<blockquote>OpenWrt ​is a highly extensible ​GNU/​Linux ​distribution for embedded devices ​(typically wireless routers). Unlike many other distributions for these routers, OpenWrt ​is built from the ground up to be a full-featured, easily modifiable operating system for your router. In practice, this means that you can have all the features you need with none of the bloat, powered by a Linux kernel ​that's more recent than most other distributions.</blockquote>

[https://openwrt.org/releases/snapshot OpenWrt wiki] notes: '''Main differences of buildbot snapshots vs. official stable releases'''
*snapshots do not contain LuCI GUI by default. It needs to be installed by the user.
*snapshots are completely untested. Just automatic builds of the most recent source code and packages. Although snapshots are usually ok, they may sometimes contain serious bugs that prevent booting the device correctly or even prevent easy sysupgrading to new versions.
*snapshots are '''built daily, and that sets time limits to installing new packages''' with opkg. Due to kernel version checksums, you can only install “kmod” kernel modules and other kernel version dependent modules from the exactly same snapshot build. So, a few hours after flashing the firmware you may not be able to install new modules with opkg any more (as the next snapshot has been built into the download repo and has different checksums). See [https://openwrt.org/releases/snapshot OpenWrt wiki] for package availability time limits.

=== Void Linux ===
*:
'''Void Linux''' is a general purpose operating system, based on the monolithic Linux kernel. The official guide can be found at [https://docs.voidlinux.org/installation/guides/arm-devices/index.html Guide]. At this time there are no RockPro64 images available.


=== OpenWrt Snapshot Build [microSD Boot] ===
The following creates a bootable image from an existing Void Linux installation:
* OpenWrt with 5.4 mainline linux kernel
* <code>xbps-insall -Syu</code> to update the xbps installation of the installation
*: [https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/rockchip/armv8/ OpenWrt snapshot page]
* create ROCKPro64 image with the ''void-mklive'' software (from github.com):
** create a rootfs via ''mkrootfs.sh'': <code>sh mkrootfs.sh -o void-aarch64-muls-ROOTFS-yyyymmdd.tar.xz</code>
** <code>sh mkplatformfs.sh rockpro64 void-aarch64-muls-ROOTFS-yyyymmdd.tar.xz</code>
** <code>sh mkimage.sh -s 7GiB void-rockpro64-PLATFORMFS-yyyymmdd.tar.xz</code>
* write image to sdcard or eMMC: <code>dd if='''IMAGE-FILENAME''' of='''DEVICENAME''' bs=2M</code>
* If ''mkplatformfs.sh'' errors with ''ROCKPro64 not supported'', install ''xbps-src'' from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages and build the ROCKPro64 package.
* Tip: write a new U-Boot to the image if you see on the serial console the boot-up stalls:
** get the two U-Boot files from [https://pkgs.org/download/u-boot-rockpro64 pkgs.org], the aarch64 files:
** <code>dd if=idbloader.img of=DEVICENAME seek=64</code>
** <code>dd if=u-boot.itb of=DEVICENAME seek=16384</code>

The following creates a bootable image from an existing Void Linux installation:

  • xbps-insall -Syu to update the xbps installation of the installation
  • create ROCKPro64 image with the void-mklive software (from github.com):
    • create a rootfs via mkrootfs.sh: sh mkrootfs.sh -o void-aarch64-muls-ROOTFS-yyyymmdd.tar.xz
    • sh mkplatformfs.sh rockpro64 void-aarch64-muls-ROOTFS-yyyymmdd.tar.xz
    • sh mkimage.sh -s 7GiB void-rockpro64-PLATFORMFS-yyyymmdd.tar.xz
  • write image to sdcard or eMMC: dd if=IMAGE-FILENAME of=DEVICENAME bs=2M
  • If mkplatformfs.sh errors with ROCKPro64 not supported, install xbps-src from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages and build the ROCKPro64 package.
  • Tip: write a new U-Boot to the image if you see on the serial console the boot-up stalls:
    • get the two U-Boot files from pkgs.org, the aarch64 files:
    • dd if=idbloader.img of=DEVICENAME seek=64
    • dd if=u-boot.itb of=DEVICENAME seek=16384
