Homebrew [Release] Linux for the 3DS

[Deleted User]

Is that permanent? If so, i'd absolutely use it.

Yea. I used anonfiles since I found out about the 3ds sdk leak. And It's Free, Anonymous, and permanent.

Is there any way to still access this?

 

[Alexakaka]

No active development on Linux for 3DS? Kind of a shame, especially considering DSLinux apparently made more progress.

 

[BlockBreaker3D]

Can you instead apps in it please show me

It's very nice that someone's built a bootable linux for 3ds, but its a shame that it's not particularly usable. I would hope that some whiz will swing by and revive this project with drivers and such, but I suppose that's a big ask for little gain. That aside, a neat project.

I can't seem to get the keyboard to work (blank screen)
What do I do with the ext4 image that ParzivalWolfram gave us?

Currently the environment is very simple, you have Busybox (which "simulates" some programs like ls, cat, top, etc) and Weston (the Wayland compositor) plus a few Weston clients demos.

DOWNLOAD:

(the download link that is here in the original post no longer works)

Installation:

...

This download link (from the 1st post) no longer works, and i can't find another way to get this working. Does someone have an alternative download link?
EDIT: if not an alternative download, does someone have the FIRM from it? that's all i really need lol, trying to use the version Parzival uploaded

You replace the ext4 that you currently have (i think they explained it on page 36, with the prior ext4 update)

Alright, thanks for the heads up!

I've fixed the broken link (https://github.com/xerpi/linux_3ds/releases).
I'm also trying to port the 3DS port to the latest Linux version in this master branch.

EDIT: Linux 5.9.0-rc5 successfully boots on the 3DS:

 

[MarioKartFan]

Would be lovely to use this to launch some sort of ftp server as right now that requires a separate device.

 

[Hambrew]

Heyy, that worked! Don't know how to use Weston ngl, I don't see any mappings for left mouse and right mouse.

Linux 2.6.0 was released on 17 December 2003. Keep in mind Android uses Linux too and the latest Android devices already have something like Linux 5.X.
