How to easily run aarch64 on RPi4

[Forge]

Thanks for making this available, I just flipped my RPi4 to aarch64 thanks to your work.

Just a heads up, the 03-08 rootfs tarball wouldn't boot on my 4. I tried two different good SDs and unpacked a half dozen times trying other things. Finally grabbed the 01-18, used that, and it booted the first time. Installed all updates, no problem. Once I can get a micro-HDMI cable, I'll troubleshoot a bit more for you. Thanks again!

Had to set the nameserver manually in /etc/resolv.conf

I am using the configuration as it was in the image. Indeed systemd-resolved.service was disabled.
I've enabled it and now it works, thanks!

Hi, i've create my microSD for RPi4 using official guide and change rootfs url from step 5 of the guide with latest here: https://olegtown.pw/Public/ArchLinuxArm/RPi4/rootfs/

Now I have problem with mirror host...but I see it is a already reported bug here....

Next step... how to install a desktop? (of course light, for rpi4)

[andre]

Personally, I prefer xfce.

To install a desktop, you need an X server (xorg) and a desktop environment (eg xfce) . If you like to have a graphical login, you need a display manager like lightdm. If you prefer a terminal login, you can start xfce with startxfce4 instead.

Something like
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# pacman -S xfce4 xfce4-goodies xorg-apps xorg xorg-drivers lightdm
# systemctl enable lightdm
')
should do the trick.

For further information, look at the ArchLinux wiki
For the packages I mentioned:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM

I'm trying run k8s, runc, cri-o, ... on the aarch64 rpi4 kernel provided by moonman.
But it fails because the cpu.cfs_period_us is missing in cgroups.
Probably because "# CONFIG_CFS_BANDWIDTH is not set" in kernel config.

Before i try to recompile the kernel with this option i would like to know if there's any reason to not have set it ?

Has anyone tried the vc4-kms-v3d-pi4 overlay with a 5.x kernel? I tried moonman's PKGBUILD and I receive the following error messages:
