Distribution-wide Changes
Official support for Raspberry Pi 4
This Fedora update brings support for Raspberry Pi 4, including 4B, the 400 unit, and the Compute Module (CM) 4 IO Board. All the mentioned models support also accelerated graphics using the V3D GPU for both OpenGL-ES and Vulkan.
Some minor caveats include:
-
Support for WiFi on the Raspberry Pi 400 is out of scope of this change.
-
We tested CM 4 and will support on the official IO board. Other devices that incorporate CM 4 should work correctly provided the vendor has their support in the upstream Raspberry Pi firmware/overlays.
-
The hardware based media decoding (H264/HVEC, and others) are our of scope for this change.
ARMv7 architecture is no longer supported
Fedora 37 drops support for older ARM devices using the ARMv7 (also known as arm32 or armhfp) architecture. Such devices running older Fedora releases will not be able to upgrade, and will not be able to do a fresh Fedora 37 installation.
Fedora Server Edition available as KVM virtual machine disk image
Fedora Server provides now a virtual disk image to greatly facilitate installation of Fedora Server VMs. It allows an immediate installation by either Cockpit administration WEB UI or one of the CLI tools.
The image is optimized for KVM and aims to resemble a default server installation as closely as possible. All administrative tools are available reliably from the beginning, all administrative routines and helps (scripts) can be used in the same way. All application services work the same as in the standard installation.
The server documentation Creating a virtual machine using Fedora Server Edition disk image provides detailed information on installing and using the disk image.
