My Raspberry Pi 4 aarch64 repo

Postby titaniumtown » Mon May 18, 2020 6:49 pm

I didn't know where else to put this, I put it on the arch wiki, under "Unofficial user repositories", but it was removed because they don't support aarch64 :(

So, I made a unoffical repo with packages including all branches of the raspberry pi linux kernel (4.19.y, 5.4.y, 5.5.y, 5.6.y) that auto builds with a new commit. It also includes other misc packages that I use, or are usefull.


Here's the repo: (Runs on my Raspberry Pi 4!)
[raspi_aarch64]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = http://www.gardling.com/my_repo/aarch64

Hi there,
just to be sure to understand, there is no official 64 bits ARM v8 support for the raspberry pi4?
Do you have any hints on how you compile your packages (a github repo maybe?) to make your unofficial ports?

Thanks a lot,
jokester

There is no official aarch64 support for raspberry pi 4 on arch linux arm, but this repo has everything that https://github.com/moonman/MyPKGBUILDs has, plus some.
I've compiled more than just 4.19.y and 5.6.y I've done 4.19.y, 5.4.y, 5.5.y, and 5.6.y. So you can easily switch between them. :)

My PKGBUILDs (the one's not just from the aur) are at: https://github.com/Titaniumtown/raspi4_pkgbuilds

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')But power users, who want to be able to map all 8GB into the address space of a single process, need a 64-bit userland. There are plenty of options already out there, including Ubuntu and Gentoo.


It sadden me even Raspberry Pi OS is coming out for 64bit support for the Pi 4, but ArchLinuxARM is apparently still nowhere there.

The new 8GB board is out, and using it behind 32 bit seems really unfair.

I hope your work will be somehow integrated in the documentation so that people can have 64bit on Pi 4, as the Pi 3 is currently the only one that supports that, but it's getting really old compared to latest Pi 4.

Yea, it's kinda stupid that they haven't put this in the official repos.

I would like know what is exactly the plan of archlinux arm.
We will not do it, just figure it out yourself, it is too much effort for no real benefit?
We don't have the manpower?
We are waiting for the raspberry pi foundation to stabilize xyz?

The community repos are nice but I would like something official, but going over forum threads hasn't given me no really clarity of an official roadmap (maybe I missed a post in some threads).
Please don't understand this as complaining, I just like to know and maybe others too.

FWIW, I've tried Manjaro for the Pi 4 and it uses an outdated kernel but it seems like I can use it to build and publish AUR packages directly on the Pi 4 (stuff like wpewebkit for aarm64 and cairo-glesv2 and cog or WebKit2Gtk with glesv2 enabled).

Once the Pi 3 gets fixes for its drm in 5.7 (not sure it landed already) I might stick with the Pi3 for aarm64, but it feels super weird the Pi 3 gets 64 bit but the 4 doesn't, as I believe the amount of Pi 4 users is outnumbering the amount of Pi 3 users these days (speculation though, I don't have data regarding this).

If ArchLinuxARM could just ditch the 32bit for the Pi4, and provide only the 64bit one, now that'd be awesome.

I've tried the repo that runs on your Pi !!! and it worked like a charm. I wonder, however, what should be done to have a usable GPU. I have the same drm errors I have with the official aarm64 for the Pi 3, there's no way to make it work.

Is this something known or there's a workaround I'm not aware of?

Thanks, and great repo! I also would love to know how you managed to point a static IP to your Pi, and, eventually, how reliable it is so that I won't worry about changing in time.
