Description Peter Kotvan 2017-04-20 10:31:44 UTC

Description of problem:
When ARMv7 is selected, there is no information about supported hardware. There are plenty of arm hardware each with its specific boot process that need to be considered during the installation.

See fedora arm installer [1] and the supported boards.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mediawriter-4.0.95-1.fc26.x86_64

Comment 1 Peter Kotvan 2017-04-20 10:57:10 UTC

I've written the arm image and tried to boot it on my Banana Pi without success. It probably isn't supported.

Comment 2 Martin Bříza 2017-04-20 11:04:36 UTC

FMW supports only the platforms where vanilla raw images are supported. These are, as far as I know, only Raspberry Pi 2 and 3. I will add a dropdown where the user will be able to choose which image should be written, however so far only with Raspberry Pis (and maybe other boards that support vanillla Fedora images).
