Using the Freedomboard with ArchLinux is tested and should work with any configuration. One open issue is the proprietary driver for debugging utils. Compiling C programs and running the binaries on the target is fully supported and tested.

Pitfalls

multilib is not enabled on 64bit systems

Since the whole gcc cross compiler for arm-none-eabi is in 32 bit, the given makefile will fail with a message that assumes it cannot find the compiler binary. However, it actually can find the binary of the compiler, but if fails finding the libs, since there are no 32bit libs available.

So if make fails with a message like ...arm-none-eabi-gcc: No such file or directory you probably have to enable the multilib option in your pacman config and update your system for it.
