Thanks Peter.
From the Arm PoV that statement is still mostly correct, but
it's
nuanced as there's group that is focusing on some of those devices. I
think there will be a focus in that group on actively open phones, I
still wouldn't expect your average locked down consumer phone to be a
focus.
Do you mean tha Librem 5 is not "open" enough?
So there is now a new group [1] that is actively looking at phones
and
tablets, in particular the PinePhone and the PineTab. This is the
right mailing list to discuss and there's also an IRC channel
#fedora-phone too.
I missed this piece, I focused on aarch64.
Is this SIG communicating with the Purism team?
All the pieces for that device are enabled in the Fedora kernel, we
don't build a boot firmware for any i.MX8 stuff ATM because basically
"it's complicated". I'm aware of a number of i.MX8 devices that do
work once there's an appropriate firmware in place.
Good news, I suppose...
There's active work around the Phosh phone graphical environment.
Nice, is there something about Plasma Mobile?
So in short most of the pieces are in place, I'm not aware of
anyone
that's actually tested one of those devices as yet but there was
certainly interest.
I've some experience in building Fedora images (I'm the maintainer of
[1]) on x86, but arm is a different game.
I'm still investigating, but I'd like to boot a Fedora on this device
(like I do in my PCs).
Phone is not a priority for me, but convergence is a good point.
