WRT CentOS, I can think of two ways to do it, both require the kernels I mentioned earlier in the thread. 1) (Easier) - Prepare the image as if you where using your cubietruck 3 - boot that image and update (from the cubietruck 3) - activate the repo and install the kernel - change uboot to the cubietruck plus - shutdown and move the image/sd to the new device.
- (Harder)
- Prepare the image for the cubietruck plus - download the kernel rpms and copy them to the sd - boot the cubietruck plus with that image (it has no ethernet, no wifi, and most likely no hdmi, so you'll have to do it via a serial console) - login via console and manually install the kernel - reboot
For both metods (and also for Fedora), there may be modules that are not loaded into initramfs, which makes it panic at boot. I usually add this to a .conf file in /etc/dracut.conf.d/ add_drivers+=" phy-sun4i-usb sunxi-rsb axp20x-rsb axp20x-regulator axp20x-pek axp20x_ac_power axp20x_battery axp20x_usb_power axp288_fuel_gauge ac100 rtc-ac100" Some may not be needed anymore, and some may not be needed at all, but hey, it works for me ;)
One last thing that also applies to Fedora and CentOS, you may notice that you get a random MAC for the ethernet every time you boot, you can fix that by adding "MACADDR=<mac>" to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
HTH.

Hello Pablo,
thank you very much for these tipps. I'm now running Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-Rawhide-20180802.n.0-sda.raw.xz. I think, Fedora would be better for my need (pi-hole, DNS, Print-server, Time-server, ...)
I beg to differ. Fedora roles versions every 6 months and EOLs a version in 2 years. This means you are constantly upgrading versions of important servers. Where as Centos has a 10yr EOL policy.
I only use Fedora for my notebook and when I REALLY need the current version of something (like openSSL 1.1.1 for EDDSA testing).
Get Fedora working. Work it out, then switch to Centos for production.
Just my 5cent worth.
As I can see, there is a EMMC-disc with 8 GB. Did you manage to boot from this disc? At the moment, there is a older installation from linaro.
