== Project Description ==

<!-- Description should be no longer than a paragraph.  Include links to any relevant on-line resources.  For example, [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki] or [http://developer.mozilla.org MDC]. -->
Various ARM devices need different driver sets and/or kernels. This project will test the Fedora-ARM system on the [http://pandaboard.org/ PandaBoard], creating a kernel that works well with it, and figuring out how to use as many of the built-in peripherals as possible.

== Project Leader ==

<!-- Name(s) of primary people working on the project.  If you want to join a project as leader, discuss with other leaders first.  Include links to personal pages within wiki and to blog sites. -->

== Project Contributor(s) ==

== Project Details ==

<!-- Provides more depth than the Project Description.  This is the place for technical discussions, project specs, or other details.  If this gets very long, you might consider breaking this part into multiple pages and linking to them. -->


Begin with research into the Pandaboard form factor and what drivers are required for it. Also learn about other projects for putting Linux on Pandaboard: Ubuntu, Linux Minimal, and Android. Finally, build a kernel with as many of the on-board peripherals as possible working.

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:
<!-- Note: each contributor is expected to have unique goals. These goals may be ''related'' to other students' work, but must be ''distinct'' and ''attainable'' regardless of the state of the other students' work. For example, under the umbrella of one project title, one student may work on packaging a piece of software and another may work on documentation, or one may work on solving one bug and another on solving another bug, but two students must not work on the same bug or depend on the other students' work in order to be able to complete their own project. -->
* 0.1 Initial research into the Pandaboard and required drivers 
* 0.2 Bootable kernel, initial documentation
* 0.3 A kernel (or kernels) for use with the PanadaBoard and the Fedora 12 or Fedora 13 root filesystems; user documentation on how to set up the PandaBoard with Fedora; wiki notes on setting up other ARM devices
