In principle, yes, the instllation procedure is the same for all
supported platforms (i.e. there is a single ONIE installer for all of
them). However, the official installer for release 1 is a bit old and
does not yet support the Aurora 710. Please use
http://hydra.nix.net.switch.ch/RARE/releases/pre-2/onie-installer-release-1-79-g4834c09.bin
instead.

That pre-release is missing a few things for this platform that were
fixed later on but the installation should work. Once installed, you
can upgrade to the latest version either by executing (as root)

# release-manager --install-latest

from a shell (make sure it's a login shell or add
/nix/var/nix/profiles/RARE/bin to PATH) or from the freertr prompt
with

# tna-install-latest
