Pi5 can directly load the Linux kernel, I would not use u-boot. But if you do, what messages are there? And what bootmeth for example?Hello,
Anyone has any idea what it takes to boot a Pi 5 on Fedora with patched kernel without video, audio, camera, USB and wireless support? I just need boot, CPU and wired ethernet to work.
(Yes I know rpmfusion has Fedora images with downstream kernel, but I'd like to use the upstream one)
I recompiled the Fedora kernel by applying patches I generated from the diff between it and 6by9's kernel from the "mainline_6_11_rp1" branch.
Since Fedora uses u-boot I also installed the latest one (uboot-images-armv8-2024.10-1.fc42.noarch).
That is still insufficient for the Pi 5 to boot. My Pi 3 still boots, that is where I try to prepare the SD card.
And is that u-boot build able to operate a Pi5 good enough, why should it if kernel and UEFI can't?
'2024.10-1' is likely not as up to date as stuff in Pi5 kernel 6.6.51 +rpt3 or so.
I would also not use/compile Fedora kernel but sources directly from kernel.org. And 'add support for pi5' in .config, that should be it. Otherwise it is no real mainline.
