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

Additional information:

on Regular images: Regular;
on riscv64 Sisyphus port: Ports/riscv64;
#Feedback.

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:

jeos-systemd: riscv64 ^[1]

lxqt: riscv64

mate: riscv64

xfce: riscv64

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.
