First question : armhfp (armv7) or aarch64 (armv8) ?
If that's armhfp, is there a need for 4.14 or a 4.9 LTS would contain
what you'd need for that board ?
Depending on your answer, it can be really easy to build the image (or
better, just modify an existing one) to boot on such board.

In the past, odroid/hardkernel never worked with stock/vanilla kernels,
and same for uboot.
If you confirm that it now does, chances are that we can have something
available soon :-)

Can you give more details ? like, have you tested Fedora already ? It
Fedora works, then likely that means that uboot images can now support
natively that odroid board, and we can give it a quick try with a CentOS
image, etc ..
