@dezgeg's porting efforts to ARMv7 should work.
Board-specific installation notes
First follow the generic installation steps to get the installer image.
U-Boot and its SPL need to be copied to specific sectors on the microSD card with dd. Download U-Boot & SPL for the board (uboot-wandboard_defconfig-2017.03_u-boot.img, uboot-wandboard_defconfig-2017.03_SPL), and copy them to the correct location with (again, replace /dev/sdX with the correct path to the SD card device):
sudo dd if=uboot-wandboard_defconfig-2017.03_SPL of=/dev/sdX seek=1 bs=1k
sudo dd if=uboot-wandboard_defconfig-2017.03_u-boot.img of=/dev/sdX seek=69 bs=1k
Note: Only the Quad model has been tested, but the others should work as well with the same U-Boot binary.
Then, install using the installation and configuration steps.
