'''Twister OS''' brings a desktop computing experience for SBCs, right out-of-the-box. Including themes, applications, tools, and optimizations to get the most out of your SBC. For more information on Twister OS, please visit the [https://twisteros.com/ official site].

*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.

''' Retro Arena Community Build Image [microSD / eMMC Boot] [Beta 0.0.8] '''
This is a BETA and therefore is not update-able nor supported, however bugs or issues are appreciated to be identified and shared via the issues tab on our GitHub so that we can address them in the future. The Roshambo Case support is baked in with one major caveat due to kernel limitation: You can power the unit off by the POWER switch and the RESET button works 100% however to power the unit on you will need to manually plug/unplug the power cord. This limitation will not be present in future releases. Visit the project's [http://odroidarena.com/downloads/]

Official guide at [https://docs.voidlinux.org/installation/guides/arm-devices/index.html Guide].  At this time no RockPro64 image is available.  Follows is the generic steps if you have an existing VoidLinux installation, eg thanks to a Live /bootable image on a Windows machine from voidlinux.org:
* <code>xbps-insall -Syu</code> # updates the xbps installation of live image
* create RockPro64 image from 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 gibhub.com void-linux/void-packages and build the rockpro64 package.
* Tip:  write a new uboot to the image if you see on the serial console the boot-up stalls:
** get the two uboot 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>
* Login with username root and password voidlinux

    • 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
