Glad to share this news in list.
HiKey got supported by Estuary - Server Software stack, Open Sourced from Huawei. Well, a more sophisticate explanation is here " Estuary is a complete open source solution for ARM based systems for ICT domain. It can provide you a quick launch pad to start with ARM Server Solution. " http://open-estuary.com/estuary/
Every piece of it is committed to be open source. ATF/UEFI and kernel support are coming from Linaro 96boards. Congrats team!
You can run Ubuntu, OpenSuse and some server software on top of HiKey.
Kernel in this build is v4.1.
Enjoy. -Guodong
