Short answer: None, I have not created a JeOS image yet.

Just today was U-Boot v2017.05-rc2 packaged, and it'll take a while for
it to hit Factory. (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/487710 is
still pending for the previous v2017.03...)
-rc2 still does not include all patches for a convenient boot from SD -
we could queue some in our package of course.

Binary-only ARM Trusted Firmware blobs are needed for booting, that are
unlikely to ever reach Factory. So they would need to live in a Contrib.

Next problem was that Hardkernel uses a binary-only x86 Amlogic tool for
packing the ATF and U-Boot binaries into a bootable form.
My solution for OBS/aarch64 was to piece together an Open Source tool:
https://github.com/afaerber/meson-tools
Currently that still requires the fip tool from downstream Hardkernel
U-Boot (with its alignment magic), which didn't build with gcc5+.

Cf. https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:OdroidC2

So... would it help to create a JeOS image without the bootloader?
You could then dd the bootloader onto the SD card in a second step.

The Factory 4.10 kernel booted okay, so no dependency on Kernel:HEAD.

I've create a Contrib:OdroidC2, but it's still empty:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:ARM:Factory:Contrib:OdroidC2

Regards,
Andreas
