Hi,
I'd like to try to install CentOS on an Odroid Xu4 board I have. The board is supposed to be supported by the mainline 4.14 kernel. From what I've gathered, it should be possible to build an image with the 4.14 kernel (possibly taken from Fedora) and a CentOS 7 system. But I haven't found instructions on how to go about assembling such an image.
Could anyone give any pointers? Or would I be better off just using Fedora?
Thanks for your help, Thomas
First question : armhfp (armv7) or aarch64 (armv8) ? If that's armhfp, is there a need for 4.14 or a 4.9 LTS would contain what you'd need for that board ? Depending on your answer, it can be really easy to build the image (or better, just modify an existing one) to boot on such board.
In the past, odroid/hardkernel never worked with stock/vanilla kernels, and same for uboot. If you confirm that it now does, chances are that we can have something available soon :-)
Can you give more details ? like, have you tested Fedora already ? It Fedora works, then likely that means that uboot images can now support natively that odroid board, and we can give it a quick try with a CentOS image, etc ..
