# 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)
