Installation Steps

Obtain images and rootfs

Get the base images and rootfs. You can use arbitrary any images for D1 as the base images.

We have used Debian images and Ubuntu images and know that they work well. Below we use the Ubuntu images as an example.

wget https://archriscv.felixc.at/images/archriscv-2024-09-22.tar.zst
xz -kd ubuntu-24.10-preinstalled-server-riscv64+nezha.img.xz
mkdir rfs
tar -xf archriscv-2024-09-22.tar.zst -C rfs
mkdir mnt

Replace the rootfs

Replace the rootfs with the one from the Ubuntu image. Change the following mount points to the correct rootfs for your image.

sudo losetup -f
sudo losetup -P /dev/loopX ubuntu-24.10-preinstalled-server-riscv64+nezha.img.xz
sudo mount /dev/loopXp1 mnt
cd mnt
sudo mkdir old
sudo mv etc home media mnt opt root srv var usr old/
sudo cp -r ../rfs/{etc,home,mnt,opt,root,srv,var,usr} .
sudo cp -r old/usr/lib/firmware usr/lib/
sudo cp -r old/usr/lib/modules/ usr/lib/
rm etc/fstab
sudo rm etc/fstab
sudo cp -r old/etc/fstab etc/fstab

Don’t forget to clean up the files.

cd ..
sudo umount mnt
sudo losetup -d /dev/loopX

Flash the image

Flash the image to the SD card.

sudo wipefs -a /dev/sdX
sudo dd if=ubuntu-24.10-preinstalled-server-riscv64+nezha.img.xz of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress

Logging into the System

Logging into the system via the serial port.

Default Username: root Default Password: archriscv

Expected Results

The system should boot normally and allow login via the onboard serial port.

Actual Results

The system booted successfully and login via the onboard serial port was also successful.
