Hi everyone,
I got Arch Linux ARM and KDE to boot on a slightly-modified 3.11 kernel and thought that could be of interest to the community:

The user-space is an almost unmodified Trimslice image. I just twiddled with some configuration files (esp. X) and then everything just run. Actually at this point I am considering submitting and maintaining an official port for NVIDIA-released consumer devices (that would include SHIELD and the upcoming Tegra Note in a first time). An official port for more modern Tegra 4 devices would be beneficial IMHO, since Tegra 2-based Trimslice does not support e.g. NEON instructions.
That's where I'm a little bit lost. I have been through all the website but couldn't find how I can compile and bootstrap my own ARM image with specific compilation flags. Is there some documentation I missed? How are base root images like Trimslice produced in a first time?
Thanks for any useful information - I'd love to get that port moving forward and show how Tegra devices can run on 100% free software!
