There are two blocking issues with the C2 right now.... In theory you could create an arm64/aarch64 'userspace' build similar to what Fabian has done on the 32bit side, but I've not done any legwork around that. Is that something you'd have an inclination (and the free time) to help with?
Jim,
Thanks for the explanation; this matches what I had kindof figured (but I had hoped I was mistaken).
Yes, I have the inclination and I have some time to work on this; what sort of tools will I need? I have the UART cable for serial console, and I'm currently using only MicroSD to boot.
I will say that while my employer is willing to pay me to get the little box running for the RFI sniffer (GNUradio required), and while I would vastly prefer C7 on it, C7 isn't a hard requirement for the sniffer project. It would make it easier for me, and I am the one in charge of the project here, since I can then do any dev work on my laptop and just build on the C2. With using Ubuntu it is a bit more difficult for me. I would think that this would be a desireable board to support, though, but I of course reserve the right to be wrong....
Thanks again!
