piCore15.0 Beta

[Paul_123]

Team Tiny Core is happy to announce the first beta release of piCore-15.0.  Both 32 and 64bit images are ready for download/testing.

rpi-kernel 6.6.47
gcc 13.2.0
binutils 2.42
glibc 2.39
busybox 1.36.1
micropython 1.19
openssl 3.2.0.

32bit - http://www.tinycorelinux.net/15.x/armhf/test_releases/RPi/piCore-15.0.0-beta3.zip  (This should run on all rpi boards)
64bit - http://www.tinycorelinux.net/15.x/aarch64/test_releases/RPi/piCore64-15.0.0-beta3.zip  (rpi zero2W, pi3, pi4, pi5)

A couple of notes:

• armv6/7/7l repos have been replaced by an armhf repo, which contains 32 bit extensions
• When using 32bit images, the pi4 and pi5 will use a 64bit kernel.  please make sure to look at uname if manually downloading kernel module extensions.

Hello, I am getting Illegal instruction error executing openvpn binary, on  RPi Model 1B.

I have also checked the md5 and it does match.

I compiled openvpn 2.6.10 myself using your build file and it worked fine. I guess there is a cross compiling problem in your build environment?

Hi ovacikar
Just an observation about the version you compiled:
libnsl.so.1  no longer shows up as a dependency.

[ovacikar]

I do have this library:

Code: [Select]

sudo find / -name libnsl*
/lib/libnsl.so.1

[Rich]

Hi ovacikar
Yes, but it no longer shows up when you run:

Code: [Select]

ldd /usr/local/sbin/openvpn

[ovacikar]

Yes the first ldd is the broken one downloaded from repository

Second ldd is the working one I compiled myself on native host.

[Paul_123]

Thanks for the report.  I can confirm the problem, let me dig into whats going on.

[Paul_123]

Should be fixed,  Building on a 64bit kernel takes a little more precaution.   It was strip that was messing up the binary.

libnsl had nothing to do with the problem.  is depreciated in glibc, but we still enable it for nfs support.

[mortegai]

Have you recompiled all the tcz extensions for aarch64?
They are all different from version 14.x

[Paul_123]

No, they were resquashed with a 16k page size.  The kernel for the pi5 uses a 16k page, and could not open the extensions with the old 4k page.  14.x did not use this kernel for the pi5.

Thanks , reinstalled openvpn works fine now.

Hello, on previous piCore versions the disk activity led would blink rapidly during boot, so I could tell my headless Rpi is booting fine.

on 15.0 the led does not blink rapidly, it stays on during the boot process then turns off when disk activity ends.

I ended up adding this line to my bootlocal.sh to give me the same visual clue that boot process has completed:

Code: [Select]

echo heartbeat | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/ACT/trigger


[patrikg]

Maybe you can change that in the device tree.

[ovacikar]

Reassigning the disk activity LED to heartbeat ended up being a better solution. This could be implemented in final picore release.
