    Raspberry Pi 4 UEFI Firmware Images

  • I have a Raspberry Pi, and wanted to distro-hop (because why not). Due to the Raspberry Pi not having a "standard interface" (akin to UEFI/BIOS), I realised that my options for Operating Systems were limited. So I went on looking to get *EFI working on Rpi and came across this GitHub repository by PFTF (Pi Firmware Task Force).

  • linux

    Kernel source tree for Raspberry Pi-provided kernel builds. Issues unrelated to the linux kernel should be posted on the community forum at https://forums.raspberrypi.com/ (by raspberrypi)

  • Recently, I dd-ed Fedora-Server-36-1.5.aarch64.raw.xz (from here) and it worked! I noticed that it was running the mainline kernel (obviously with some distro-specific patches, but nothing "taken" from raspberry/linux.git unless already in Torvald's tree) along with Das U-boot.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
