Look under assets at the bottom of each release? Release 4 is the latest one, it's the file ending in .zst. Just flash that as per the instructions.
OK so I have it downloaded,
When I attempt to use Balena Etcher to flash it to an SD card, Balena Etcher warns me this is NOT a bootable image ?
You have to extract it first. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45355277/how-can-i-decompress-an-archive-file-having-tar-zst
Code:
$ tar -I zstd -xvf archive.tar.zstRE: Fedora + Phosh for PinePhone - bcnaz - 03-23-2020
I tried a few times "NO JOY"

RE: Fedora + Phosh for PinePhone - bcnaz - 03-23-2020
I attempted to install software app that can compress/uncompress the zst file, but somewhere along the line it did not take.
There are other OSes that I can work with and try.
I will watch for this, if they add files " I can 'use' I will try it again then".

I had also a bit of problems with uncompress of this image. The developer should use another file compression instead of zst.

I also had issues decompressing and flashing the image to sdcard, but I managed to get it working:
1. Install and use zstd to decompress image:
Code:
zstd -d fedora-rawhide-aarch64-mobile-04.img.zst2. Use balenaEtcher to flash image to sdcard
I tried using dd to flash the image multiple times, but the sd card wouldn't boot. I flashed using balenaEtcher, and it booted just fine. I'm not sure why, though. I usually use dd, and don't typically bother with graphical image burning software.

My first attempt to flash Fedora also failed. I then flashed it with the Fedora Media Writer tool, that worked very well.

Just a quick update- as you may have noticed, progress has been stalled for a few weeks.
That's because we're moving from...
- the custom COPR repository
- manually starting the kernel
- Megi's 5.6 kernel
To...
- the upstream Fedora 33 repository
- EFI boot (with GRUB! just like your desktop!)
- upstream 5.7 kernel with selected (still necessary) patches
Currently, almost all the packages we need are in Fedora 33, and I have a working kernel build. Once EFI is figured out, I should have another image uploaded.

but
I hope that will be an easier to work/flash download file ?

Thanks for the work. Awesome, I use Fedora for all my systems and look forward to use it on the phone. I might start assisting in the future if my spare-time allows
