mmcore v0.292.0

Bare-metal mmcore for Raspberry Pi. Each zip is a FAT-ready SD-card image
plus install-sdcard.sh for Linux, and native desktop builds are attached:
a Linux AppImage and a Windows x86_64 zip.

Install

unzip mmcore-console-rpi3-v0.292.0.zip
sudo ./install-sdcard.sh --bootstrap --model rpi3 /dev/sdX   # Pi 3 / 3B+ / 3A+

unzip mmcore-console-pizero2-v0.292.0.zip
sudo ./install-sdcard.sh --bootstrap --model pizero2 /dev/sdX  # Pi Zero 2

unzip mmcore-console-pizero2w-v0.292.0.zip
sudo ./install-sdcard.sh --bootstrap --model pizero2w /dev/sdX # Pi Zero 2 W

unzip mmcore-console-pi400-v0.292.0.zip
sudo ./install-sdcard.sh --bootstrap --model pi400 /dev/sdX  # Pi 400 / 4B / CM4

--update refreshes kernel and firmware without wiping BASIC files on C:.

Linux native (AppImage)

Run the desktop build on a Linux x86_64 host (SDL2 window; type at the prompt):

chmod +x mmcore-x86_64.AppImage
./mmcore-x86_64.AppImage

Linux framebuffer (KMS/DRM)

Run the KMS/DRM build from a text virtual terminal (no X11/Wayland):

tar -xzf mmcore-fb-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
./mmcore-fb-linux-x86_64/mmcore-fb

Bootable USB / ISO (Alpine, KMS/DRM)

The ISO ships compressed as mmcore-fb-x86_64.iso.zst. Decompress it,
then write it to a USB stick or microSD; install-usb.sh adds a persistent MMCORE
partition so BASIC files survive reboots:

zstd -d mmcore-fb-x86_64.iso.zst
sudo ./install-usb.sh --iso mmcore-fb-x86_64.iso /dev/sdX

install-usb.sh also accepts the compressed .iso.zst directly.
--read-write keeps the live session writable and persists C: on that
stick or microSD without installing onto an internal disk.

Windows native (x86_64)

Unzip and run mmcore.exe from Explorer or a terminal; keep the
bundled SDL2.dll next to it (the SDL2 window shows output and keyboard
input). The executable is Authenticode-signed for release builds.

Expand-Archive mmcore-windows-x86_64.zip .
.\mmcore-windows-x86_64\mmcore.exe

  • install-usb.sh — decompress/write the ISO to USB and add the persistent partition
  • mmcore-windows-x86_64.zip — Windows x86_64 native SDL2 build

Tests

Full test suite. broad/core change: console/Makefile matches console/Makefile, so the release could not be scoped to related suites.

Changes since v0.291.0

  • Add Pi vs fbdev perf analysis and opt-in frame profiler (#1401)
