 +**UPDATE:** the kernel links above are now dead, after wasting a lot of time to find and install a prebuild up-to-date kernel, i finally compiled it by myself, using mainline git kernel; see [[U-BOOT CM11 and ArchLinux multiboot]] for detailed instructions

 +**UPDATE**: unfortunately latest ArchLinuxARM-trimslice-latest.tar.gz image lacks some useful packages, needed to bring up wifi; so i downloaded (from 'core' section of ) and installed it manually :
