Application for flashing images

We have our own GUI app to make it easy for users to flash a Manjaro ARM image on to an SD card, eMMC card or USB stick.
If you are on Manjaro ARM, simply install manjaro-arm-flasher and launch the app “Manjaro ARM Flasher” from your menu. This will download and flash the image of your choice.

You can also manually run the application (if you are not running Manjaro ARM) by downloading this python script, make it executable with chmod +x manjaro-arm-flasher, install the dependencies listed in the README.md and then run it with sudo ./manjaro-arm-flasher.

First Time setup on Minimal edition

This release sports the First Time setup for all Minimal images, also via SSH. This means that at first boot, you will be asked about the following:

  • keyboard layout (except on pinebook, that is fixed to us layout)
  • username
  • additional user groups (optional)
  • full name
  • password for that username
  • password for root
  • timezone
  • locale
  • hostname

Then the setup script will set these settings and reboot to the login screen.

manjaro-arm-flasher got this error,

here seems to be a problem connecting to the internet. You’ll be able to flash local images only. If you want to download remote images, please check your connectivity and try again.

That means the application could not contact github.com.

So either your internet connection is down on the device, or you don’t have access to Github, because it’s blocked for some reason.

I have the same trouble.
Network is fine both wired & Wi-Fi, but arm-flasher give connection error.

Tips for running Manjaro ARM 22.10 on an obsolete amlogic S905 TV box:

  1. Download and flash Manjaro-ARM-minimal-generic-22.10.img.xz to SD card.
  2. Download bootfiles.tgz and extract all file to FAT partition, you could not boot S905 box without these necessary files. (These files are from previous Manjaro ARM releases)
  3. Select proper u-boot file and rename to u-boot.ext. I renamed u-boot-s905 to u-boot.ext, select the working one for yours.
  4. Edit extlinux.conf to use the proper DTB file.

As for 6.0 kernel, ODROID works best for me, which may vary between different devices.
