Apologies for the incorrect information provided earlier. According to the official Hardkernel website (https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc4/), the Odroid-HC4 does indeed feature the Amlogic S905X3 CPU.
The Amlogic S905X3 is a quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 processor designed for multimedia applications. It offers improved performance and efficiency compared to its predecessor, the Amlogic S905X2. The Odroid-HC4 utilizes the Amlogic S905X3 chipset to provide a powerful and energy-efficient platform for network-attached storage (NAS) purposes.
Thank you for pointing out the correct information, and I apologize for any confusion caused by the earlier response.

- mount and copy files into root partition
[alexlai@hc4MnBudgie ~]$ cd build/src/
[alexlai@hc4MnBudgie src]$ sudo mount /dev/sda3 root
mount: (hint) your fstab has been modified, but systemd still uses
the old version; use 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload.
[alexlai@hc4MnBudgie src]$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo bsdtar -xvpf ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest.tar.gz -C root
- cp root/boot into boot partition
$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 boot
$ sudo cp -Rvp root/boot/* boot/
- Edit boot/boot.ini as, PARTUUID will be accordingly
