This post will explain how to build an Arch Linux system with the latest mainline Linux kernel for the Orange Pi PC by Xunlong from scratch. The target system is intended for server use only. Graphical features, while they may work, have not been tested and are not the focus of this post. The tutorial starts with a completely blank SD card, which means the following steps need to be accomplished in order to reach the goal:
  • Build the cross compiler
  • Build U-Boot
  • Partition the SD card and install U-Boot
  • Build the Linux kernel
  • Install it and the Arch Root FS onto the SD Card
  • Fun and profit :)
