[RFE] support u-boot based armv7/aarch64 targets
The current way to install Fedora on aarch64 platforms is to download an ISO and use arm-image-installer to install it.
AFAIK, Media Writer just writes the Fedora ISO to a drive like dd would do it. arm-image-installer does the same, but also allows you to select a supported device, write the corresponding u-boot build and device tree to it, and provides some small tweaks (disable SELinux) as options.
There's already an option for armv7 builds in Media Writer, but it doesn't seem to do any of that required work to actually get the image to boot :(
It would be nice to support installing to u-boot targets (like the Raspberry Pi, Pinebook, PinePhone, etc.) from a GUI.
Oops, looks like my version of Media Writer was 3 years old. The new version lists Aarch64 as a target, but incorrectly does not list the Workstation, Server, and Minimal spins in the list, and still does not support writing u-boot bins.
