Creating a Wiki/FAQ

Mangled · 19 November 2020 20:59

Maybe over clock tips and tweaks for specific arm devices.

pttrr · 19 November 2020 21:04

I mean specific things to ARM Devices categorized in each device.

Also Tips/Tricks, other improvements, …

cscs · 19 November 2020 21:57

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

https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Manjaro-ARM

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.

cscs · 19 November 2020 23:39

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.

cscs · 20 November 2020 00:00

@spikerguy Its done… now I need content.

anon80447176 · 20 November 2020 07:23

Says I can’t edit it. Only users hold the magical ability.

cscs · 20 November 2020 07:34

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.

pttrr · 20 November 2020 07:53

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.

anon80447176 · 20 November 2020 12:45

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.

There’s been a bug with peripherals (on some mouses) on arm. Usbhid.mousepoll value can be changed.

Also I noticed a bug on xfce desktop on arm, there’s a line that runs across bottom of the screen I can’t seem to figure out how to get rid of. Overlaps all of the windows.

Setting up printers on arm (due to most drivers being for amd64) as IPP if compatible.

Gaming controllers : kernel updated in unstable with modules added xpad. Once its released to stable, there might not be any config required.

Would be nice to see how to correct some of these issues or ways to tweak device to get around them.

Darksky · 20 November 2020 13:50

Which package of mesa do you have installed? mesa or mesa-git.

Mangled · 20 November 2020 13:52

I’m not sure to be honest. It was a fresh install of xfce desktop manjaro 20.10. It is the default mesa package installed. I began to notice it after changing wallpapers. It could have been there before as well.

Darksky · 20 November 2020 13:58

That would be mesa. I use xfce and do not have a line and have not seen any one else post about it. Monitor related?

Mangled · 20 November 2020 14:00

I’ll open a new thread on this. Im running it on my pbpro. I have not run into this issue with other distros.

Strit · 20 November 2020 14:06

I haven’t had this issue at all on any of my devices.

What devices have you tested with, to say it’s a general issue and not just an issue with your device + mouse combo?

Mangled · 20 November 2020 14:33

Sorry, I have made the correction. Its not a general issue. It is a device related problem that needed to be tweaked.

nrobinson2000 · 20 November 2020 19:20

I think some tips for enabling usage of the power button on the Pi 400 would be useful. I discovered how to get it working in XFCE yesterday: Raspberry Pi 400 Power Button
