Hi,
I'm trying to install Arch Linux on my Raspberry Pi 400, which has an ARMv8 processor.
I got the raspberrypi-archlinux-installer.img.xz file from the b09 release and used Raspberry Pi Imager to flash it onto my SD card.
I couldn't connect to the Wi-Fi, so I used an Ethernet cable instead to do the installation. When I tried to connect to a wireless network (in Network Settings), it instantly took me back to the Network Settings screen.
Everything went correctly when I installed (I chose the linux-rpi core) Arch + Sway, but then there was an issue with the last boot. Actually, the tty1 got stuck on the step [ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface. I had a look to see if there was a way to run Sway manually via another tty, but I couldn't find any commands that would work.
I tried installing Arch with no graphical interface because I couldn't find a solution to the problem. Everything's fine here, but I can't activate the wlan0 interface. I tried to see if it was recognised by ifconfig, but it wasn't. I tried activating it with sudo modprobe brcmfmac, but it didn't work because brcmfmac wasn't in the /lib/modules/6.12.17-2-rpi/ folder (actually, this folder doesn't even exist, but /lib/modules/6.12.55-1-rpi/ does). When I ran the ls /sys/class/net/ command, it only showed lo and eth0.
I chose those options :
<boot>
<updates and installs>
<reboot>
<boot>
1 Install Arch Linux
7 More languages
2 English
6 en_GB (United Kingdom)
Yes
1 Yes, this is correct (here, it's Europe/Paris)
alarm
<username and password>
2 linux-rpi (core)
13 Sway
1 Find fastest mirrors
Install
<Installation (Part 1)>
<reboot>
6 Ethernet Restart
<wait for Internet to be connected>
1 Back
<Installation (Part 2)>
<install required packages>
Error while installing linux-rpi (should probably have used --overwrite='*')
<reboot>
The last boot stops on this output without starting Sway :

Maybe you know what the issue is ?
Cheers!
