= '''Overview''' =
Regular image builds are intended to test and develop the RISC-V (rv64gc) [https://en.altlinux.org/Ports/riscv64 port] of the [https://en.altlinux.org/Sisyphus Sisyphus] repository.


To learn more about regular image builds one could refer to [https://en.altlinux.org/Regular this article].
[[Regular|Regular image]] builds are intended for testing and development of the [[Ports/riscv64|RISC-V (rv64gc) port]] of [[Sisyphus]] repository.

The img.xz images must be unpacked and run according to the instructions: [[Ports/riscv64/QEMU]].
In order to run the image on the QEMU system one need to follow these steps:


'''Step 1.''' Install QEMU with riscv64 support. For example, in the case of ALT x86_64 system: [http://sisyphus.ru/en/srpm/Sisyphus/qemu qemu-system-riscv-core].
== HiFive Unmatched and Unleashed ==


'''Step 2.''' Get the [http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/ports/riscv64/Sisyphus/noarch/RPMS.classic/kernel-image-qemu-un-def-4.19.6-alt5.noarch.rpm Linux kernel for QEMU] and install it:
Images write in instructions are available on the board pages: [[HiFive Unmatched]] and [[HiFive Unleashed]].  
<source lang="shell">rpm --install <kernel package>.rpm</source>
After that, the Linux kernel for QEMU could be found at /usr/share/qemu-riscv64/vmlinux.


'''Step 3.''' Download one of the images for QEMU listed ([[#QEMU|above]]) and just replace <IMAGE> to the path of just downloaded qcow2 image:
== VNC ==
<source lang="shell">
 
$ qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -machine virt \
Images with graphical desktop environments provide an option to work remotely via VNC, which is especially useful if your board does not have a (working) video card. To use this option:

                      -m 2G -smp cpus=4,threads=2,maxcpus=8 \

In order to run the image on the HiFive Unleashed one need to follow these steps:


'''Step 1.''' [[#HiFive Unleashed|Download]] minimal system image with systemd, which is a ''tar'' archive with rootfs. To install the system one could choose between two options: [[#Automatic install on ALT Sisyphus|automatic install on ALT Sisyphus]] and [[#Manual install|manual]].
<source lang="shell">ALTERATOR_SETUP_VNC=1</source>


== Automatic install on ALT Sisyphus ==
or add a --vnc=1 argument for alt-rootfs-installer when it writes to a removable storage device.

'''Step 3.''' Run the <tt>alt-rootfs-installer</tt>. This script will automatically install the system on microSD card. For example, to install <tt>regular-builder-alpha20190329-riscv64.tar</tt> image on <tt>/dev/sdX</tt> with log output to <tt>/home/user/alt-rootfs-installer.log</tt>:
* connect to the board's serial port and wait for the information about the board network address and the VNC connection password:
<source lang="shell">
<source lang="shell">
$ alt-rootfs-installer --rootfs=/home/user/images/regular-builder-alpha20190329-riscv64.tar \
localhost login: ALTERATOR SETUP === VNC access enabled
                      --media=/dev/sdX \

To connect to a serial console (usually /dev/ttyUSB1) you can use GNU/screen:

'''Step 2.''' Untar the /boot directory from the archive from ''step 1''. For example, in the case of minimal system image with systemd:

<source lang="shell">
$ tar -xf regular-jeos-latest-riscv64.tar ./boot
$ screen /dev/ttyUSB1 115200
</source>
</source>
The ./boot/vmlinuz will contain symlink to the Linux kernel.


'''Step 3.''' Create the GPT table with two partitions on the microSD card:

Regular image builds are intended for testing and development of the RISC-V (rv64gc) port of Sisyphus repository.

Additional information:

The images are intended to be run in qemu without modification and written according to the instructions to removable storage devices for sequent loading on target boards. Аfter booting from one of the images below, use the following credentials to login: 

 login: root
 password: altlinux

For images with graphics the user will be asked to complete the initial setup in a graphical setup wizard at the first boot. During configuration, you can set the timezone, root password, password for connecting to VNC (if launched via VNC), create a new user, etc. On boards without a graphics adapter the graphical setup wizard must be run via VNC.

Download

Direct download links

These images are marked as tested:


Additional downloads

Some additional images are available on http://nightly.altlinux.org/sisyphus-riscv64/:

  • images in other formats (e.g. rootfs tarballs, or ISO images with installer);
  • stapshots -- builds from the past weeks, and the newest images that were not tested yet (if any).

QEMU

The img.xz images must be unpacked and run according to the instructions: Ports/riscv64/QEMU.

HiFive Unmatched and Unleashed

Images write in instructions are available on the board pages: HiFive Unmatched and HiFive Unleashed.

VNC

Images with graphical desktop environments provide an option to work remotely via VNC, which is especially useful if your board does not have a (working) video card. To use this option:

  • enable vnc mode in alterator-setup by uncommenting or adding a line to /etc/alterator-setup/config:
ALTERATOR_SETUP_VNC=1

or add a --vnc=1 argument for alt-rootfs-installer when it writes to a removable storage device.

  • connect to the board's serial port and wait for the information about the board network address and the VNC connection password:
localhost login: ALTERATOR SETUP === VNC access enabled
ALTERATOR SETUP === VNC Password="cobra-angel"
ALTERATOR SETUP === Default network device: "eth0"
ALTERATOR SETUP === IPv4: "10.0.2.15/24"
ALTERATOR SETUP === IPv6: "fec0::bee1:6f2d:ce4a:9c1d/64
fe80::6a0:ddd0:df03:e44d/64"
PORT=5900

To connect to a serial console (usually /dev/ttyUSB1) you can use GNU/screen: 

$ screen /dev/ttyUSB1 115200
  • connect to the VNC server. You can use remote-viewer -- a VNC client from the virt-viewer package:
$ remote-viewer vnc://<ip_address>:<Port>

Feedback

• Bug reports are tracked at ALT Linux Team bugzilla (see also: BugTracking):

  • In the case of any issue with a package choose product Sisyphus.
  • In the case of an issue with the images choose product Regular .

IMPORTANT:

  • set platform field (drop-down list at the right) to riscv64;
  • assign the issue to iv@altlinux.org.

• Mailing list: riscv-devel@lists.altlinux.org
