The following post is heavily based on Fedora on the ODROID-HC2

It is is about installing CentOS Userland armv7hl on an ODROID-HC2 (from a Fedora 31 x86_64 workstation).

The aim is to get the ODROID in a state where one can ssh as root to the host.

Both initial setup over serial and installing without using a serial console are described.

It’s been about 2½ months since I started adding ODROID-HC2 nodes to my Ceph Luminous cluster.

This is a quick update on how it’s doing so far.

I built a Ceph Luminous cluster containing seven ODROID-HC2 nodes. This cluster also contains some x86 VMs running on my hypervisor.

I use this cluster mainly as a Ceph playground.

For Ceph use I definitely did not want to mess about with serial console on the ODROID-HC2 (there are 7 nodes to install, there could be more). The instructions include getting rid of the need for serial console during first boot.

After installing Fedora 29 on my ODROID-HC2 nodes, I want to get an ansible user onto them so that my usual Ansible playbooks can configure them.
