A7

This project attemps to install Arch Linux ARM on the Odroid M2 device.

Installing on an SD card

start on the factory OS on the EMMC
clone this repository
become root: sudo su
install these programs if necessary: lshw, parted
cd A7/install-to-sd
./install-to-sd.sh

Use a fast SD card at least 8 GB in size. The partitions and content on the card will be lost. A boot partition and a root partition where Arch is deployed will be created. The SD card is made bootable. Upon success, a reboot should be operating on the SD card.

Installing on the EMMC

boot on an SD card
clone this repository
become root if necessary: su
install these packages if necessary: lshw, wget, util-linux, sed, arch-install-scripts
cd A7/install-to-emmc
./install-to-emmc.sh [target_root_partition]

If target_root_partition is not provided, it defaults to /dev/mmcblk0p2 on the EMMC. The content of the EMMC's boot partition and that of the target root partition will be lost.

Ensure that a good network bandwidth is being used. If packages can't be downloaded during the process, it may not be possible to reboot on the EMMC. The factory OS can be installed again on the EMMC using instructions of the OEM's wiki.

Notes

See the original forum thread leading to this project. Any comment should continue in this discussion.

It is proposed to patch the device tree file of this board during installation. This enables network connection on its ethernet port, and discovery of devices on the USB-C port.
