Re: [fedora-arm] f23 arm request - uboot through video port

Hi Troy, Well I'll suggest rather than coming out all guns blazing an email that would have been more constructive would have been "Hey, I'd like to see X better supported in F-23, this is what I believe the status to be how can I help improve that?"

So now that we're over the above this is our plans for both F-23, and how to move them back to F-22, open to suggestions and even better patches to help out :-) 1) a means of more easily upgrade u-boot to a newer version in a released image. We had most of this in place for F-22, we're actively planning to push an improved 2015.04 release to F-22, the currently pending blocker to that is the serial/HDMI rant you had above :-) 2) decent HDMI/usb console support with serial fall back, a bunch of SoCs need patches to enable this, they need to be upstreamable 3) more work on distro defaults upstream. We're actively working with upstream maintainers to enable this. 4) enabling work to ensure that new devices with upstream support "just work" without our interaction Believe me we're no lover of a serial only world but the fact is that decent support for a lot of devices has only just landed and there is two of us working on u-boot support in Fedora in 100% of our own time. We're trying to support new devices as fully as we can but sometimes other requirements come and roadtrain us. If you can assist with patches believe me we're happy to accept them, and provide constructive feedback if we feel there's issues. We hang out here on this list and #fedora-arm Peter
