raspi_update cannnot work on arch linux

[vinloren]

I tried to update the firmware via raspi_update but the process does not complete correctly since it expects to find kernel ver 3.2.7 installed but arch linux latest version is 3.1.9-34.

I tried the same on raspbian_wheezy and found it works correctly.

The pacman version of the updated firmware is in the queue and will probably be done today.
rpi-updater is a nifty tool, sometimes our firmware/kernel packages could be ahead of it though. I haven't looked at the updater tool for a while, but it did not draw binaries direct from rpi github when I last looked.
The author of rpi-updater needs to be told there is a (minor) problem

I checked, rpi-update pulls kernel/firmware not from source.
2 updates have happened in arch since my last post, none on rpi-update, so at the moment arch is ahead
I see it reported already, as noted in you original post

If it was fixed right now, you would actually go backwards
