Title: [Solved] Custom installed ARMtix on RPi4. Firmware not found
Post by: Folaht on 04 April 2025, 15:36:21
I've created an installer for a custom build of ARMtix as it'll have an app installed by default.  

But I'm still missing pieces for it to work. 
Currently I'm missing firmware.

As far as I can tell raspberrypi-firmware is needed from the alarm repository. 
Does anyone know how to best obtain that?

Hi. I downloaded the Arch Linux ARM image for RPi4 and copied the firmware files from that image's /boot to RPi4 storage.

Solved by mounting the partitions, artix-chrooting and downloading and installing the alarm firmware packages.

Code: [Select]
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /var/tmp/eqstalxr-bastij/mnt
sudo mount -o compress=zstd,subvol=@ /dev/sdd2 /var/tmp/eqstalxr-bastij/mnt
sudo mount -o compress=zstd,subvol=@home /dev/sdd2 /var/tmp/eqstalxr-bastij/mnt/home
sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /var/tmp/eqstalxr-bastij/mnt/boot
sudo artix-chroot /var/tmp/eqstalxr-bastij/mnt/
cd /var/tmp
wget http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/alarm/firmware-raspberrypi-20240831-2-any.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -U /var/tmp/firmware-raspberrypi-20240831-2-any.pkg.tar.xz
wget http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/alarm/raspberrypi-bootloader-20250331-1-any.pkg.tar.xz     
pacman -U /var/tmp/raspberrypi-bootloader-20250331-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -S linux-rpi

Unfortunately, I have run into another issue..
