Arch Linux ARM root filesystem
#4
Hi @SKiljan I've followed your instructions and was able to easily make an ALARM sdcard and eMMC.
  • Your bootloader instructions are great. Previously, I had used a few different (and conflicting) PBP/ALARM blog posts to get the bootloader properly installed.
  • The image the instructions link to doesn't have a /mnt directory. Easily fixed.
  • The image I used didn't have mkfs.vfat, quite easily fixed by installing dosfstools.
  • My first time seeing/using Tow-Boot.
  • Wifi isn't enabled after reboot. Given that ALARM is likely only used by advanced users this might not even be worth mentioning. 
I've not yet installed any GUI apps or tested audio. Looks like you've provided "pinebookpro-audio" which I imagine fixes the annoying Pinebook Pro headphone bug.

What I need to do now is get a LUKS-encrypted eMMC install. I imagine your existing eMMC instructions wouldn't need much changing, or I suppose your sdcard installation could be used to bootstrap a traditional Arch install. I'll play around.

I'm glad your distro is now linked on the wiki: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinebook_Pr..._Linux_ARM. Only nit is that the wiki's credentials are wrong.

Great work, it's clear you put a lot of time and effort into this. Thanks again!
