[BlueOnyx:25124] Re: Blueonyx 5210r on ARM? I assume ARM support ended with 5109r?

[Fungal Style]

Thanks Michael, I suspected as much, but thought I would ask just in case (and put it out there in case anyone else was wondering).

It was a passing though and I was thinking an "easy way" for a quick test environment, although it would be visible on the internet so I concur most likely not advisable due to lack of updates as it would be for a RH8 variant.

Regards
Brian

I'm not up to date on what the state of the 5109R ARM port of BlueOnyx 5209R is, so I just checked. I don't have any compatible hardware, so I never got involved into it.

Oliver Paukstadt still has the installation instructions up and you can find them here:

Oliver's YUM repositories for 5109R seem to be pretty stale, though and there haven't been any updates in it since January 2018.

So ... this looks kinda dead'ish to me. Therefore: I wouldn't recommend using 5109R for anything that's reachable from the outside world and you'll be missing out on a lot of stuff that made it into 5209R since the 5109R port was done.
