Hello, There are some messages on this group about running Fedora on the Wand Board; however, no images are available to download for the Wand Board on the Fedora page. Are there plans to officially support the Wand Board, which is based on the Cortex-A9? I have the impression that the hardware support is going to be better for that board in the long run than the Panda Board with Cortex-A9. These embedded Linux boards are just lightning fast. For instance, the audio drivers on the Panda Board are in really bad shape, and I doubt that they are going to be fixed so that they work properly now that TI has laid off their OMAP4 engineers. (By bisecting kernel versions, I was able to get ALSA audio to start 75% of the time on the Panda Board, but always only at 96kHz. For my colleagues and myself, 75% of the time really is not good enough.) I just got a Wand Board quad, and using an SD card image, I was able to get audio up and running very fast. However, I really would prefer to use Fedora :) Any thoughts? Cheers.

Hello, Thanks for your response! Great -- I will try out f20. Who can I email to bug them about releasing the HDMI driver? Would the Wandboard mailing list be the right place to do that? Or is it Freescale?
