In addition to the pre-configured system image, we also provided installer ISO this time. This should allow greater flexibility to configure your own system.
In addition to the systems created with CIX SDK, we have also created the initial RadxaOS image for Orion O6 based on the same code release. The goal of our system is to focus on correctness, and make custom modification easier. Installing a custom kernel works correctly on our system, and building new system does not need to check out the full CIX SDK.
The matching BIOS for system based on CIX 2025.03 SDK is version 0.3.0-1. We also added a simple BIOS update feature to RadxaOS, so there is no need to prepare a separate USB disk for this purpose. You can see the demo here.
In addition to new image release, CIX also released the 2025.04 SDK. The notable feature of this release is that it is the first version with official ACPI support, and first version with Linux 6.6 kernel. The full SDK can be checked out with Google’s repo tool from the ACPI manifest branch.
Radxa and CIX will also attend Linaro Connect 2025, which happens between 2025-05-14 and 2025-05-16, in Lisbon, Portugal. Feel free to come by and talk with us.
