HOW-TO install ArchLinux for any Khadas SBC - VIM1 VIM2 VIM3 VIM3L Edge

both are looking cool, any possibility to get ChromeOS ? :slightly_smiling_face:

ChromeOS is a Gentoo Linux-based operating system - u still need ChromeOS ? why ?

was curious if it is possible, chromeOS is very popular choice of OS for many students and educators who are looking for a OS where most of the things can be done in the cloud, as a student myself I wanted to see if I could get ChromeOS for using one of my VIM3s as a school computer :wink:

@hyphop Why the ArchLinux install script got deleted with this commit ecc598f00e0a857b370ebb2948cb5252b78df8de ?

I would like to use ArchLinuxArm on my Khadas Edge-V (headless) and was wondering what is now easy way to install ArchLinuxARM on eMMC.

Back in 2017 I wrote an guide which was ok for the Edge Pro device, will see if I can adopt it for Khadas Edge-V.

has some problem, and temporary was removed, if u have time can make fork and prepare workable variant, when i will merge it

I would be glad to have ArchLinuxARM back on Edge-V device. I would be glad to test your work. Hope you are then using official ArchLinuxARM aarch64 unmodified as in old deleted script.

When will VIM4 get Arch?

if some body ready to help me - welcome

what need to do

  1. check old scripts like example tmp: clean notready scripts · khadas/krescue-scripts@ecc598f · GitHub
  2. prepare workable variant
  3. i will push it to master

@hyphop now that I can boot oowow on Edge-V, how could I test ArchlinuxArm scripts you deleted in " tmp: clean notready scripts · khadas/krescue-scripts@ecc598f · GitHub ?

May be helpful

Which kernel version is used?

It has to be the vendor kernel, because there’s no other option.

Kernel 5.4.125
I want to update this soon

You can try merging later security updates onto the kernel, but at some point you’ll trip over downstream changes that make it complicated. There is no later kernel version to use or migrate to … until Amlogic does their next forward-port of code to appease the Android kernel target gods. The amount of time that this “reinvention of the wheel” task requires ensures the “new” kernel is always an old kernel by the time the task has completed. And that’s why distro maintainers like myself loathe silicon vendors who don’t invest in upstreaming their codebase :frowning:
