This is a v3.14-rc4 kernel patched with rmk's changes for the Cubox-i. It also includes a .config for Fedora 20 and other minor changes to work on the Cubox-i4Pro
- All 4 Cores and other basics
- Booting from MMC
- Serial Output
- HDMI Output
- eSata
- USB
- Sound (probably S/PDIF only without better X11 driver than fbdev)
- RTC
- Infrared
- Wireless
- Bluetooth
- UHS for mmc0
- fbdev is working for X11, but a better driver would improve performance

initial-setup is blocking login via serial so I disabled it in the example above and set the root password to 'fedora'. If you have HDMI and a keyboard attached there is no need to do either of those things if you want to use initial-setup to do so. You can also do something like below to grow the root partition to use the rest of the card before moving it to the Cubox-i, since it also didn't work properly.
