I will submit these updates on archlinux ARM github but i would prefer to have feedback before.
Packages :

I use the 3 first packages on 2 XU4 since some weeks without any regression.
As i've never really used x11 on my XU4, i don't think I tested mali+armsoc driver stack the right way : x11 log and es2_info give the same as official HardKernel ubuntu image, but all is laggy and glmark2-es2 give a very bad score. Help needed here
Full OS image :
You can follow the installation process described on official website : https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/samsung/odroid-xu4 .
Just replace step 6 by
wget https://github.com/ffaille/alarm-binaries/releases/download/240401/ArchLinuxARM-odroid-xu3-240401.tar.gz
bsdtar -xpf ArchLinuxARM-odroid-xu3-240401.tar.gz -C root
This image is basically the same as the official one, except it include uboot-odroid-xu3-2020.01, odroid-xu3-platform-24.03-1 and linux-odroid-xu3 6.1.77-1 and all the rest is up to date.
Note :
All these packages are just ports of HardKernel's excellents ones. The packages build files are inspired by the work of the archlinux ARM team. Most of the credit goes to them.
