I’d be down to try this.
Is there a filetree version of this for installing it to SSD?
Is there any support for amdgpus?
You can write the unpacked image to SSD with Milk-V Jupiter Install OS Image | Milk-V
or boot from SD card and write with dd to SSD.
The core is from vendor, support was added in 6.6

Can we set clock over 1.8GHz?

Hi,
Thanks for your efforts first of all. With Bianbu OS I see HDMI output but with your image, not. Only SSH or Serial Console works for me by default. Can you tell me how to make HDMI work? Is it framebuffer only or is it imagination gpu?
Thanks!

so, I gave incomplete information, I’m correcting it

if we are talking about the image on the 6.6.y kernel, then the kernel is from bianbu.
if about the 6.13.y kernel, then this kernel is not official and on the Banana Pi BPI-F3 board in the graphical interface and even in the console when starting mc the signal breaks down, but on the Lichee Pi 3A everything works fine. Milk-V Jupiter cannot be tested due to the lack of one.

I see. Your OS is very interesting for me. If I use the images_build_kit from gitlab, I need to select legacy on the kernel sources env option and the GUI env also set to the right thing right?
Thank you!

yes, just run ./build.sh

I’m glad its working well, better than Bianbu default image for me but I see that even after enabling contrib, most useful packages are missing like chat apps such as pidgin or gajim. How do I install them? I just compile them manually by downloading the sources from the respective sites? It wont fail to compile? Is there needed developement packages to install before hand for the os? I’m new to Crux/Irradium but I’m learning using information online. Thanks!
PS: I’m not new to source distros. Ive used Gentoo before but your OS repos dont seem to have many packages available from what I can see. Is there other repos than contrib I can add which have tons of packages?

Here is the port system as in freebsd, installation:
update ports:
ports -u
search for ports:
prt-get search pidgin
prt-get search gajim
installation: prt-get depinst gajim
If there are no ports gajim and pidgin is missing.
Missing ports must be either added or created by yourself.
See additional ports here.
Here how to create your own.

Awesome. I found what I needed using the ports repos search function on Crux website. Thanks, I’ll try some more packages out.

Is this able to be installed on an NVME if so how ? also does it support getting a desktop up an running ? if so how ?

installing on NVME, the easiest way:
- partition the NVME disk as you like
- copy everything from the SD card or from the image to NVME
- in the /boot/uEnv.txt file on the SD card, change 32539e08-a5c0-4084-9f32-0932043d95e3 to the UUID of the root partition on NVME
- in the /etc/fstab file on NVME, change 32539e08-a5c0-4084-9f32-0932043d95e3 to the UUID of the root partition on NVME
yes, for this, install the image with xfce.
