How to install Fedora Linux onto Wandboard
1. Download a Fedora Linux for ARM image.
2. Install fedora-arm-installer:
dnf install fedora-arm-installer
3. Write the image to SD card, not forgetting to set the console to serial port:
fedora-arm-image-installer \
--image=Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-25-1.3-sda.raw.xz \
--target=wandboard \
--media=/dev/sdc \
--addconsole
Just in case, mount /dev/sdc2 and check that $SDC2/extlinux/extlinux.conf contains the 'console=ttymxc0,115200' kernel parameter.
4. To fix the firmware for WiFi not loading, download the .txt file as instructed here - https://www.digikey.com/eewiki/display/linuxonarm/Wandboard - and put it in /usr/lib/firmware/brcm/*.
5. To fix NetworkManager not able to control WiFi, install WPA Supplicant: `sudo dnf install wpa_supplicant`.
