Regular/riscv64

From ALT Linux Wiki
Русский

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.

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

Connecting via VNC (not the vnc provided by the qemu emulator) requires :

  • 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 via a serial port and wait for information about the address and 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) using GNU/screen use the command below: 

$ screen /dev/ttyUSB1 115200
  • connect via vnc using the remote-viewer vnc client from the virt-viewer package:
$ remote-viewer vnc://<ip_address>:<Port>
