass			fail	Recommended image: Xfce, Server, Minimal or Fedora IoT Edition. The RPi400 fails to boot with the kernel provided dtb. To boot successfully delete the symlink '/boot/dtb'.
Jetson TK1	none	none	none	none	none	none	none	Recommended image:
Wandboard Quad	pass	pass	fail	pass			none	Recommended image: Xfce or Minimal. Desktop images require 'cma=192M' added to kargs

• Desktop image requires 'cma=192M' added to kargs

Tips & Tricks

This section includes various tips and tricks used to tweak performance on arm systems.

• Disable modularity:

  sed -i 's/enabled=1/enabled=0/' /etc/yum.repos.d/fe*mod*

• Don’t install weak dependencies:

  echo "install_weak_deps=False" >> /etc/dnf/dnf.conf

• Disable dnf makecache:

  systemctl disable dnf-makecache; systemctl mask dnf-makecache
