We should have a test day for ARM Support In FMW
Change Set : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ArmSupportInFmw
With ARM (ARMv7A) being one of the primary architectures of Fedora, we should support writing the images to bootable media for devices with this architecture.
This means Fedora Media Writer will have to list the ARM images, offer their download and be able to unpack them reliably (as they're shipped LZMA-compressed - .xz). Memory card support should be improved, especially in terms of reading drive information - many SD card drivers report wrong names, sizes and media presence.
This will come along with many more features in FMW, such as fullscreen screenshot preview, automatic FMW update check on Windows and Mac, better reliability and performance improvements.
The name of the test day just Fedora Media Writer test day because the ARM part could drive people off (a lot of people don't have raspberry pis or disposable sd cards). We should probably test writing a regular Fedora ISO downloaded by FMW, some custom ISO selected by the user and an ARM image. The ISO images can be verified by using checkisomd5. The ARM images could probably be tested in KVM with QEMU or on the actual hardware of course. The proposed date for this test day is 2017-04-20
