Installation Instructions for Odroid-M1S

Hi dear community,

I own Odroid-M1S with NVMe SSD and I'd love to install Gentoo for general desktop use. According to Gemini, ARMv7 is the compatible. In the official downloads page I found ARMv7a.

Is it compatible with my system?
Which handbook should I follow for my use case?

Thanks,
Vladi

Hi,

So far I guess you should take a look here:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Embedded_Handbook
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:ARM

And maybe this:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hardkernel_ODROID-M1S

I also know there is #gentoo-arm@libera on IRC.

Hope it helps.

PS: You can maybe ask around on the Odroid forum, maybe they have some tips to share.

PPS: Regarding it's a small computer, you should consider binhosting it to compile for it way faster. Also don't forget since a few months the Gentoo binary project is here, should be helpful too.

If you succesfully make it works, maybe you can fill a wiki page about it, peoples on the several IRC channels and the forum would probably happy to give guidance about that. If I would be able to help you on that I will, sadly I think I can't.

Good luck.
