Homebrew [Release] Linux for the 3DS

[twisted_falconier]

Hey, I'm having trouble toggling keyboard modes. I'm preesing/holding SELECT and nothings changing. Any reason why?

Me too. I also am unable to "click" after launching weston. Tried to launch the terminal but all I could do was move the mouse

 

[Itzumi]

What exactly could I do with this.

what COULDN'T you do?

Show your friends how cool you are by running Linux on the 3DS.

You may be able to cross-compile to make programs for it, kind of like building Android on a pc, you can compile for the 3ds's arm based soc using gcc and a Linux x64_86/x86 machine.

I'm already working on a build with make, X, binutils, etc. It's only not done due to issues packing it.

Speaking of, @xerpi, what version of as did you compile with? Every version either tells me it doesn't support --64 or it doesn't support -EL. (Running Deb x86_64, everything updated)

I use the armv7-eabihf toolchain from https://toolchains.bootlin.com

@xerpi what should people who can't switch to mouse input do to solve the issue?

 

[Nemos59]

I also can't open the weston terminal and toggling keyboard modes... I don't know what's wrong...

Yeah, same here. I haven't been able to find a version that works.

Any suggestions for things to compile into the boot image? I've got things like make, gcc, binutils, Xorg (also fluxbox), untested SD R/W support, etc. going, but what else would y'all like to see? There's no network access and SD R/W support will probably be really dumb and broken, so keep that in mind.


EDIT: Well, "going".

I've updated the build instructions, if you have Linux x86-64 I'd recommend downloading a a precompiled armv6-eabihf toolchain.

It's working for the most part now... well, except for the occasional ICE.

Woah that's really weird, LLVM 6.0.1 is a bit old nonetheless.

The only thing that needs it is clang, so fuck it.

 

[cj_beans]

How can we open weston/change keyboard mode? It's not working.

 

[ParzivalWolfram]

nnnnnnnnnngh... @xerpi, your prebuilt chain has names formatted like "arm-unknown-linux-eabihf-gcc" but the Linux_3DS makefiles and such want it to be named "arm-mpcore-linux-eabihf-gcc"...

 

[ParzivalWolfram]

Oh.

Wait a minute.

@xerpi was compiling on a 32-bit platform, wasn't he?
That'd be why I don't have the "--64" switch in as.

hopefully i dont catch flack for reviving this, its only been a few weeks, but are there no longer precompiled firms for this?i have fastboot, maybe im just being naieve, but i was hoping to just put a firm in and boot to it?

There's a download link on the OP, download it and extract it to your 3ds' sd card and you can run the .firm
