Hello,

In my work I have 3 or 4 old PanaBoard-ES's which are waiting for purpose to live.

https://eu.mouser.com/new/pandaboardorg/pandaboardES/ 

Is there any way that I can somehow install armbian? I don't want windows and stuff - mainly I'm interested to use it as some kind of servers (i.e. play with Home Assistant).

Could someone show me the way? Where to start?

Br,

Marek

It comes with: OMAP4460 Processor, Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore (SMP)

Not simple, but here you go: https://www.digikey.com/eewiki/display/linuxonarm/PandaBoard

 

Build a modern distro and linux kernel.

 

Oh, by the way - dual Cortex A9s (SMP) and dual Cortex M3s.

seems to be 'very simple' patches for upstream u-boot are there, and recent kernels as well (maybe it could be worth to compare them with upstream)..

 

So building images built by armbians buildscript doesn't look that hard. Getting them officially into our build-script on the other hand will be harder (we try to reduce workload - there must be good reasons for a new soc family).
