'''Hello everybody,
I released version 0.1 of my SBR600 project. It is roughly close to what I expected. After several problems in booting system up, I could figure out how to boot the Fedora ARM system. The next step that I am working on that is "dracut". I am looking for a way to create an initial ramdisk image for preloading modules. This can be done by dracut command. After this step, it is the final step which is packaging(I hope).Now, let's see some of my testing result and my explanations on those test.
'''This shows my successful boot on Fedora-ARM:''''''
