Just took delivery of a Qualcomm Dragonboard 410c (https:\/\/developer.qualcomm.com\/hardware\/dragonboard-410c<\/a>) :<\/p>\n

\"Dragonboard<\/a>

Dragonboard 410c<\/p><\/div>\n

The unit is based on a ‘standard’ (96Boards<\/em>) design, with a few quirks..\u00a0\u00a0 The device uses fastboot rather than U-Boot, and in this respect is more like flashing a custom ROM on a cellphone!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It even has on-board volume up\/down buttons..<\/p>\n

There is no Ethernet built-in, so I will be attaching a USB\/Ethernet dongle..\u00a0\u00a0 A UART connection is on the board, but it is 1.8v instead of the more common 3.3v.\u00a0\u00a0 There is a 1.8v USB\/UART connector available from another supplier, and I have one on order, along with a 12v DC power supply….<\/p>\n

Android is pre-installed, but I will – of course – be installing Linux..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There is a Ubuntu<\/em> boot\/install image available, and I will be replacing the root filesystem etc. with a Fedora 22 one, and then recompiling my own Kernel, as usual..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This process will be similar to the time I booted the Odroid U3 for the first time..<\/p>\n

There are ‘official’ Fedora 22 aarch64 install images available, but these appear to be for EFI boot, for servers. \u00a0\u00a0 I did manage to find a raw<\/em> disk image, including a root fs, at: https:\/\/dmarlin.fedorapeople.org\/fedora-arm\/aarch64\/builder\/<\/a><\/p>\n

I will post more details when I have all the parts, and get the system up and running..<\/p>\n
