You can now download a pre-built image from my other project amlogic-s9xxx-archlinuxarm to either use it as your system template directly or a live environment where you can use pacstrap to bootstrap another installation in the ArchLinux way. Using it as live environment is more recommended though.

This is for an installation done in the Arch style following the method documented in my blog:

https://7ji.github.io/embedded/2022/11/08/alarm-install.html

The layout is aligned with the official Arch kernels so mkinitcpio hooks will handle updating of the initramfs nicely. Addtional hooks are provided by the optional dependency https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/uboot-legacy-initrd-hooks to also generate legacy u-boot initrd images for those who use booti to load the kernel (If you're using a mainline u-boot that can use sysboot to load a /extlinux/extlinux.conf, then you can omit those hooks as sysboot can load normal initramfs)

Note all these linux-aarch64-flippy-bin* pacakges provides and conflicts with linux-aarch64-flippy* (no -bin), I have another package that'll build from source instead of fetching ophub's pre-build binaries, yet testing and building it on an AArch64 device is too painful and slow. For the sake of not frying your boxes and my box debugging it, I'm not planning to submit it. A better way to build the kernel by yourself is to build on a x86-64 host following https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/tree/main/compile-kernel, and modify the PKGBUILD here to use your output tarballs instead.
