Hi, I’m new to this list so I hope this isn’t a repeated question, but my searches haven’t found any matches.
I’m trying to use CentOS 7 on a Raspberry Pi 3 with motion and the Raspberry Pi camera module. Has anyone done this successfully, or is it not a supported configuration?
Thank you.
Philip.

I don't we have supported or unsupported configurations, but rather untested/untried ones :-) As the kernel we ship is the upstream one from raspberrypi foundation (we only add auditd/selinux) it should work (assuming that you only need kernel modules) Usually people tend to follow traditional tutorials and adapt those for centos image, but I can't answer for the motion/pi camera module as I've never tried that (and no hardware to test it either)
What do you need that isn't already available/built ?
I take it you are referring to the 32-bit image, as I can't find a 64-bit one.
I was shocked there are 64-bit Fedora 25 and 26 images available but not a CentOS 7 one, so I am putting one together at the moment. I'll post a link here on the list when I have tidied it up to make it presentable. One thing I still want to get working on it is Tianocore EFI, as at that point you don't need an image, you could just use the installer (if the installer iso were to be modified with a kernel that supports the Broadcom SoC, I'll see if I can spin up a suitable ISO with that modification when time permits).

Thank you for your replies.
Fabian, I’m still working through what I need to install - ffmpeg is needed for full functionality and that doesn’t seem to be built though I can try from source. I’ve just installed V4L but the Pi camera device isn’t showing up but that may be another kernel module I need. So I’m still trying, though I may revert to Raspbian for cameras as it works fine that way.
Gordan, yes its 32 bit - shame 64 bit isn’t available at the moment.
Regards, Philip.

If you want to take a preliminary first pass 64-bit image I threw together yesterday, you can try this: http://ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/misc/aarch64/centos-7-rpi3-aarch64.raw.xz
Decompress and dd to an SD card (8GB minimum, the image is 4GiB and SD cards are always smaller than the advertised size). You will need to interrupt grub and add selinux=0 to the boot options. It's using a Fedora kernel, and is by no means pretty, but it does show you can boot aarch64 C7 on it without too much trouble. I now have a working 4.9 LT mainline kernel working on it, too, but that's not in the image yet, I need to do a lot more testing with it and make sure it doesn't break the kernel's compatibility with my main aarch64 system (X-Gene based).

Thank you Gordan but I’ve other things on the go - I don’t need a bleeding-edge 64 bit system just now! But thanks anyway.
