Hey guys,
how about creating a wiki/FAQ for the Manjaro ARM like we got this one: https://wiki.manjaro.org/
Should help many people and and reduce the same questions in the forum.
regards

What would you propose to have in the wiki?
I think some manjaro-specific (as in stuff not already covered by the Arch Wiki) stuff perhaps. mhwd, manjaro-chroot, Architect?
Those things are all covered in the manjaro wiki
What manjaro-arm-specifc things would you put on, for example, a manjaro-arm wiki page ?
Indeed they are. Didn’t even know there was a Manjaro Wiki.
Well there is.
Its kind of odd you didnt find it - is linked all over the place and at common ‘wiki.manjaro.org’ location.
Anyways … I think at least a ‘manjaro-arm’ page could make sense.
And I have access to the wiki.
But it would help to collect things to include there.
I think an ARM devices compatibility table would be good. Plus maybe the device specs.

Dunno, I could have done with a couple of those guides recently. Internet searches didn’t seem to pick them up.
Maybe over clock tips and tweaks for specific arm devices.

I mean specific things to ARM Devices categorized in each device.
Also Tips/Tricks, other improvements, …

Well … here it is …
now tell me how to fill it out…

Thank you. I dont want that you have to much work. I just thought that is a good idea.

Maybe add to supported devices Raspberry Pi 3b (but unoffically, but its working right now) ive installed it on my 3b and its working great with the 5.10 kernel so far.
-
How to update Kernels per Device or which kernel
-
Upgrading failure fix for Raspberrys:
For now for the 3b+ & 4b devices only:
sudo systemctl disable brcm43438.service
sudo pacman -S -dd brcm-patchram-plus firmware-raspberrypi
sudo systemctl enable attach-bluetooth.service
For now for the RPi’s pi 400 device only:
sudo systemctl disable brcm43438.service
sudo pacman -S -dd brcm-patchram-plus-pi400 firmware-raspberrypi
sudo systemctl enable attach-bluetooth-pi400.service
For now for the pi3b device only:
sudo systemctl disable brcm43438.service
sudo pacman -S -dd brcm-patchram-plus-pi3b firmware-raspberrypi
sudo systemctl enable attach-bluetooth-pi3.service
Reboot for the new bluetooth service to be picked up.
- Common working Overclock Settings for Raspberry Pi:
In your /boot/config.txt:
Change this:
over_voltage=6
arm_freq=2100
gpu_freq=650
-
Raspberry 4 working V4L2 Transcoding with FFMPEG installed
-
Raspberry Pi 3/4 USB Boot working with the bootloader from 2020-09-03
-
Config Options specific for the manjaro os(i dont know which, maybe some improvements with video)
Sorry for the awful formating of the text, dont found a better way.

Thanks for that. Most things merged in.
This is a critical link even if you’re not planning on contributing:
Yes we do need arm specific wiki as it is all known to the manjaro arm team only.
With Arm specific wiki it will help the users as well as the developer.
Who is ready to take this initiative?
Developers can update it when needed.

True.
The wiki is currently under cunstruction.
It was not previously open to the public because of vandalism.
We will see what happens in the future.
Until then you can relay anything here.
Seems good for the start. Maybe write the working USB Booting in cause manjaro is the only arch-like distro for arm where its working without modifications.
Should be a good info too. Ive literally tried 2 days to get arch running on 64bit usb boot - nothing reached. Tooked you iso, on first try.
I was thinking of a comparison table like this for all the devices currently supported by the Manjaro ARM installer:

Needs more sections, such as I/O, latest WiFi standard supported, latest Bluetooth standard supported, etc. My nomenclature may be off in places. Anyhow, it’s a start.
