I installed the package vboot-utils and input command sudo crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 dev_boot_signed_only=0 ,but it gave me this:

execv() of mosys failed
waitpid() or mosys error
Parameter dev_boot_usb is read-only

Just ran into this (albeit with PrawnOS, not archlinux). However, since this is the first google hit, and no one has replied in two years, hopefully it's helpful for you or the next person..

The error isn't super helpful on its own, but running mosys failed. Make sure you have mosys installed in $PATH (probably, /usr/sbin). If not, you may need to compile/install it: https://github.com/dhendrix/mosys
