Configuration for Manjaro ARM edition installed on Raspberry Pi 4.

Raspberry PI Configuration for Arch linux

This repository contains script and pre-configured dotfiles to automate installing of commonly needed packages. Tested the script on Manjaro XFCE ARM edition installed on RPi 4B.

Please read it first and modify it according to your needs instead of blindly running it.

Usage

$ git clone https://github.com/ManuSekhon/raspberrypi-arch-dotfiles
$ cd raspberrypi-arch-dotfiles
$ chmod a+x install.sh
$ ./install.sh

Features

Some of the packages Script installs and configures are:

• Enables RPi SPI interface.
• Enables RPi I2C interface and modules.
• Enables non-root access to GPIO, SPI and I2C interface.
• Installs GPIOtest library for faulty pin testing. (use gpiotest on terminal to run it)
• Enables bluetooth, network, ssh, redis service if not already running.
• Replaces default shell with ZSH (Oh-my-zsh).

Use VNC server

Script installs TigerVNC server on Raspberry Pi. You can use any client like RealVNC to remotely access desktop. Run below commands to start VNC server. I have not added these commands to startup.

# Create vnc password
$ vncpasswd
# Start VNC server
$ x0vncserver -display :0 -geometry 1280x768 -PasswordFile /home/<user>/.vnc/passwd
