milkv-duo duo-buildroot-sdk builds FINE of Arch! genext2fs is only AUR pkg required
Arch is Good! For those considering tinkering with the milkV-duo boards, the documentation says it can only be built on Ubuntu and only on version 22.04 to avoid build issues. Nonsense, Archlinux is just fine. For those interested, the only AUR package needed is genext2fs. Other than that the normal Arch build tools are all that is needed. If you built for 2+ hours and then had packaging crash, don't worry, just build and install genext2fs, open the build.sh file, comment the 'get_toolchain' and 'milkv_build' lines and run it again - it will complete without issue (essentially makepkg -R). Experience is a good teacher. <snip couple of hours of build output> ... INFO: hdimage(milkv-duo.img): adding partition 'rootfs' (in MBR) from 'rootfs.ext4' ...
