Arch Linux (ARM) is a port of Arch Linux for ARM processors.

Development[]

Arch Linux ARM is based on Arch Linux, which is a minimalist Linux distribution first released on March 11, 2002. The idea of making a single, official port of Arch Linux for devices with ARM processors was born from members of the Arch Linux PlugApps and ArchMobile development teams, notably Mike Staszel, who went on to found the Arch Linux ARM project.

Support[]

Unlike Arch Linux, which is aimed at x86 CPUs (IA-32 and x86-64), Arch Linux ARM is aimed at low- and high-end ARM CPUs. On the low end there is support for ARMv5 platforms like plug computers and OXNAS-based ARMv6 Pogoplugs.
