install centos AArch64 on SD using the great work of umiddelb: (tested on version 1611 Centos 7.3)
https://github.com/umiddelb/z2d
note: skip the centos-03.sh

The default settings for the installed image are :

  • root password : you choose during z2d
  • eth0 setting : dhcp
  • selinux status : permissive or disabled (board/kernel specific, see [Supported Boards] section and your model
  • no ntp/chronyd setup

i had problem with hdmi, so i've simply checked my dhcp server to identify my pine64+centos7
also the usb ports seems to not work

Set your keyboard, ie:

localectl set-keymap de

exclude the kernel from the centos base repo:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
and add the line under [updates]
exclude=kernel*

update the system:

yum -y update
yum clean all

install nethserver 7:

yum localinstall http://mirror.framassa.org/nethserver7-arm/nethserver-release-7arm.rpm
nethserver-install

after waiting 5 min (well, 10 if you are ancious like me ;) ) unplug the power of Pine64+ wait 10sec and replug

done login to Nethserver-ARM: https://YOUR_IP_or_HOSTNAME:980
