I'd like to use the linux-raspberrypi4 kernel on my RPi-4B.
How is this accomplished?
Would you review what I think I need to do and fill in the gaps/correct me:
UPDATED from original post:
- - Modified step 2, per @graysky feedback (below)
- Modified step 3, per @graysky feedback (below)
- Added steps #4 and #5.
1. Complete "standard" Raspberry Pi 4/ARMv8/AArch64 installation, instructions here:
....https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/broadcom/raspberry-pi-4
2. Then, I update the system with pacman -Syyu
3. Next, I install packages for linux-raspberrypi4 kernel
....a. linux-raspberrypi4
....b. linux-raspberrypi4-headers (optional, but I installed)
....c. raspberrypi-firmware
....d. Are there any other packages I should consider installing unique to the linux-raspberrypi4 kernel?
4. Prior to rebooting, the /etc/fstab file must be updated to change the 1 to a zero for the
....boot partition, i.e., ...1p1 becomes ...0p1.
5. Reboot
The steps above got me an almost fully-functional RPi-4B. Almost, because my RTC didn't work due to an i2c issue.
See this thread for a workaround if you use i2c:
