Hi,
Seems somebody was so kind to provide images for the parallella (http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/xilinx/). I used following mini-guide (based on the ZedBoard howto on the frontpage) to prepare the sdcard.
- fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
- Created 50M primary partition starting from sector 2048, type 'c'
- Created another primary partition for the rest of the 8GB sd card
- The boot partition is vfat, the other one ext4
- Extracted the image from Archlinux ARM over the ext4 partition, and copied the stuff under the boot directory to the boot partition.
However, as the image doesn't seem to support HDMI and it looked like the board wasn't starting or wasn't getting an ip address, I replaced the devicetree.dtb, uImage and parallella.bit.bin with the ones with hdmi support, provided by adapteva.
Now, when booting, I can see the card booting, but lots of errors spawn and the board fails to boot. Let me type some stuff over.

Anybody that can help me debug this issue and maybe get Archlinux ARM running on the parallella?
