PKGBUILDs VS Pine64-Arch

Unfortunately, as another commenter has pointed out, communication between the maintainers and users has become extremely intransparent and sluggish, especially as of late. I have not tried getting in touch myself so feel free to try, but judging by how the recent PR for the linux-aarch64 package went, I wouldn't be too optimistic.

Arch Linux ARM does support C4 with mainline kernel, though requires some patching and custom packages - see https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/pull/1840

https://archlinuxarm.org/ supports ARMv8, tho not sure if it supports this specific chip

There is an ARM port though.. https://archlinuxarm.org/

I have then opened a pull request aiming to fix the issue by updating the kernel package to the latest stable release (lately 6.1.12, also chosen as LTS). This pull request has been kept up-to-date with every new 6.1.y release but sadly been ignored so far (it's been 3 weeks), like many others.

Hello. Since I’m following the progress of Asahi Linux and its Arch Linux distro I’m wondering if you have a plan to release an official image on https://archlinuxarm.org

I've not used it, but why not https://archlinuxarm.org/? Or there's an ARM-based remix of Endeavour, for example.

These would be awesome for build servers, and testing.

I really like Graviton from AWS, and Apple Silicon is great, I really hope we move towards ARM64 more. ArchLinux has https://archlinuxarm.org , I would love to use these to build and test arm64 packages.

For a fairly popular port: Arch Linux ARM

Phone has Tow-boot and the open-source modem firmware already installed. eMMC & sdcard have just been formatted & flashed to the latest Arch Phosh image from danctnix.

I flashed my pinephone pro with an arch-sxmo image (here: https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/releases), and it works great, but I can't seem to switch the autologin to a new user. In fact, I couldn't find a conf file, neither in /etc/conf.d/, neither in /etc/tinydm.d/env-wayland/. I added a "tinydm" file in both directories, containing the line "AUTOLOGIN_UID=1001" (1001 is the userid I want to log in at boot), but to no avail. Any suggestion?

The keyboard is an important detail! Given the state of the PinePhone Pro, and that you want to use keyboard, have a look at DanctNIX Sxmo https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/releases .

I was using the danctnix arch build running Phosh - https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/releases

At the time (about 10 months ago) it was the most solid I could find. I'm a little out of date at this point, but I'll probably check back in on it some time in the next few months.

And I agree - even at the time it was a usable phone. A tad slow for my tastes, but hard to argue with the performance given the low cost of the hardware.

For comparison: Here‘s the (IMHO sane) DanctNIX PKGBUILD: https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/blob/master/PKGBUILDS/phosh/phosh/PKGBUILD
