ArgonOne

*** THIS CODE IS ARCHIVED AND NO LONGER MAINTAINED ***

This Arch Linux Package installs all needed scripts and services and configures a Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+ for Argon ONE Mini Computer Case. Raspberry Pi 4B is also supported, but you need use a different branch, which has been patched just for this SBC (scroll down to check out notes).
