Arch Linux ARM dropped support for ARMv5 (ix2-200)

Postby sergey8av » Sun Mar 13, 2022 5:37 pm

I am trying to install
http://mirror.nus.edu.sg/archlinux-arm/ ... est.tar.gz
on ix2-200 Cloud version.

I have enable mirror websites in mirrorlist without any success to sync files by command
pacman -Syu --noconfirm uboot-tools mdadm gptfdisk parted rsync arch-install-scripts
See for details below

Is there any solution?

With great sadness I was told that Arch Linux ARM dropped support for ARMv5 and ARMv6. The Kirkwood platform which the ix2-200 is based on is not supported anymore. This guide will remain online, but consider its contents deprecated and obsolete.

The solution is to either stick with old packages and use archive mirrors:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15698
Which is a bad idea in the long run, especially security wise

Migrate to debian
https://forum.doozan.com/list.php?2

or OpenWRT
