Hi All...
Has anyone run a Parallella board with a distro from a family other than Debian or Ubuntu?
I'm hoping for CentOS, or something substantially similar.
Thanks...

It appears someone is getting the ball rolling on Arch Linux Arm
Thanks to device trees and the similarity to the Zedboard, the parallella should boot most modern kernels. I recall Fedora being in favor of this route to support a "one kernel for many boards" approach (not sure how far they've come implementing it though).
After that, I assume it's just getting this firmware and buidling the SDK.
Actually, I just remembered this thread , and not sure what [minimal] patches are in Adapteva's repo. But their kernel is new enough and should work with Fedora until things get upstreamed.

Thanks 9600 & tincman.
I'll experiment until I get something working, and I'll summarize on the forums.

Hopefully arch linux arm will work on the parallella by the time I get my board, I use arch on literally all of my systems(including SoCs) and it just makes life so much simpler.
