# Arch Linux ARM for Odroid C4

This repository contains instructions and scripts for building a full Arch Linux ARM image for the Odroid C4 single board computer.

## Prerequisites

On your Arch Linux host system, install the required QEMU packages:

```bash
sudo pacman -S qemu-base qemu-user-static qemu-user-static-binfmt
```

## Building the Kernel

1. Clone the Armbian build repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/armbian/build
cd build
```

2. Run the kernel build:
```bash
./compile.sh \
  BOARD=odroidc4 \
  BRANCH=current \
  KERNEL_ONLY=yes \
  KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no \
  RELEASE=jammy  # Doesn't matter for kernel-only
```

## Notes

- The kernel build uses Armbian's build system to generate a compatible kernel for the Odroid C4
- The RELEASE parameter doesn't affect kernel-only builds
- QEMU user-static emulation is required for cross-compilation on x86_64 hosts
