Kernel
This image is intended for use on Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3, and Repka Pi 3:
- by default, it uses kernel 5.15.92-rpi-def-alt2, which also supports Repka Pi 3;
- on the FAT partition, kernel 6.6.23-rpi-un-alt1 is installed for Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3.
For information on writing images, see the instructions on ALT Linux Wiki.
An SD card with at least 16 GB of storage is required to write the images.
Features
The image includes the U-Boot bootloader for Repka Pi 3, allowing the image to be written not only using alt-rootfs-installer but also using dd. The design and texts used for the Simply Linux distribution have been modified to indicate the image status - ALPHA1.
The image features a test version of the package rpi4-boot-switch-0.15-alt1, which adds 3D acceleration for RPi5 (see config.txt). The boot mode switching, as on RPi4 and RPi3, is not available for RPi5 since U-Boot for RPi5 is missing from the repository.
