+# SIG/AltArch meeting 2024-01-26
+
+## Attendees
+
+* Neil Hanlon
+* Bryan (codedude)
+* Sherif Nagy
+
+## Follow Ups
+
+* Jan 2024 Uboot - Sherif completed, published 18 Jan
+* RPI5 - Not going great
+  * Fedora can't boot it either, and it's not upstream yet
+  * Kernel is still missing Pi5 DTB
+  * Armbian is working, but they're probably patching the DTB
+  * Skip was working on firmware, not sure of status
+  * Bryan has a working Kernel, but it's hacky and broken... but it works (nominally)
+* SBC Testing
+  * Testing of new Uboot underway
+  * Libre Tritium H5 - works fine
+  * Libre Le Potato - _appears_ that Libre hasn't upstreamed their entire uboot
+    * 2024 uboot, lots of NIC resets; vendor firmware doesn't do this
+      * Fedora “recommends” using vendor uboot for Potato
+    * **Q**: Do we want to recommend Le Potato but with Vendor Uboot for now?
+  * Rock5B/OrangePi uboot patches - not actually working right
+    * thefossguy built a one-off uboot for the OrangePi using an upstream tool (which is possibly proprietary/non-free)
