Build

Instruction on how to build can be found in the User Manual.

For beginners, it could be easier to use kas-based approach that allows to simply configure and run build using menu. Look at kas/README for the instructions.

Try

To test the QEMU image, run the following command:

    $ start_vm -a <arch of your build> -d <distro of your build>

Ex: Architecture of your build could be arm,arm64,i386,amd64,etc. Distribution of your build could be buster, bullseye, bookworm, trixie, etc.

The default root password is 'root'.

To test the RPi board, flash the image to an SD card using the instructions from the official site, section "WRITING AN IMAGE TO THE SD CARD": https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md

Supported distributions

List of supported distributions, architectures and features can be found in the Supported_Configurations.
