Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce that Tiny Core 17.0 Beta1 is available for public testing:
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/17.x/armhf/release_candidates/RPi/
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/17.x/aarch64/release_candidates/RPi/
This is an beta level cut. If you decide to help test, then please test carefully. We don't want anyone to lose data.
Since this is an beta cut, we ask that only experienced users test. This cut is not for general use. The features in any alpha are not fixed and may change before a public release candidate is available.
We appreciate testing and feedback.
Changelog for 17.0 alpha1:
* kernel updated to 6.18.16
* glibc updated to 2.42
* gcc updated to 15.2.0
* binutils updated to 2.45.1
* e2fsprogs base libs/apps updated to 1.47.3
* util-linux base libs/apps updated to 2.41.2
Changes for alpha2:
* Adjust config.txt for the 32bit versions. For console HDMI support. (The firmware framebuffer is pretty much useless anymore, this is a workaround to use the builtin kernel simple-fb)
* Include XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in .profile
Changes for Beta1:
* Upgrade to kernel 6.18.28 (Hopefully this is the kernel Raspi Releases with RaspiOS)

piCore boots without problems, but the latest kernel module extensions are missing 🙂

piCore64 also OK

I knew I was forgetting something. I had them in my local staging area, but missed a few steps. They are up now
