Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

CentOS Stream and Raspberry Pi
Correct. It does not as shipped. However, the use of this project will bring the firmware into system ready spec, so it can boot with a standard aarch64 UEFI image: https://github.com/pftf/RPi4

What is the most trusted hardware most OpenBSD people would suggest?
are you using the uefi firmware from https://github.com/pftf/RPi4 or are you trying to boot through the gpio serial header?I don't think the pi can boot on its own through uboot unless your using a serial/usb connection

Kernel Updates Installed but not Loading
Looks like you can use Grub on UEFI ARM systems, but Raspberry Pi isn't natively running UEFI. https://github.com/pftf/RPi4

Flatcar Container Linux
The rpi4 has uefi firmware available, this allows you to boot any generic uefi aarch64 image, you no longer need rpi specific images.

Does NetBSD 9.3 work on the RaspberryPi 4?
Straight out of the box, the image wouldn't boot, said that start.elf was invalid, so I went to https://github.com/pftf/RPi4/releases as suggested in the Readme.md file in the EFI partition. I installed that (version 1.34) over the existing EFI partition and tried again. That booted up the kernel, but it apparently died when it enabled the interrupt controller. The last messages are about armgic0.

How can I dual boot Fedora on Pi4?
You can use these firmware images for UEFI as well as install with the arm ISO. I didn't have graphics acceleration that way, but it might be an easy fix.

Orange Pi 5: 8-core CPU 2.4GHz, up to 32GB DDR4, $60 preorders ship Dec. 1
I'm guessing these are not SystemReady certified with UEFI firmware and require "bespoke" preinstalled arm images?
https://www.arm.com/architecture/system-architectures/system...
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102677/0100/UEFI-req...
I have three SystemReady arm devices and it's pretty awesome to be able to just boot an aarch64 live ISO and install. The experience is the same for running vms via ESXi arm edition.

RPI4 - https://github.com/pftf/RPi4
It can be tedious building/provisioning the firmware but once complete they are ready for any aarch64 uefi iso.
What is annoying however is when distros don't ship an aarch64 uefi iso - but instead choose to build a zillion device specific "preinstalled" arm images. (looking at you manjaro)
The list of supported devices for ESXi arm edition is a great place to start for identifying options and is constantly updated.

[Aarch64] Help creating a generic image that boots on the Raspberry Pi 4
The only reason why I am was trying to build the image was because I wanted to move stuff as mainline as possible and was worried that any installation made with the help of RPi4 UEFI firmware would stop booting after a while.

I have come to bury the BIOS, not to open it: The need for holistic systems
Most ARM hardware is cellphones, raspberry pi and the Mac M1, which certainly aren't that type.
But a lot of ARM hardware is that type. The keywords are SBSA / SBBR / SystemReady. If your hardware is SBBR compatible then Fedora and Ubuntu's ARM64 iso, and Windows ARM64, downloaded from their website, will at least boot fine (drivers are a different question as always).
There's a good list of supported hardware in the lower half of https://community.arm.com/arm-community-blogs/b/architecture... . Many systems from Avantek, Gigabyte, NXP, Marvell, Solidrun etc are standardizing on this way of booting.
DeviceTree is low-level enough that you can implement UEFI on top of it. There's a UEFI port for the Raspberry Pi 4 at https://rpi4-uefi.dev/ that produces an SBBR layer, allowing it to boot any off-the-shelf ARM64 SBBR distro.

Future of 32-bit platform support in FreeBSD
For the modern server/desktop and even laptop, that's also no bad thing. It is somewhat ridiculous that UEFI bioses, internally, still boot in 16-bit real mode and have to do all the steps your bios bootloader used to do to set up a 64-bit environment ready to go: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/edc6681206c1a8791981a..., https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/edc6681206c1a8791981a..., https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/edc6681206c1a8791981a...
Why not just start the CPU in "long mode", which is what everyone is using it for, in the first place?
These newer ARM processors support 32-bit code at EL0 only (userspace). That seems like a reasonable approach for x86 as well and the freebsd announcement has this to say:
> There is currently no plan to remove support for 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels.
So for the moment, you can run 32-bit applications just fine.

AMD to move to open source firmware in 2026
From there you'll need to get an EFI Shell. There may be one built into your system, but you can also get one here from Tianocore (aka, the people mostly making UEFI). Neither this EFI Shell nor Keytool.efi (the thing you need to load the keys) are signed of course, so you will need to turn off SecureBoot to continue. From there just run Keytool with your new keys, turn back on SecureBoot, and move on with your life.

Windows installation doesn't boot up when I try to use UEFI firmware
I had the same issue. What fixed it for me was compiling my own OVMF.fd file from here and using that to boot. The version of OVMF that shipped with fedora was broken for me for some reason.
