set up fixed network IP addresses, specify WiFi login passphrases etc. You can view the wiki homepage here. You'll actually need to build two kernels, one for the RPi3, another for the RPi4. The following are some notes regarding optional maintenance tasks. For this naming format, the trailing digit is part of the drive name (partitions are labelled as e.g. For hardware-accelerated YouTube playback, please see this post. All the firmware needed to boot the Pi is found in the sys-boot/raspberrypi-firmware package: The following options may or may not be useful and are unchanged from earlier versions of the Raspberry Pi. To do so, issue: and comment out the following line, so it reads: (Your setup may have a cma specification following the vc4-fkms-v3d; it's still the same line, and should be commented.). The image is subscribed to the following ebuild repositories: gentoo: this is the main Gentoo tree of course, but is (by default) supplied via rsync://isshoni.org/gentoo-portage-pi64-gem, a weekly-gated, signature-authenticated portage rsync mirror locked to the binhost's available files, as described above. For more information about Gentoo's package management, see my notes here. Working logged in as your regular user, not root (for security), issue: This may take some time to complete, depending on the speed of your network connection. The microSD interface supports the trim command: If you have a suitable microSD card, consider adding fstrim to a weekly or monthly cron job. The previous release versions are still available (together with a detailed changelog) here. Post Cancel. ), so these may be freely uninstalled or modified as required (if you only intend to install additional applications however, you can specify the apps USE flag for rpi-64bit-meta, and then remove libreoffice, firefox etc from your @world set (/var/lib/portage/world). PermitRootLogin yes has explicitly been set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and sshd is present in the default runlevel. As of version 1.2.0 of the image, the SPI interface has been activated (via /boot/config.txt); feel free to comment this out again if you need the GPIO lines it uses. If you are interested in a Docker variant of the image, please see necrose99's notes here. If this interests you, please see my wiki entry on this subject, here. If you have a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 , you have the opportunity to pick the 64-bit variant too. Please note: this image boots to a command line, not a GUI, and is only suitable for experienced Gentoo users. If you have an RPi4, and would like to configure a dual monitor setup, please see these notes (also contains some useful hints for single monitor deployment, applicable to all models). This runs the CRU at 600MHz all he time. See my full instructions here, here and here on this project's open wiki. Alternatively, if you set up distcc with crossdev (also covered in the instructions below), you can call pump make instead of make to automatically offload kernel compilation workload to your PC. Using -mtune=cortex-a72. Once this is done, it will launch a standard Xfce desktop, logged in automatically to the pre-created demouser account. As of version 1.3.1 of the image, and as noted earlier, a simple tool, pyconfig_gen has been provided, for easy (GUI-based) update of (a subset of the features contained in) the /boot/config.txt file on the RPi3. That '*' in front of versions 1.12 and 1.13 indicates that the package has not yet been reviewed by the Gentoo devs for the arm64 architecture, but that its versions 1.12 and 1.13 have been reviewed as stable for some other architectures (in this case, amd64, ppc and x86 - you can see this by reviewing the matching ebuilds, at /usr/portage/app-editors/shed/shed-1.12.ebuild and /usr/portage/app-editors/shed/shed-1.13.ebuild). The output may be reviewed in /var/log/latest-fixup-run.log. All packages have been brought up to date against the Gentoo tree as of 11 June 2020. Simply click Applications→Settings→Keyboard, select the Layout tab, ensure Use system defaults is unchecked, and then, in the Keyboard layout section, click on Add to insert the layouts you need to use. Theres a veritable treasure trove of operating system (OS) options for the Raspberry Pi. Note that as of version 1.1.2 of the image, a number of Xfce 'fixups' will automatically be applied when a new user logs in for the first time; these include:1) synchronizing compositing to the vertical blank (without which menus flash annoyingly under VC4);2) setting window move and resize opacity levels; and3) ensuring the desktop background displays on login (otherwise it often stays black; note that this fix sometimes does not work for the first login of a new user, as noted above).They are managed by the xfce-extra/xfce4-fixups-rpi3 package (which inserts an entry into /etc/xdg/autostart/). A program for improving image files from digital cameras (HDR etc). Stage 3 openrc 2021-02-06 160 MiB Stage 3 systemd 2021-02-06 177 MiB. Should you setup crossdev on your PC in this manner, you can then take things a step further, by leveraging your PC as a distcc server (instructions here on the wiki). Installing ARM64 .net core sdk in Raspberry Pi. It comes with all the applications offered by Google like Gmail, drive, access, docs, keeps, etc. Tip: if you'd like to set up a persistent dual-monitor setup on an RPi4, please see my short tutorial on this project's open wiki here (this also contains useful hints for setting up a single display). NB some of the following notes need updating for the new 1.6.0 image. Please also note that support for arm64 is still in its early stages with Gentoo, so it is quite possible that you may encounter strange bugs etc. For the 'lite' image, a card marked as >= 8GB should suffice (as this image is 755MiB compressed, 7.25GiB == 7.78GB uncompressed). Note, however, that in the case of this 'lite' image, after the startup / resize process has completed, you will be landed at a console login prompt (although it is simple enough to parlay to a basic X11 desktop if you wish). NB - if your connected computer monitor or TV output appears flickering or distorted, you may need to change the settings in the file config.txt, located in the microSD card's first partition (this partition is formatted vfat so you should be able to edit it on any PC; alternatively, when booted into the image, it is available at /boot/config.txt). Use of the provided binary kernel packages is optional, you can always uninstall them (by editing the file /etc/portage/package.use/rpi-64bit-meta, setting the -kernel-bin USE flag, then issuing emerge -v rpi-64bit-meta) and building your own kernel instead, if desired. This prevents you from locking yourself out by specifying (e.g.) Bootable 64-bit Gentoo image for the Raspberry Pi4B, 3B & 3B+, with Linux 5.4, OpenRC, Xfce4, VC4/V3D, camera and h/w codec support, weekly-autobuild binhost. (Incidentally, the build is forced to run at the lowest system priority, to prevent your machine becoming too unresponsive during this process.). It won't affect your ability to build other packages on your RPi3/4. The RPi3 (and even the RPi4, although significantly better) does not have a particularly fast processor when compared to a modern PC. Setup. Use the provided binary packages at your own risk. Active today. When it has completed, go into the newly created linux directory, and set up the baseline configuration. The @world set of packages (from /var/lib/portage/world) pre-installed on the image may be viewed here (note that the version numbers shown in this list are Gentoo ebuilds, but they generally map 1-to-1 onto upstream package versions). On the RPi3 B+ and RPi4 B, dual-band WiFi is supported. Compile dan Install Kernel Source di Gentoo Raspberry Pi 4. As such, updating (via genup, for example, or an old-school eix-sync && emerge -uDUav --with-bdeps=y @world) is much less onerous than before, and so has been automated on the image (via the app-portage/weekly-genup package, which installs a script in /etc/cron.weekly). Note however that this is still work in progress, so you may experience issues with certain applications. Retired as of version 1.3.0 of this image in favour of Gentoo's official gemato verification. Then you can try installing it, using emerge: Once this completes, you can use your new package! For further details, please see my wiki tutorial here. And also as of version 1.6.0, you can dynamically switch the output route for audio (HDMI or headphones) by right-clicking the volume icon in the top panel bar (beside the clock) and selecting Open Mixer from the drop-down menu; you can then choose the route in the Playback tab's dropdown. Provides some tools useful for inspection of Intel firmware images (used with me_cleaner, above).
