Wow...I haven't checked in on Redsleeves in many months and thought
perhaps the
project had called it quits after RHEL6. I've installed Fedora 20 from
http://www.odroid.in/fedora-20/ on my latest Odroid purchases (we use
them for
various general utility purposes) because even though Fedora 20 is out
of date
it is fresher than RSEL6 for the most part. But I really should get
back to
using a long term supported distro like RSEL.
If anyone is seriously interested in collaborating on getting good
installation
instructions written up and posted to the wiki for getting RSEL7 onto
the
Odroid U2/U3 I would be happy to send you a board to keep. I've got
some rough
instructions we wrote up ages ago for RSEL6 which we, regrettably,
never ended
up putting on the wiki because they need significant cleanup and
refinement.
Actually RSEL7 was completely build on an U3 :)
my initial write-up is here:
https://wiki.redsleeve.org/index.php/RedSleeve_Linux_7
To get it working on an U3, it is basically as easy as downloading the
image from
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/el7/rootfs/ ,
dd it to an SD-card and go.
I do not have an U2, so that's for now untested. I always assumed that
the kernel should be similar. Maybe the U3 image works on an U2.
Let me know if it works on an U2, so we can add it to the list of
tested devices.
Not strictly relating to that specific image, but I made my own based on
it,
and RSEL7 works beautifully on the Samsung Chromebook. I've had no end
of
issues getting the Chromebook specific kernel to cooperate (systemd did
away with userspace firmware blob loading helpers, so the kernel had to
do everything on its own), but once I got that sorted, the userspace
part never skipped a beat. I even have it running with rootfs on
zfs-fuse, with a dracut generated initramfs, and with stage2 uboot
loader. :)
I'll put together an image and a howto on the wiki when time permits.
Gordan
