The T2 project has released T2 SDE 7.0 RC2, a multi-architecture build kit designed to build custom Linux distributions: "The 7.0 series release candidate 2 features bug fixes and stability improvements for the non-x86 architectures, mainly AVR32, PowerPC and SPARC while quite some packages received updates and security fixes. The major features of series 7 are AVR32 and Blackfin architecture support as well as the brand new GCC 4.2 and glibc 2.6. Additionally the T2 7.0 series comes with over 400 new packages, while most of the existing packages received an update. Changes: Atmel AVR32 and Analog Devices Blackfin CPU support; GCC 4.2; glibc 2.6; eGlibC support was added...." The new release is available in the form of build scripts (3.1MB), as well as pre-compiled minimal CD images for several architectures: t2-7.0-rc2-minimal-i486.iso (203MB, MD5), t2-7.0-rc2-minimal-x86_64.iso (269MB, MD5).

| About T2
|
| T2 is an open-source system development environment (or distribution build kit if you are more familiar with that term). T2 allows the creation of custom distributions with bleeding-edge technology. Currently, the Linux kernel is normally used, but the project is expanding to Hurd, OpenDarwin and OpenBSD. T2 started as a community driven fork from the ROCK Linux Project with the aim to create a decentralised development and a clean framework for spin-off projects and customised distributions.

T2 SDE is an open-source system development environment. T2 allows the creation of custom distributions with bleeding-edge technology. The project's latest release, version 21.4, expands T2 SDE to support 15 CPU architectures, including ARM, PowerPC, RISCV, SPARC64, and x86_64. The project has also upgraded development packages and libraries, including the GNU compiler and Rust. Hardware support has been expanded by including version 5.11 of the Linux kernel. "Today the T2 System Development Environment Linux 21.4 was released, with the largest amount of pre- and cross-compiled set of architectures releases ever! A total of 15 architectures: x86-64, x86, arm64, arm, riscv64, riscv, ppc64le, ppc64-32, ppc sparc64, mips64, mipsel, hppa, m68k, alpha and ia64! The 21.4 release received updates across the board, while a major working target was adding new architecture support for RISCV(32), as further improving cross compilation and support for vintage retro system like the Sony PS3 and Sgi Octane, but also DEC Alpha and Intel IA64. Low memory optimizations allow the 32-bit x86 variant to boot on 486 with as little as 48MB of RAM." Information on this release can be found on the project's home page. Download: t2-21.4-x86-64-minimal-desktop-gcc-glibc.iso (722MB, SHA1, pkglist). |
