ArchLinux ARM on USB stick

tlgimenes

Dear all,

After weeks of research and hacking, I finally figured out how to create an ArchLinux environment for Firefly-rk3288 with rfs on USB with a working wifi, VPU and mali GPU !!!

I wrote bellow a mini tutorial on how to create an ArchLinux ARM environment with rfs on USB, and hope the firefly team can inspire themselves in this post to write an article on the firefly wiki on how to install ArchLinux ARM on the firefly and officially support ArchLinux ! ( and I'm able to help the firefly team to do so, providing images, writting articles ... )


I would like to thanks the people of this forum that helped me with their previous posts and the firefly wiki.

You can find the tutorial here

I'm still finishing the wifi and VPU part (I have already it running, but I'm automating the process using systemd)

[EDIT]I've just included the wifi part. VPU is well tested yet If there are people who doens't want to go throught the hole process of building the entire system, I can also provide you minimal working images

Cheers \o/

Hello Asuuga !!

So, it's being a while since I've done it, but I don't remember having this issue. It looks like you have a serial debugging cable. If you do have one, I suggest you follow this tutorial.

In the subject of wich firmware I'm using, I'm using the official Android 5.0 one

Good luck and tell me if anything goes wrong again
