Based off Centos aarch64 release: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64

image login after booting: root/.centos
Also have many epel packages available in different repo. Feel free to reply with questions or additional info
Hey, do you still have that CentOS image? Link is not working and I can't find it anywhere else.
Thank you.
Another image can be found on Github as listed in the thread, but last time I tried it, it was very unstable, and ebrand seems to have gone missing also on Github. The last time I looked, he was not responding to anyone's complaints about bugs. I have gave up on CentOS 7 for the Pine64 and went with Armbian.
Here is another image I was referring to

A guide on how to install is there
RE: Centos 7 - kurtstam - 06-01-2018
Hey guys,
After using Uli's work for over a year, I recently did some work to put a recent Armbian Boot and Kernel into a CentOS distro. The Armbian guys are doing great work and now I have a CentOS distribution with a mainline 4 kernel. It addresses the issues with the monitor and so far I've found things pretty much all work. Personally I'm working on it to get good base platform to run Docker and OpenShift/Kubernetes, but the work may be of interest for other projects as well. The project can be found here:
https://github.com/Project31/centos-pine64/
and I have prebuild images for a base image:
https://github.com/Project31/centos-pine64/releases/tag/v7.4.1708-v5.44
as well as an image with a Gnome Desktop:
https://github.com/Project31/centos-pine64/releases/tag/v7.4.1708-v5.44-gnome
I'd love to get some feedback on it.
Cheers,
--Kurt

All that is really needed is to recompile the Armbiand mainline kernel to include KVM support
