This is a collection of packages that allow to run Arch Linux on the SM-P600 (Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 WIFI).

Currently, Arch Linux is booting on the SM-P600, but most components aren't working or weren't tested.

For creating a base image of Arch Linux, we're using the app Linux deploy. The app requires a rooted android device and a permissive Linux kernel (SELinux disabled) to work. A permissive kernel for the SM-P600 is available here.

1. Start Linux Deploy and go into the configuration tab.
2. Select armv7h as architecture
3. Make sure the SSH server is enabled
4. Choose as image destination /data/media/0/linux.img
5. Select Arch Linux as distribution
6. Press Install

The first step is to copy the SM-P600-* packages that were build in the build step to the tablet.

scp *.pkg.tar.xz android@[tablet_ip]:/home/android

Now you need to login on the tablet over SSH and execute the following steps:

sudo pacman -S base wpa_supplicant dialog --needed 
wifi-menu wlan0 #connect to you're wifi (this step will fail, but that's fine) 
netctl enable [wifi_name] #(the name of the wifi you created in the previous step)
cd /home/android
sudo pacman -U *
