Fedora 44 bootc on the Raspberry Pi 5: Status Update (Still Partially Supported)

Fri, 13 Nov 2026 20:55:27 +0530

Long Story Short

Fedora 44 is a big step up from Fedora 42 on the Raspberry Pi 5. The install process is still the same, and it supports the Pi well. The main limit is still the UEFI to VideoCore translation layer, but the base OS clearly has potential.

What’s Changed With Fedora 44

Same install steps as before: build disk.raw, flash it with dd, add the firmware to the EFI partition, and boot.
Fedora 44 boots and runs well on the Pi 5.
The UEFI to VideoCore translation layer still limits what works.

Starting a Hummingbird Image for RPi5

I started working on a Raspberry Pi 5 compatible Fedora Hummingbird bootc image. The goal is simple: get hummingbird-bootc running on the Pi 5.

Getting Fedora bootc to Boot on a Raspberry Pi 5 (and Where It Breaks)

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 11:52:02 +0530

Long Story Short

I tried running a Fedora 42 bootc image on a Raspberry Pi 5. It’s a partial success, but I got far enough to learn a lot. The Pi 5 boots and I can log in, but the stock kernel can’t see the Ethernet chip, the Wi-Fi chip, or most other drivers. Only the USB ports work.

How I Installed Fedora 42 bootc into RPi5?

Built an ARM64 disk.raw image with bootc-image-builder from Raspberry Pi 5 itself. (I know QEMU exists, but I couldn’t get it working due to my lack of knowledge with QEMU) *shrugs
Flashed it on an SD Card with dd.
Added the community EDK2 UEFI firmware (rpi5-uefi to the EFI partition, next to the existing EFI/ folder.
Booted the Pi5 and reached a Fedora 42 Login. (partially successful).

Fedora Project is fortunate enough to secure a booth at DevConf India in Pune. Akashdeep Dhar, Samyak Jain, Shounak Dey & myself attended DevConf India representing Fedora Project. The booth was a success, we also attracted a lot of new comers and those who are in their early phase in open source. Most of the visitors were college students and early in their career. We also had Matthew Miller’s talk which attracted so many people and the room was filled with lot of people as well.

Customizing the Logo

The process of customizing the logo is pretty much simple and straightforward. The logos are stored inside assets/ directory. In order to change the logo,

Replace the logo.svg with the custom logo (do the same for changing the favicon.svg as well).
Run the command in root directory of forgejo/*:

make generate-images

This process will generate the assets for logo inside the assets/* directory. Keep in mind that changing the logo just by renaming it won’t work!
