These scripts compile, copy, bake, unpack and flash a ready to use RISC-V Archlinux.
With "ready to use" i mean that it boots, you still need to configure everything!
Special thanks to smaeul for all their work!
Find a precompiled image under the Actions artifacts. The image has no configuration or whatsoever!
Also have a look at the forks that have emerged over time or similar projects like a make file based approch.
There are multiple sources for an Archlinux image:
sifive
archriscv
)pacman -Sy riscv64-linux-gnu-gcc swig cpio python3 python-setuptools base-devel bc
chroot
into the RISC-V image, you also need arch-install-scripts qemu-user-static qemu-user-static-binfmt
consts.sh
to your needs. For example, you may want to select a different DTB for a different board variant.1_compile.sh
which compiles everything into the output
folder.2_create_sd.sh /dev/<device>
to flash everything on the SD card.Simply loop it using sudo losetup -f -P <file>
and then use /dev/loopX
as the target device.
The second script requires arch-install-scripts
, qemu-user-static-bin
(AUR) and binfmt-qemu-static
(AUR) for an architectural chroot.
If you don't want to use/do this, change USE_CHROOT
to 0
in consts.sh
.
Keep in mind, that this is just a extracted rootfs with no configuration. You probably want to update the system, install an editor and take care of network access/ssh
Some commits are pinned, this means that in the future this script might stop working since often a git HEAD is checked out. This is intentional.
The second script uses sudo
for root access. Like any random script from a random stranger from the internet, have a look at the code first and use at own risk!
Things are rebuild whenever the corresponding output/<file>
is missing. For example, the kernel is rebuilt when there is no Image
file.
