Hey thanks for the reply! As far as I understand, all the ODROID Series boards use uBoot. So I guess this excludes the idea of using them to build a small cluster running CoreOS.
As a point of interest, while I was double checking this I came across a page in their wiki describing how to run a regular UEFI image on the C2 in a VM using KVM. I'm presuming that the requirement for support of UEFI is more of a shorthand for several other important points, so I expect that the idea of booting from a regular uBoot image and then running CoreOS inside a VM is never going to work. http://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:c2_ubuntu_cloud&s[]=uefi On Monday, June 27, 2016 at 7:59:49 PM UTC+2, Geoff Levand wrote: > > Hi, > > On Fri, 2016-06-24 at 00:41 -0700, Bhima Pandava wrote: > > I'm hoping that someone might advise me about the difficulties and > > risks of configuring CoreOS for use on a small cluster using the > ODROID-C2 from Hardkernel (Armlogic S905 Quad Core Cortex-A53 2GHz 64bit > ARMv8 processor with Mali-450 GPU). > > > > I have read through the info on Geoff's Github pages ( > https://github.com/glevand/hikey-coreos) as well as the the CoreOS > developer SDK guide ( > https://coreos.com/os/docs/latest/sdk-modifying-coreos.html) and it seems > like farily straightforward and reasonable stuff.
