Hello All, 

this is my first post on this mailing list. 

In our organization we have just over 100 thinclients. One day I thought: wouldn't it be great if we could replace them with 
Rasberry Pi's? 

After experimenting with that I thought: this arm is great, cheap, silent and shiny new. 
So I was thinking: I need something stronger than the Rasberry Pi. Maybe I can replace some light servers as well. 

So I bought a Hummingboard Edge from Solidrun and had it shipped from Israel. The strongest model I could find. 
Here are the specs: 
https://www.solid-run.com/freescale-imx6-family/hummingboard/hummingboard-specifications/ 

Can anybody help me get Centos7 running on that? 
So far I tried the CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Minimal-1511-RaspberryPi2.img.xz and the 
CentOS-7-aarch64.img.xz 
I haven't tested in any detail so far but both showed nothing on the screen. 

My ultimate goal would be to use Hummingboards with Centos7 on them as Ovirt or Kubernetes nodes. 

Thanks for any advise. 

Greetings, Johan
