Is this working with LX2162a and is it possible to use grub behind u-boot?
apt install btrfs-progs
mkfs.btrfs /dev/nvme0n1p1
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt
cd /mnt

I tried to adapt this guide to ArchLinuxARM but it doesn’t boot with the generic image on
libera.chat they said that will be a problem with u-boot. Is there a way to adapt u-boot for ArchLinux?
Those instructions should be correct. What those instructions are doing is only using Gentoo userspace from a different storage medium. The LX2162a is still booting from the eMMC using the vendor bootloader and kernel, and then switching to a Gentoo based userspace.
I am a bit confused here. What is the problem? According to the logs u-boot is trying mmc0 and failing and switching to mmc1 where it finds the extlinux.conf and is loading /boot/Image.gz and the .dtb from mmc 1:1, the kernel is booting and then initializing mmcblk1p1 as the rootfs.
If you want to change the rootfs then you need to change the root= line in the extlinux.conf on the eMMC filesystem to point to your sata/usb/nvme device.
