Greetings all,
It's been almost a year since I spent any serious time working with my Clusterboard. I'm wondering what developments have been made in the meantime, if there is a "go-to" distribution, etc.
Specifically, I'm interested in network booting the SOPINE modules from a single head node (A separate PINE64 board connected via Ethernet that will serve as a gateway between the Clusterboard network and the LAN). Previously I had installed SD cards and O/S images on each SOPINE and I'd like to avoid doing that again if possible.
Has anyone successfully set this up, and/or can point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Hi jgullickson,
I have it running 4 sopines with archlinux using pxeboot and nfsroot.
It works very well moreover I cannot reboot the sopine yet.
If you need I can make available a simple how to and a basic rootfs based on archlinux for aarch64

I'm currently working on a Fedora 32 aarch64 based cluster. booting of each board is not 100% reliable (might be something with my sdcards), and the realtek NIC has a known bug that requires a bit of extra work.
Here's some of the knowledge I've collected if you are interested.
