Rocky 8 Raspberry Pi Images
These are preliminary, but they do work, and are full-featured (as far as I know!)
They have been tested on Raspberry Pi 4. If you are interested in testing on your Raspberry Pi 3, please tell us about it in our chat channel: https://chat.rockylinux.org/rocky-linux/channels/altarch
They have been tested on Raspberry Pi 3 and 4.
Rocky Linux WILL NOT WORK on a Raspberry Pi 1 or 2. They are 32-bit only, and Rocky Linux only supports arm64 (aarch64).
(edit: Raspberry Pi 2 version 1.2 boards are in fact 64-bit. There aren't too many of these, but they might work. Tell us if you have one!)
QUICK START:
####################################################
Download the latest image, and write it to your raw microSD memory card (or other boot device).
On Linux systems, simply do something like this: xzcat Rocky_Image_file.raw.xz > /dev/sdX
(where X is the letter of your usb or memory card device, you can use fdisk -l to find which one)
GUI WAY (Linux/Win/Mac)
Grab a program like Balena Etcher ( https://www.balena.io/etcher/ ) GUI-based disk writer.
Insert your SD card and follow the instructions. It will extract and write your disk image.
COMMAND LINE WAY (assumes Linux system on a root (sudo su) shell):
xzcat Rocky_Image_file.raw.xz > /dev/sdX
(where X is the letter of your usb or memory card device, you can use fdisk -l to find which one)
BE CAREFUL, be sure which device you are writing to before you do it! Don't accidentally blow away your laptop/desktop hard drive!

Once your storage device is written to, you should be able to plug it in to a Raspberry Pi and boot!

Run "sudo rootfs-expand" to grow the partition and use all of your memory card or hard drive.
TECHNICAL DETAILS ABOUT THE IMAGES:

- Minimal/base install, with some quality of life packages like vim,nano,bash-completion
- Additional repo that has Rpi kernels/firmware from the excellent raspberrypi2 repo from upstream CentOS
- Script/fix for the wifi on rpi4 (linux-firmware bug)
- Default user "rocky" (member of wheel, can use sudo). Root password disabled by default
- Partition layout: 300 MB /boot , 512 MB swap, ~2800 MB rootfs. Able to fit on a 4 GB or larger sd card
- Everything else should be more or less a standard Rocky aarch64 installation
