Installation instructions are up now: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7 ... bieboard-2

Kernel support is still a work in progress upstream, so some things might be broken.

awesome and thanks a lot!

got a question about point 7:
Use the serial console or SSH to the IP address given to the board by your router. The default root password is 'root'.

I guess this means the HDMI ain't working yet, is that correct?
If so, have you tried with the script.bin used by the Cubiuntu RC2 ?

I haven't tried HDMI, it might work.

it kinda does ... so here a couple of gotchas, if helpful at all.

the HDMI is not "clipped" so I actually cannot see borders via 720p resolution.
I've tried to bin2fex the script.bin in /boot but I believe that's not the one I need to fex ... I can't see a thing anyhow.

The "wierd" thing was not to find any /dev/nand even if sunxi-tools compiles without problems, including the nand-part with the a20 specific files.

Last, but not least, if you have lucky enough to have bought a MarsBoard with the A20 and you managed to find an electric plug/adapter that works, this seems to work the same in such board.

Finally, the screen that becomes brighter where there's more text ... that reminds me the Raspberry Pi video setup, which I personally never liked much.

That said: THANKS A LOT, it's a very great beginning already!
