Simple

We are based on Arch Linux, which aims for simplicity and full control to the end user. This provides a light-weight base structure that allows you to shape the system to your needs.

Optimized

We maintain packages built on the target device, for the target device. We build optimized packages for ARMv5te, ARMv7 Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 to use each platform to its potential.

Always Up to Date

New software versions are packaged daily, ensuring you are always on the leading edge. You can easily rebuild packages yourself or use the AUR.

Arch Linux ARM

Arch Linux ARM is a distribution of Linux for ARM computers. We are aimed at ARMv5 platforms like plug computers, OXNAS-based ARMv6 PogoPlugs, Cortex-A8 platforms such as the BeagleBoard, and Cortex-A9 and Tegra platforms like the PandaBoard and TrimSlice. However, it can run on any device that supports ARMv5te or Cortex-A instruction sets. Our collaboration with Arch Linux brings users the best platform, newest packages, and installation support.

Arch Linux ARM is a full Linux distribution with all of the console, server, and desktop applications you'd find anywhere else. You can run many popular services, such as CUPS to print from networked computers; Apache, Lighttpd, Cherokee, and Nginx for web servers with full PHP and CGI support; FTP, NFS, AFP, Rendezvous, Windows and Time Machine-compatible Samba servers; or install a desktop environment (with a web browser, text editors, and more) accessible through VNC, DisplayLink, or HDMI displays.

The entire distribution is on a rolling-release cycle that can be updated daily through small packages instead of huge updates every few months. Most packages are unmodified from what the upstream developer originally released.
