When I asked a similar question about
this board there a few months ago, they seemed to think it should
work
with their standard ARMv8 image.
I'll try with uboot but I guess the kernel install will not
succeed, though I may get a rootfs.
I wouldn't be so sure about the kernel install not succeeding. Most
things are in place to support wrapping the kernel for uboot (look
at /sbin/new-kernel-pkg, particularly the mkimage lines). Uboot is
actually remarkably prolific and well supported.
The centos install kernel fails to boot (as does the debian installer
kernel) but, unlike the debian installer, the centos installer fails
to run with the Gigabyte supplied kernel.
Does the supplied kernel come with source/patches? Is it vanilla
mainline? Does the current mainline work without patches?
That would be too easy. No, there is no source nor patches. The board
comes with OpenLinux built-in, with a 3.12 (3.12.0-mp30ar0_sw_1.18.04)
kernel which doesn't appear to be vanilla mainline. They also provide
a Ubuntu image which uses the same kernel. The kernel is full fat, no
external modules and I guess has firmware blobs built in as
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y and there is no /lib/firmware/.
Here's what I just heard back on the CentOS list:

Have you tried it with the latest image?
