[fedora-arm] Any got Fedora on Freescale i.MX53QS?
Hi, I was looking over at Linaro.org and saw them recommend Freescale's i.MX53 Quick Start board [1] Then I looked at the list of ARM boards with Fedora 18 and the Remix list and didn't see Freescale mentioned. Anyone done any Fedora work on that board? Their Code Warrior setup for their boards is nice. So I was considering one of these boards. Thoughts?

Re: [fedora-arm] Any got Fedora on Freescale i.MX53QS?
Thanks Peter, The iMX6 device looks sweet for a home computer! I might look into one of those. But I'll also take a longer look at the new BeagleBone and may wait for it. I had been looking at the Beagleboard-XM.

Re: [fedora-arm] BeagleBone original
Mine died. I put in for a RMA but have heard nothing back. It looks like it might have messed up any flash memory it might have. I.e it seems to load the BIOS, cause I can get a terminal open on it, but it won't boot - so maybe a driver for the SD card is corrupt or something? I even re-imaged the SD card and also tried a Fedora image on a separate card. Won't boot. I'm considering the new beaglebone.

Are you sure you decompressed the SD card image you were writing? I > suspect you likely had some issue writing the SD card. The board went from working and booting (Angstrom) on my desk to failing and not booting on my desk. So I don't suspect any physical damage. I followed the websites instructions on re-imaging the card. All I get in the terminal is the 'C' characters showing up. Pressing the reset button provides more 'C's. So it went from fully working to not booting without physically moving on my desk.
