Failing arch-chroot because of different architecture

[cerberto]

I'm running Arch on my laptop (x86_64) and I'm trying to chroot into the ArchlinuxARM for my Raspberry Pi 2 (ARMv7l), installed on a microSD.

I want to install packages on my system by chrooting in it from my laptop's Arch, because I have no I/O devices available for the RPI right now..

I get exactly the same error reported here, i.e. $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'chroot: cannot run command '/usr/bin/bash': Exec format error'), which is apparently related to the fact that different architectures are involved.

Any alternative solution?

Alternatives:
1) just connect rpi to the network and ssh into it.
2) qemu-static - research is on you
