Google has failed me. Can I run Fedora on a Le Potato? If so, what target do I use?
Anything I need to do before writing the image?
I plan to use eMMC if I can get it cheap enough due to the failure rate of SD cards.
Thanks, Richard
I doubt it.
ARM doesn't have a standardized layout for BIOS, memory maps etc.
So you can't build ARN distros under the assumption they will work like a PC with a AMD or Intel processor.

May not be with the bandwidth but found what OP are talking about
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libre_Computer_Project has columns for software Lots of Nos But availability Where RPiLocator.com Isn't finding either. Some RPi3A+ hit lockers at MicroCenter but I missed them...

I didn't want to post the link since it's US centric but if it helps:

So it doesn't look like the DT is upstream, but LibreComputer used to do a very good firmware that likely provides an appropriate firmware. I'm not sure of the recent state of their firmwares. We don't currently build firmware for amlogic devices because "It's complicated".
But if the LibreComputer have a quality firmware for the Le Potato it likely should just work as we have the vast majority of the kernel side enabled, if there's something missing from the kernel that will be easy enough to fix.

I confirm I'm running Fedora on another device ("la frite", still amlogic, but older soc).
After manually updating the firmware, I was able to run Fedora, as is, on the device. I don't know for sure with "le potato"
Hope this helps
