Ok, I have a running CentOS 7 ODROID C2:

Now, time to try to get some desktop stuff loaded as well as get 
GNUradio built and running (running a GNURadio instance with an RTL-SDR 
and/or an Ettus Research USRP is the reason I even have this 
device.....).  I know the mali-fbdev files will need to be worked on and 
loaded, and I'm not sure how to go about doing that.  Although the end 
desired use is as a remote device with a remote desktop setup (either 
VNC or xrdp).

Anyone with any idea on the EPEL for ARMv8 timeline?
