wire-os

The main repo for WireOS.

WireOS serves as a nice, stable, and maintained base for Vector CFW.

Submodules

• /poky/poky -> yoctoproject/poky (walnascar)
• /poky/meta-openembedded -> openembedded/meta-openembedded (walnascar)
• /anki/victor -> wire-os-victor (main)
• /anki/wired -> wired (main)

Update notes:

• 05-21-2025: you might want to run ./build/clean.sh "connman wpa-supplicant base-files systemd tzdata alsa-lib alsa-tools alsa-utils" before building again
• 05-24-2025: ./build/clean.sh "connman wpa-supplicant fake-hwclock initscript-anki"
• 05-24-2025 again: ./build/clean.sh "ethtool iptables-persistent"

Build

• Note: you will need a somewhat beefy x86_64 Linux machine with at least 16GB of RAM and 100GB of free space.

1. Install Docker, git, and wget.

2. Configure it so a regular user can use it:

sudo groupadd docker
sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker
newgrp docker
sudo chown root:docker /var/run/docker.sock
sudo chmod 660 /var/run/docker.sock

3. Clone and build:

git clone https://github.com/gamingtimevr/vicos-oelinux-new --recurse-submodules
cd wire-os
./build/build.sh -bt <dev/oskr> -bp <boot-passwd> -v <build-increment>
# boot password not required for dev
# example: ./build/build.sh -bt dev -v 1

Where is my OTA?

./_build/3.0.1.1.ota
