I cannot get the 4 SFP+ ports on my Honeycomb to work at all using Fedora 37

Kernel6.1.9-200.fc37.aarch64
Grub ConfigGRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iommu.passthrough=1 arm-smmu.disable_bypass=0" GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true

Thanks for this great guide! I'm wondering weather the LX2K can be booted with only open-source firmare + software because I believe this is important for anybody's security. So far, I have had no luck finding any information on the subject. If U-boot is necessary for this, are there any drawbacks in GPU compatibility? Currently I'm using a rockpro64 and I'm overall pleasantly surprised with how well it works, but also not happy with the memory limitation. Most of the time I'm using swap, which is not good for my ssd. Also some recent changes to steam / box64 have increased the minimum memory so steam is no longer possibly.

Hi @Wooty-B,
I'm running Fedora 35 per your guide on the LX2K, and I noticed that you are running box86 in an armhf chrooted environment.
I wondered if you had that on your radar?

If not, I will document my steps and PR the guide.

Hello, is there somewhere in the official https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/ repository merge request with this patch?

Was there any effort to upstream it?

i'm using an rockchip rk3588 with Mali-G610 MC4 as GPU on Debian 11. octa-core and 32gb RAM.

it is possible to run steam and thedarkmod?

People have problem finding what type of coolers they need to look for to improve cooling of HoneyComb.

Discord lists several northbridge coolers with links to stores. Maybe consider adding those to the guide? With pictures.
