annoying.) Flash the zip from internal memory, and when you reboot, it should boot into Arch Linux! Default password for root account is just 'root'. Hit the volume up button as soon as some text appears (if you don't do this fast enough, it will wipe your tablet. Reboot into recovery by holding the volume down button while turning the device on. This contains the 2.6.36.4 kernel along with a boot.cfg which instructs the device to boot mmcblk1p1, which is our microSD card containing Android. zip to the internal memory of your tablet. zip for your ROM in order to return to Android.ĭownload this. I use RaymanFX's CM10 build with his ELITE kernel, which means if I want to go back to Android, I just have to flash his ELITE kernel from this thread, however, that may not work on your ROM. If you want to boot into Android, you have to have a kernel blob available for your ROM. This is really just a blob file that contains the kernel, initrd, etc. Now we need to flash a file in CWM on the tablet that instructs the bootloader to boot Arch over Android. The microSD card should now contain the Arch image. Make absolutely sure you know what device your microSD card is before continuing.Ĭode: Select all sudo dd if=arch.img of=/dev/sdb1 bs=8M Failing at the next command can cause data loss to your computer. You'll need to determine the block device of your card for yourself, and replace /dev/sdb1 below with it. Plug your microSD card into your computer, then continue. Now, we need to stick this onto the microSD card. This is the exact same as building the image for a chroot, so if you have a trimslice chroot already on your TF101, then you can use that image instead. Īt this point, we have created a rootfs image called arch.img and extracted the trimslice rootfs to it. Thankfully I am able to take a lot of information from the various Ubuntu development to speed up this progress, and felt I should post this to try to get further interest and help.ĭd if=/dev/zero of=arch.img seek=749999999 bs=1 count=1
#Linux rom for tf101 drivers#
Today, I found out nvidia has released Tegra 2 drivers for the 3.1 kernel, so I figured I may as well get this underway. I have had a TF101 since launch, but have always shied away from getting Arch Linux (or worse, Ubuntu) on it due to the lack of proper GPU drivers. This should work on other TF models, but you may need different kernels. Data will be preserved through the flashing. You must flash a file in recovery to switch between the two operating systems. It is setup to dualboot Arch and Android. Installation to microSD card (which this guide uses) does not require an unlocked bootloader, as it does not touch the internal partition layout. This tutorial only works for Asus Transformer.prereq's: rooted TF101 with a custom recovery (CWM). If you are running Windows, this tutorial is not for you. Remember when nothing really worked, and we had to jump through hoops just to get battery monitoring, or power off working? This tutorial is based on Linux/Ubuntu.

A year and a half on, it’s much easier to get a fully-working Linux install on the Asus Transformer T100TA.
