We are excited to announce the first release of ROCKNIX!
ROCKNIX is a custom linux gaming OS for Rockchip based handhelds. ROCKNIX started as a fork of JELOS by a few of the former JELOS team members. JELOS has reached EOL and will be archived. We took this opportunity to make a fresh start and start the new ROCKNIX project. All of the ROCKNIX builds (except for the RK3588 platform) use full stable upstream Linux, 6.8.2, and Mesa Panfrost GPUdrivers
Currently the following Rockhip SOC's and devices are supported:
- RK3588 (GameForce Ace)
- RK3326 (Anbernic RG351P/M/V, Hard Kernel OGS/OGA/OGA BE, Powkiddy RGB10, Game Console R33s/R36s/R35s, Magic XU10)
- RK3399 (Anbernic RG552)
While we are sad that the JELOS project is coming to an end we are excited what the future holds for the ROCKNIX project.
Note worthy changes since the last JELOS release:
- Update kernel to 6.8.2
- Update GPU driver to Mesa 24.1
- Add the SWAY Wayland compositor backend
- Add additional Emulation Station features for several emulators
- Additional emulator cores
- Bring back auto system folder generation
- Add Battery and Ram info to system information
- GameForce Ace now supports eMMc installation
- Drop several legacy BSP packages and patches no longer needed
- Fix bugs like MPV controls, Sway issues, etc
We would first like to thank @fewtarius for starting the JELOS project
And we would also like to thank the following community contributors for their commits pulled into this release:
@wwark, @plampix, @stolen, @citral23, @spycat88, @swilde, @Sparticuz, @octopuserectus, @Oendaril, @macromorgan
And finally thank you to everyone else who has contributed to JELOS, the Linux community as a whole, emulator developers, and every other FOSS project that ROCKNIX depends on.
