OpenAstro Linux v1.2

OpenAstro Linux v1.2 - AlpacaBridge 3.5.1 + boot jingle

Rootfs image for the ASIAIR Plus RK3568 (flash with sudo scripts/install or sudo scripts/flash-rootfs). Boot-tested in systemd-nspawn (clean boot, AlpacaBridge active). Not yet hardware-validated on a bench unit.

Changes since v1.1

• AlpacaBridge updated to 3.5.1 (preinstalled ASCOM Alpaca server + web portal on port 6800)
• Boot jingle on the AirPlus buzzer (openastro-beep.service, matching the Pi-based Pro image's chirp) - piezo identified as pwm_gpio index 3/GPIO0_B7, driven in PWM mode; no longer depends on Time::HiRes
• Corrected pwm_gpio.h ioctl decode (enable/disable were swapped, set_mode/set_level shifted), verified live against stock firmware
• Hardened flasher scripts: latest-release tag resolution (no hardcoded version), download timeouts, atomic capture-safe downloads, offline cache fallback, up-front root check
• Everything else matches v1.1: OpenAstro system layer, OpenAstro-XXXX hotspot @ 172.24.1.1 (5 GHz ch36, enabled by default), per-unit SSH host keys on first boot, stock 4.19.219 kernel modules and BCM43456 firmware

OpenAstro Linux v1.1

OpenAstro Linux v1.1 - AlpacaBridge preinstalled

Rootfs image for the ASIAIR Plus RK3568 (flash with sudo scripts/install or sudo scripts/flash-rootfs). Hardware-validated end to end: clean build, first boot, hotspot, SSH, and the AlpacaBridge portal.

Highlights

• AlpacaBridge 3.4.0 preinstalled (ASCOM Alpaca server + web portal on port 6800) with the WiFi manager and its polkit rule; updates via apt from apt.openastro.net
• Standard OpenAstro system layer: hostname openastro, unique per-unit SSH host keys generated on first boot, root SSH login disabled, persistent journald, ZWO HID udev rule, hardware-access groups
• WiFi hotspot OpenAstro-XXXX @ 172.24.1.1 (5 GHz ch36), fleet defaults, per-board SSID suffix on first boot
• WiFi-manager prerequisites per the AlpacaBridge rk3568 notes: polkitd, wpasupplicant, wireless-regdb, iw, systemd-timesyncd, nvram ccode=US (was DE)
