Artemis ARM install works on Rpi CM4

Add this at the end of your /boot/cmdline.txt

usbhid.mousepoll=6

We have already recognized this issue and will release a new image with this.

I don’t think we want to go that way. I have tried out other distributions that offer that path and I have few issues with that:

  1. Images are compressed with xz method that take a long time to uncompress.
  2. Its a two step process to burn the image, first uncompress and then flash using Rpi imager
  3. During the install these installers have scripts that expand the image to the entire sd card. This restricts us in a way I’ll explain below

The way we do things

  1. We compress the image using zstd so uncompression speed is very fast for users. Some users have reported less than 1 min speeds
  2. Its a single step process. We use bsdtar to uncompress and burn the image in a single step
  3. We partition the sd card before burning the image. This allows us the flexibility to offer multiple file systems in the install options ext4 and btrfs.
  4. The way we do things is closer the arch way than using RPi imager.
  5. We are planning to integrate the entire process in calamares in the future.

Hope this helps.
