Hello,
I got CentOS for PPC64 from this link http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/ppc64/ but it uses grub. I want to use CentOS on a PowerPC Freescale T2080 board with U-Boot as the boot loader. Is it available?
Thanks and regards

The CentOS 7 ppc64 and ppc64le variants are supposed to be installed on IBM Power (or compatible boxes, like Tyan or others, from the OpenPower consortium)
I didn't know that some dev board could exist that were targeting ppc. Are those board ppc64 compatible ? What is loaded by default on those ? Nothing would work "by default" from a CentOS side, but something could probably be done if you build a RootFS composed with the ppc64/ppc64le tree (depending on what's compatible with your board) and use uboot to chainload ?
Can you give more details about the available and running distros for that board ?
