You can find a small how-to document here [1]. What kind of SBC do you have in mind for your project? Choosing CentOS will give you some kind of stability and long term support. But you should not expect to run your embedded project without the possibility to update your devices. I believe the possibility to manage your devices in a smart way without touching or visiting them is a key success factor. You might visit https://resin.io/, their main focus is about managing changes. They make heavy use of Docker containers, so you might consider to take CentOS a base image for your Docker based development.
