I followed the steps on the install page. Everything was fine except for the following:

I didn't notice the error message at the time (I was half asleep) and continued with fw_setenv, etc. After reboot the led stays red and I can't ssh in (whether I boot with the USB drive with Arch connected, or not). So I seem to have bricked it. Is there a way out?

This is actually an area where we probably need to change another thing upstream Arch does. Firmware files are provided in the linux-firmware package, but that doesn't have everything that should be there, since it's just a kind of generic package that generically "works" for x86 targets. We really should be packaging up firmware with each individual kernel instead of wiping it out of the final packages.

Anyway, here's the firmware files. Put the sd8786_uapsta.bin to /lib/firmware/mrvl. You may or may not need the helper_sd.bin, which would go in just /lib/firmware.

aghitza, your problem isn't the envtools stuff, it's the part about creating the drive for the root filesystem. It's obviously not booting whatever you created. You're stuck with a red light because it's sitting in U-Boot, unable to boot anything.

[WarheadsSE]

Just the sd8786 is needed, as far as all the code I have read reads.

nada... I did the helper file to be on the safe side..

No no no.. leave it named sd8786_uapsta.bin
