Slackware LPi4A Test Report

Test Environment

System Information

System Version: Slackware 15
- Download Link: http://dl.slarm64.org/slackware/images/lichee_pi_4a/
- Reference Installation Document: http://dl.slarm64.org/slackware/images/lichee_pi_4a/README.TXT

Hardware Information

Lichee Pi 4A (8GB RAM + 32GB eMMC)
Power Adapter
A USB to UART Debugger

Flashing Bootloader

Enter fastboot mode.

Press BOOT while powering on.
(Refer to the official tutorial) Use the fastboot command to flash u-boot.

sudo fastboot flash ram boot/u-boot-with-spl.bin
sudo fastboot reboot
sleep 10
sudo fastboot flash uboot boot/u-boot-with-spl.bin

Flashing Image

Use zstd to decompress the image. Use dd to flash the MicroSD card.

zstd -d slarm64-current-riscv64-core-lichee_pi_4a-5.10.113-build-20230704.img
dd if=slarm64-current-riscv64-core-lichee_pi_4a-5.10.113-build-20230704.img of=/path/to/device bs=1M

Logging into the System

Logging into the system via the serial port.

On initial startup, you will be prompted to set up the root password and create a user.

To transfer a system with the SD to eMMC, run the script: transfer-to-disk

Expected Results

The system should boot normally and allow login via the onboard serial port.

Actual Results

The system booted successfully and login via the onboard serial port was also successful.
