+ == UEFI for ARMv7 devices
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ In previous releases, Fedora used `extlinux` to boot the kernel on ARMv7-based systems.
|
| |
+ This allowed Fedora to standardize the boot process due to most ARMv7 devices being able to use `extlinux` out of the box due to being supported in various `u-boot` releases. However, `u-boot` support for UEFI has significantly improved in recent years, and starting with Fedora 30, the UEFI provided by `u-boot` is considered stable enough to be used with ARMv7 systems.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ This change allows Fedora on ARMv7 systems to use `grub2`, providing ARMv7 users an experience similar to other architectures. It also simplifies a number of software stacks across the distribution due to being able to provide a unified installation/upgrade/support path across architectures.
