Radix Cross Linux 1.9.226 Distribution Released

The next version of the distribution of Radix Cross Linux 1.9.226 is set to be released. This version has been built using the assembly system provided by Radix.pro, which aims to simplify the process of creating distributions for built-in systems. The distribution is available for devices based on the RISC-V, ARM/ARM64, MIPS, and X86/X86_64 architectures. The loading images, as per the instructions provided in the platform download section, include a local repository of packages, eliminating the need for an internet connection. The code of the assembly system can be accessed under the MIT license from this link.

One of the additions in the 1.9.226 release is the inclusion of the GRUB and EdK II assembly specifically for the Orange Pi 5 device, which is based on the SOC RK35888S. The Edk II image (range-pi5.spi-flash.image) can be found in the Orange-Pi5 catalog and can be flashed using U-boot or mtd-tools. If the system is installed on an NVME-disk (/dev/nvme0n1) using the provided setup, the Edk II system will be installed automatically, allowing users to work with the board similar to a regular PC and install various operating systems from external media.

Furthermore, an image for the SBC Visionfive2 with the RISC-V architecture has also been released. Tools have been created for this architecture, enabling the compilation of programs using GNU LIBC and the development of programs for microcontrollers such as GD32VF103 and many others. These tools can be found in the toolchains catalog that supports all popular
