Hello there. Since today I am a proud owner of a ODROID-U2 and I'am now trying to install the one and only OS for me: ArchLinux!
As my rasperry pi is to weak to act as desktop alternative I was hoping the odroid-u2 would fit the requirements.
I created SD card exactly as given in the manual using the latest image. (ArchLinuxARM-odroid-u2-latest.img)
Odroid powers up, blue LED is flashing a little and then falls into a unnormal blinking code:
Two fast blinks, pause, two fast blinks, pause.... As chippey5 described it as 'double flash pattern' in this thread.
I STFW but could not find any documentation on blinking codes like as they are often found accordig to a BIOS (which dosen't exist on Odroid, I know).
The LAN LEDs do nothing, the device does not appear in the routers DHCP table so I can't login via SSH.
When using the original Android SD Card, which came along with the device, everything works as expected - but the blinking of the blue LED is constant and much slower.
Edit I: Meanwhile I've tried several different microSD-cards with all the same negative result. No boot, weird blinking blue led.
So I tried do create a card with the original android image from hardkernel to verify I do not make some mistake when writing the image in general.
I 'dd'ed the image to the card put it in my Odroid and voila: It works flawless! But I'am really no android fan!
I don't want to be disrespectful or insult anybody but could it perhaps be that the issue is founded in the ArchLinuxARM-odroid-u2-latest.img itself (released 06-OCT-2013)?
Edit II: Now I've installed successfully an adroid image, a debian-gnome image and an ubuntu image and all work well but the archlinux-arm image which will still not boot up.
Edit III: As given here I placed a bug report in the GitHub issue queue - hope this would not be considered as double posting.
If so, please delete this post.
