How to install ArchLinux for raspberry pie
Raspberry pie how to install ArchLinux, I believe that many inexperienced people do not know what to do, so this article summarizes the causes of the problem and solutions, through this article I hope you can solve this problem.
ArchLinux is a distribution of Linux, with simplicity and lightweight as its design philosophy. Archlinux is optimized for specific processors and can make better use of CPU cycles to improve performance. Compared to Debian/Ubuntu, SUSE, RedHat/Fedora, and other distributions, Archlinux is a lightweight player, and its simple design makes it easy to extend and configure to any desired system type.
Because of its small and beautiful features, ArchLinux is ideal for running in environments such as raspberry pie. The official raspberry pie website once provided a mirror download of ArchLinux, but I don't know why it was later unlinked. If you have a raspberry pie ArchLinux image, you can directly use the dd command (under Linux) or win32diskimager (under windows) to copy the image to the SD card. May cause a waste of disk space, to make rational use of the disk, you need to manually install the ArchLinux system for the raspberry pie. The installation steps are as follows:
Download the latest version of ArchLinux for Arm's system:
Raspberry pie 2: http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-rpi-2-latest.tar.gz
Raspberry pie BBQ: http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz
Step 1: partition the SD card with fdisk:
Fdisk / dev/sdX
Step 2: after entering the interface of fdisk, delete the original partition and create a new partition
A, enter o and enter to clear the original partition.
B, type p to list the current partition, and you should not see any partitions at this time.
C, enter n, enter p and select to establish the primary partition, then enter 1, then enter directly to select the default start sector, and then enter + 100m as the end sector (specify the 100MB space for the first partition).
D, type tQuery c, and set the partition type of the first partition to W95 FAT32 (LBA).
E, enter nmenp to establish the first primary partition, then enter 2 as its partition number, and then enter twice to accept the default start and stop sector settings.
F, enter w to write partition data and exit fdisk.
Step 3: create and mount the FAT file system
Mkfs.vfat / dev/sdX1
Mkdir boot
Mount / dev/sdX1 boot
Step 4: create and mount the ext4 file system
Mkfs.ext4 / dev/sdX2
Mkdir root
Mount / dev/sdX2 root
Step 5: extract the file to the root directory
Tar xzvf ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz-C root
Sync
Step 6: move the files in boot to the first partition
Mv root/boot/* boot
Step 7: uninstall the partition
Umount boot root
Step 8: insert the SD card into the raspberry pie and plug it into the power supply to light up.
Note that in your system, you need to replace the above sdX with the corresponding number
The default password for root users is root
Root users can not log in remotely by default, they can log in using alarm users, and their default password is alarm.
