Re: Arch Linux on B3

The bootloader resids on the flash memory, on the motherboard. It will load any uImage it finds on the first partition of the first sata disk[1]. You need nothing in the disk's MBR like you do for a desktop computer. That said , (in case it is not clear) to boot the latest kernel from ArchlinuxARM y...

Re: Arch Linux on B3

If you can take out your HDD, you can also install directly on it. That's how I did when the original SSD died. :)

Re: Arch Linux on B3

Hi all ! @Henri: I won't be able to write a better howto than the official one: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba Follow the section "Server Configuration", it will do very well on the Bubba once you have your basic system running. A soldering iron is not required to setup Arch on...

I updated the wiki page, but I would need proof-reading, it's been a rather long time since I configured mine. URL look...

Re: Update UBOOT from OS

If you can start the rescue system, why don't you use it to flash the uboot? Yes, it may brick your device, but not more or less than using an USB to let uboot flash itself... Just don't forget to erase the partition first, or the write will fail.

Re: Update UBOOT from OS

Hi there !
Thanks for the details, the method works very well.
Do you think it deserves a page on the wiki, or would it be too risky to but such sensitive information there?
Glad to see how easy it is to run Arch on the Bubba now.
