A number of devices like Xilinx ZYNQ based devices such as the 96boards Ultra96 and the Intel based UP² have onboard FPGAs. FPGA manager is a vendor-neutral framework that has been upstream in the kernel since 4.4. This is the initial support for FPGAs in Fedora using open source vendor agnostic tools.
+1
I'm +1 but the change page doesn't really describe what/how the change will be implemented. It basically just says "magical FPGA support!" and the only detail I can see is "kernel and userspace changes".
How is a user supposed to know what to do/use to get access to their FPGA? Are there drivers they need to load, specific userspace packages they need to install?
I too would like a better description of what's actually being done on the Change page, but otherwise I'm +1 to this change.
After seven days, I count the vote as (+6,0) and will mark this change accepted for F29.
Announced in 2018-08-06 meeting.
