This is a tracking bug for Change: Allwinner sunxi (A10 / A13 / A20) ARM SoC support For more details, see: http://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/AllwinnerSunxiSupport Allwinner A10 / A13 / A20 SoCs are used in a number of popular low cost arm development boards and arm mini computers. Currently Fedora ARM is supported on these devices through a Remix. Allwinner kernel support is progressing rapidly upstream, and with this upstream kernel support it should be possible to support Allwinner SoCs in the official Fedora ARM images, without the need for a remix.
I wanted to try out the support for Allwinner SoCs on an Olimex A20-OLinuXino-MICRO board using u-boot-sunxi from https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi. The dtb for this board is included in the Fedora rawhide ARM images I used. Unfortunately, after u-boot's "Starting kernel ..." message, the board hangs. It also doesn't get registered in my network although it's connected to ethernet, so the problem seems to be more than just missing console output. This is unless I build my own kernel using sunxi_defconfig: this way I could at least get to "Welcome to Fedora 21 (Rawhide) dracut-037-11.git20140402.fc21 (Initramfs)!", but ran into problems when it came to loading kernel modules. So here's my question: What is your testing setup? Which version of u-boot do you use, and are there any specific F21 ARM images that you were able to boot on an Olimex Allwinner board?
This is a feature enhancement BZ not the place to ask for specific board support, please take the question to the mailing list.

The necessary kernel and uboot changes are available in rawhide now, moving to modified.

Moved back to ON_QA - I prefer not to use Changes tracking bugs as bug fixed in Bodhi.

I have drafted a F21 release notes entry for this change. Please take a look at https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/docs/release-notes.git/tree/en-US/ARM.xml and let me know whether it is OK or I need to change or add anything. Thanks.

You may want to add a note that, unlike in the remix, video (hdmi) output is not supported yet and that people should use a serial console instead.
Thank you for your feedback, Hans. I have followed your suggestion and added a note about there being no HDMI support yet. https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/docs/release-notes.git/tree/en-US/ARM.xml
