Archlinux on Rock5b

I made an iso file from my working setup:https://mega.nz/file/Uld0CIiA#CItkZNejNcSNvabMJMq2d4986TW9U5D1PeU4b_1lbxw

@Joperfi You can just try that. I’ve tested this image by flashing to an nvme ssd using balenaEtcher.

I used UUID in fstab so you can also use this image on emmc and sdcard.

You will need an 16GB media to flash this image on, and you need to resize the partition yourself if you disk is much larger than this.

My iso is not miminal and has some packages installed like sudo and git. The default user alarm is already in the wheel group and can sudo without a password. If you want to change such behavior you can just visudo by yourself.

The alarm home folder has op’s repo hw_necromancer cloned and rock5 related PKGBUILD are located in hw_necromancer/rock5. You can makepkg the one you want to install/

The boot partition has the dtbs folder changed per This pull request, and the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf is modified accordingly. This modification allows me to upgrade kernel and keep the same extlinux.conf file.
