Hello:
I have been using CentOS Userland armv7hl for a while now on the officially supported boards. Is there any support at all or any way to run it on a Raspberry Pi 1 board? In particular the Raspberry Pi 1 model B. I haven't been able to find any information, and not sure what the official answer is.
Thank you very much for all of the work on this release, it is great stuff!

hi Chris,
Easy answer : different arm processors :)
Our wiki page (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/armhfp) points back also to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture) and that page has the info you want/need
But in (really) short summary : rpi1 = armv6 rpi2 and later = armv7 (aka armhfp)
While I initially tried to recompile some pkgs for armv6, it was really a nightmare and I had no time to do that (single rpi1 board)
But if you want something really close, that you can run on rpi1, Jacco (also on the list) did a great job for redsleeve linux (even compiled for armv5tel in fact) so it will run on the rpi1 ;-)

Thank you Fabian. Actually I am currently using Redsleeve now on those boards, and was curious if I could go from CentOS 6 to 7 on them. But, that answers my question and sounds good. Thank you very much!!
