Is there a way of monitoring CPU temperature for Fedora aarch64 RPI 5 yet, please?

RPI5 headless Fedora 43 build updates etc.
by David Legg 14 Jan '26

So, thanks to Peter Robinson for providing this FC43 image: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/initial-minimal-fedora-image-for-ras… I installed it on my 2022 RPI5 and dropped in a copy of the missing |/etc/sysconfig/kernel file as per Simon de Vlieger's comment lower down on the same page:| |<code>| |# UPDATEDEFAULT specifies if kernel-install should make # new kernels the default UPDATEDEFAULT=yes # DEFAULTKERNEL specifies the default kernel package type DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-core </code>| |I updated the FC43 with a dnf update to the latest Fedora 43 - aarch64 and Copr repo for a64-kernel (owned by pbrobinson).| |The RPI5 now boot with an updated kernel by default:| |<code>| |Linux nas5 6.18.3-200.fc43.aarch64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Jan 2 20:14:24 UTC 2026 aarch64 GNU/Linux </code> which is great.| |I was able to turn my 5V fan on using:| |gpioset -z -c gpiochip4 17=1| |So, things are looking pretty positive for building a headless NAS with a couple of RAIDed SATA disks. I have a few questions, though.| |1. Doing init 0 or init 6 does nothing except cause the message 'Excess arguments.' to appear in the debug/UART console. systemctl reboot works fine, but should I be worried about that error message?| |2. The command gpioinfo shows that all the 400 pin header signals have moved to:| |gpiochip4 - 54 lines: line 0: unnamed input line 1: unnamed input line 2: unnamed input line 3: unnamed input line 4: unnamed input line 5: unnamed input line 6: unnamed input line 7: unnamed input line 8: unnamed input line 9: unnamed input line 10: unnamed input line 11: unnamed input line 12: unnamed input line 13: unnamed input line 14: unnamed input line 15: unnamed input line 16: unnamed input line 17: unnamed output consumer="gpioset"| |etc.| |The naming of GPIOs seems to be broken. I'm nto sure if this matters at all. Obviously, my previous commands like this no longer work:| |gpioset -z -c gpiochip4 GPIO17=1| |And gpiochip0 has changed to gpiochip4, of course. But the functionality seems ok.| |Is the user interface to libgpiod stable, or is it likely to change in the near future?| |3. Is booting from an NVMe on the PCIe interface likely to work in the near future? This would be a great improvement on having to use uSD cards.| |Anyway, many thanks to those who have worked so hard to get FC43 aarch64 on RPI5 this far.| |:D| | |

Call for Fedora 44 Test Days
by awilliam＠redhat.com 06 Jan '26

06 Jan '26

The Fedora 44 schedule [1] is winding up, and it's time we started thinking about what we'd want to have test days for. There are several changes accepted already for F44, and the window for proposals is still open so more may come. You can find the list of accepted Changes here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/44/ChangeSet Please take some time and look through the list and see if there's anything you'd be interested in testing - or if there's something you think should get some testing that isn't in the ChangeSet! For those of you not familiar with them, test days are online events aimed at testing a specific feature of an upcoming Fedora release. We organize the event in a ticket, provide a Wiki page with instructions, and have a page on the testdays webapp [2] for reporting results. During the event, folks can compare notes and ask for help in the Matrix chat room [3]. Anyone can request to host test days or request that the QA team help you out with organizing. Test days can be run for any feature or area of a distribution that focused testing would be useful for. We use the name "test days" as it's been around for a while, but many events run for more than a single day, now, to allow more time for folks to test. More information on test days can be found in the wiki [4]. To propose a test day, file a ticket on Pagure (for now): https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/new_issue You can look at existing issues with the test day tag [5] to get an idea how the ticket can look; please include details on what topic you want to cover, and an idea of what dates you would like to hold it. You can also look at the SOP for hosting a test day [6]. If you have any questions about test days or the process, please don't hesitate to contact me or any other Quality team member on Matrix [3] or respond on the test list. Thanks and happy testing!
