Hello pAul,
You forgot about the intructions for download

(Remove .sha at the end for the actual image. Home server, so be kind...)

You need to copy the link, paste it and remove '.sha' from the name, before continue to download..
or get it here( I removed the '.sha' )

That image is by MetaYan, you can also find him in the irc chanel #devuan-arm

Best Regards,
tux

This is the first image that seem to work flawless on my Pi4 4G! Thanks for the work. I am going to give it an extensive test.

Re: Is any work planned for devuan on the raspberry pi 4?

Little snag, this image as well as all pi3 images simply rfuse to accept changing the keyboard layout on the tty, apperently this is hardcoded somewhere. I have not been able to find where.

/etc/default/keyboard - you might need to install console-setup before you get that file. Also check your locale is set right and generated.

Re: Is any work planned for devuan on the raspberry pi 4?

This is like a updated version of the above.
So I took the long weekend to create a Image maker.
While playing with it the foundation opened archives up to arm64.
So the raspberrypi.gpg.key is included, along with a raspi.list.
Thus the kernel and pi stuff comes directly from them.
Or can, I think Devuan over rulez.

You can get the image from my gitlab.

sudo git clone https://github.com/ShorTie8/Devuan-imager

A user devuan/toor has been created, for yucks now, I guess.
I had set it up to test my vcgencmd as a user, but not really needed now.
As it is from the foundation now.
root passwd is also toor.

ssh --no-install-recommends has been installed for headless.
EXTRAS="dhcpcd5 fake-hwclock ntp mlocate parted wpasupplicant".

Made up a init for growpart.
So root is AutoMagically expanded @ run level 2.

Switched over to UUID for cmdline.txt and fstab.
The growpart init checks fdisk for mmcblk.
If there does 'growpart /dev/mmcblk0 2'.
Otherwise does 'growpart /dev/sda 2'.
So as soon as they get usb boot pushed thru, should be able to use the Image on a sdcard or usb device.
Pleaze be nice and hook up any extra drives after 1st boot.

Have a Great Day

Re: Is any work planned for devuan on the raspberry pi 4?

psst, The foundation has a newer kernel then in the image.
So don't forget the apt update/upgrade

Re: Is any work planned for devuan on the raspberry pi 4?

Hello,
I would make a Image of RPi4, but I don't own one..
If you agree in be a beta tester, sure I will do!!

I have a RPi 4GB and I'm eager to test - just ping me if needed :-)
Thanks!

Re: Is any work planned for devuan on the raspberry pi 4?

psst, The foundation has a newer kernel then in the image.

Should be noted that the difference between the armhf and arm64 packages are kernel versions - both packages contain both 32 and 64 bit kernels, but the ones tagged +arm64 are kernel 5.4.x where the armhf contains 4.19.118.

I am sure if you are willing to unpack and copy over by hand, you can get up to 5.x on even a 32 bit Pi that way.

Great work, btw, ShorTie - still running on my own solution posted elsewhere, but yours is much much more user friendly

Re: Is any work planned for devuan on the raspberry pi 4?

That is why I was wondering about chimaera for arm64, as the kernel headers are closer I do believe .. ~

Devuan image builder - https://github.com/pyavitz/rpi-img-builder/tree/devuan
You can find sample images under release - https://github.com/pyavitz/rpi-img-builder/releases

As far as I know all the usual suspects work. HDMI, Audio, Bluetooth, Wifi, Eth... etc.

If you find any bugs or have a request than open an issue at the hub.

Now supports - BCM2711, 2710, 2708.

Re: Is any work planned for devuan on the raspberry pi 4?

I posted an SD card image builder script for RPi series at
http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3871
A created SD card works fine on RPi 4B 8GB model.

Edit: Built SD card images are available at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ … sp=sharing

Re: Is any work planned for devuan on the raspberry pi 4?

I gave the chimaera img for the Rpi4 a spin but wasn't able to connect to it again after update. Jumped over onto ther Geowulf and it worked great. Nice and clean just put on it what I needed. Playing round with libcamera and some of the alternatives for performance and quality of output. Great fun!

Re: Is any work planned for devuan on the raspberry pi 4?

but wasn't able to connect to it again after update.

The recent version of raspi-firmware has a bug deleteing arm_64bit=1 from config.txt in its upgrade and installation, as reported at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=975943. This bug makes linux-image-arm64 completely unbootable. Manually adding arm_64bit=1 to config.txt in the first DOS partition of an SD card make it bootable again...
