Only changes that have been accepted and merged in Mobile NixOS are chronicled here. There's always more work currently in-progress. Notable changes During the month 18 pull requests were merged. Compared to the last month, they're more subtle changes. More hermetic evaluation This started off the work from @eamsden, where uses of were removed almost everywhere in #238. With the changes, the value is now used only at one location, at the start of the evaluation, in a way that can be overridden easily if needed. This means that evaluation now works fine without a NIX_PATH. This is useful to allow users of Nix flakes to use the project. Similar changes were made in #310 to rely on a single value for release.nix and example configuration evaluations. Finalize stage-0 When #262 was merged in December, it was done so with two main features missing. Time was taken to finish the boot features for stage-0 in #300. When a device supports stage-0 boot, a new toggle is shown in the generations list allowing the user to skip rebooting into the generation's kernel. When booting a generation, the device tree built from the same kernel source tree is now used. The pull request itself contains technical details. This was less trivial than expected. armv7 works again Using armv7 with Nixpkgs or NixOS is not always easy. There is no binary cache, and cross-compilation is as YMMV as it is for AArch64. This is the reason why armv7 Mobile NixOS devices haven't seen much work done and things slowly started not working. With #306 time was taken to ensure contributors with armv7 devices wouldn't be left with hard to debug issues from Mobile NixOS itself. With this work finally taken care of, there is a recent known good starting point to use for armv7 devices. A few recent WIP device ports were made on top of these changes. Stay tuned as they may become supported devices a ## Releasing HypriotOS 1.11.0: Docker 19.03.0 CE from Raspberry Pi Zero to 4 B DevFeed: [Releasing HypriotOS 1.11.0: Docker 19.03.0 CE from Raspberry Pi Zero to 4 B]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2019-07-25T04:31:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Hypriot]() Topics: [Docker](), [Raspberry Pi](), [releases](), [Linux](), [Linux Kernel](), [Release notes]() Tags: [configuration](), [docker](), [flashing](), [linux](), [linux-kernel](), [raspberry-pi](), [release](), [release-notes](), [security](), [ssh](), [swarm](), [wi-fi]() ### AI overview HypriotOS 1.11.0 is released with Docker Engine 19.03.0 CE, including Swarm Mode, support for Raspberry Pi models from the Zero through the Raspberry Pi 4 B, an updated Raspbian Lite Buster base with Linux kernel 4.19.58, improved flashing and configuration, Wi-Fi setup during boot, Avahi service discovery, and enhanced default security. ### Source excerpt We're proud to announce our 1.11.0 release of HypriotOS - the fastest way to get Docker up and running on any Raspberry Pi. Features of HypriotOS Latest Docker Engine 19.03.0 Community Edition You can use the latest features of the freshly-baked Docker Engine 19.03.0 that is still warm. It includes the Swarm Mode, which allows high availability of services in a multi-node cluster within just a few simple commands. Up to date with Raspbian Lite Buster You can run HypriotOS with an up-to-date OS and Linux kernel which is in sync with the current Raspbian Lite Buster running a Linux kernel 4.19.58. Support for the complete Raspberry Pi family You can run HypriotOS on every model of the Raspberry Pi family - we're supporting Pi 1, 2, 3, the 3 B+, Zero and even the Compute Module and the new Raspberry Pi 4 B. Easy flashing and configuration We improved our flash tool, which puts HypriotOS onto a SD card that is ready to boot from with a single command. With additional command line options you can customize HypriotOS during the flash operation to have the best out-of-the-box first-boot experience. HypriotOS includes cloud-init, which makes the first boot of your Raspberry Pi customizable and you even are able connecting it to your Wi-Fi network during boot. After booting, you can find the Raspberry Pi at your network with a simple ping black-pearl.local - no more searching for IP addresses required thanks to the integrated Avahi service discovery. Enhanced security out of the box We think that security should be shipped out-of-the-box. We make HypriotOS more secure without you even noticing it. For instance, there is no built-in "root" user. Also, the default user "pirate" (password "hypriot") is can be customized or removed before the first boot. Just look at the file /boot/user-data. You can add your public SSH key, disable password logins and specify a different user account before you even boot your Raspberry Pi. WiFi can be customized and enabled to have Docker up an ## NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit - Introduction DevFeed: [NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit - Introduction]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2019-04-19T12:16:25Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Hypriot]() Topics: [Jetson](), [Nvidia](), [Arm](), [configuration](), [Docker]() Tags: [developer](), [devkit](), [docker](), [flashing](), [github](), [hdmi](), [jetson](), [macos](), [nvidia](), [robotics]() ### AI overview An introduction to the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit covering its hardware, required accessories, SD card flashing, and initial configuration.
