Hi!
Hey Thierry,
The Odroid C2 Arm64 SBC is getting some attention these days. Its video capability seems to be a driver for some decent shelf life at our local distributors.
Pretty nice toy too, but we haven't one of them, so we can't support it officially.
If one whishes integrated WIFI plus SATA in the Arm64 world, ASUS has the Tinker Board S, see https://www.asus.com/us/supportonly/Tinker%20Board%20S/HelpDesk_Download/
There are other interesting development boards which supports ARM64 and has integrated SATA (Firefly based on the RK3399). I belive it hasn't wifi but can be added an expaion card to give more outputs and supports wifi/BT.
I am working towards Crux-arm64 on the OdroidC2, having a cross-compiled Linux kernel (3.16) booting either Ubuntu or ArchLinux.
Probably there is no need to start from scratch... We have a generic ARM64 release ready to deploy to a device (if not supported currently by us) and rebuild the entire core collection ports with your specific/custom CFLAGS. Take a look to the 3.3 Release notes, the last point: https://crux-arm.nu/Documentation/ReleaseNotes3-3 You'll find there the generic release and two optimizations, for the pine64 and the raspberrypi 3. If none of this last ones fit your need for the Odroid C2, you can deploy the generic release and rebuild with your custom CFLAGS :)
Crux is the only distribution I self-support for X86 devices.
I "git cloned" much of crux-arm.nu/gitweb. I have a previous experience of re-packaging Crux X86-64 (basically to make a "features-lean" system such that security-wise, the attack surface is reduced). In this new Arm64 project, I might be able to contribute back to the crux-arm.nu contents.
Any useful tip, suggestion, or comment?
I hope you can find interesting info in this reply and avoid some time cross compiling.
Regards,
