Okay, here's a stupid question: Can one upgrade an ARM box (Wandboard, in my case) from Fedora 20 to Fedora 21 using yum? The standard Fedora pages have an empty "ARM" section so it's unclear if there are just no issues or if nobody has tested it.
For my new boxes (I just acquired 3 new ones) I'll just install F21 at the start, but I do have some older systems running F20 that I'd like to upgrade without reflashing the full microSD.
Thanks,

I've done it 100s of times! There is no ARM section because it's and architecture agnostic process. Just use:

I wasn't sure if, e.g., I needed to update uboot as well?

You don't "need" to, if it boots it boots. If you wish to (for example sunxi users would probably like console on HDMI) you can just dd it out from the running OS for the appropriate device and reboot.
