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.
