ox64 flashing added Archlinux commands

[giorez]

@x1y I re-tested the guide to work also on Arch Linux system.

A strange behaviuor when I copy & paste the code from the web page:

rendered text:

$ BASE=ppp-multi-image
$ DEV=sdb # i.e. sdb or mmcblk0
$ ATTR=RequiredPartition,LegacyBIOSBootable
$ SIZE=11GiB

copied & pasted text:

BASE=ppp-multi-image

DEV=sdb # i.e. sdb or mmcblk0

ATTR=RequiredPartition,LegacyBIOSBootable

SIZE=11GiB

Every line add a new-line.

[x1y]

Every line add a new-line.

Please open an issue, I don't have time to look into it right now and otherwise it will be forgotten.

bflb-iot-tool shouldn't be run as root for reasons explained in the same document ...

I don't think it is required for minicom either. If you create a PR I will merge it.

On my new Arch Linux installation, if I use a regular user, I get permission error, anyway I revised the page accroding to your request.

@giorez Run ls -l /dev/ttyACM0 on your Arch Linux system to find out which group is allowed to talk to serial ports.

@Pavlos1 thanks Pavel for the tip, you are my teacher! I revisioned the page on https://github.com/pine64/website/pull/93/files.

$ ls -l /dev/ttyACM0
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 166, 0 May 2 12:48 /dev/ttyACM0
$ ls -l /dev/ttyACM1
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 166, 1 May 2 12:48 /dev/ttyACM1

$ cat /etc/group
...
uucp:x:986:gio
...

Minicom command permission has been fixed, unfortynatelly, i keep getting permission error when I run:
$ bflb-iot-tool --chipname bl808 --interface uart --port $PORT --baudrate $BAUD --addr 0x0 --firmware bl808-combined.bin --single

Yeah that's what the warning about bflb-iot-tool creating root-owned files in your home directory was about. Run sudo rm -rf /home/gio/.local/share/virtualenvs/ox64-Qkt4LDkf and try again. (This will wipe your virtual environment so you'll need to do the pipenv stuff again.)

it worked perfectly, thanks again for your patience.
