[Arm-dev] CentOS 7 on Raspberry Pi 3 with motion and the Pi Camera module

[Gordan Bobic]

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).
