openFyde prebuilt image - rpi4 (Raspberry Pi 4B and Pi 400)

TL;DR:

These are the prebuilt images for the rpi4-openfyde board under the openFyde project. You can download the image and flash it to a USB storage device; you can boot it up on a supported device - in this case, a Raspberry Pi 4 (4B or Pi 400).

In this revised(r1) release, we have introduced experimental support for ArcHeroNG - our Android 11 implementation. Two images are released, and the base functions of those two images are identical; the image filename with -archero is with ArcHeroNG, thus the slightly larger filesize.

Due to the limited performance of Raspberry Pi 4 and the fact that ArcHeroNG is still in active development status, you may find performance glitches in the image with ArcHeroNG support. It's also worth mentioning that during the initial boot, you may find the OS temporarily freeze as the system attempts to initialise the ArcHeroNG environment; it's therefore recommended to wait for a short while during the initialisation takes place.


Installation:

Please follow the instructions.

Upstream versioning info:

Chromium: 108.0.5359.228
Platform: 15183.90.16.7
Chromium OS manifest: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/manifest.git/+/refs/heads/release-R108-15183.B

OS Highlights

  • Added Android subsystem ArcHero(experimental)
  • Upgraded the FydeOS userland (Chromium browser) on ARM platform to 64-bit for the first time:
    1. Improved performance when accessing web pages with complex interactions and media decoding in the browser
    2. Solved the previous frequent "Aw, snap!" error due to insufficient memory in a single tab
  • Redesigned the "fydeRhythm" IME; the following optimizations and new features will bring you a refreshing Chinese input experience:
    1. Significantly improved the loading time of the RIME engine
    2. Wrapped the RIME engine with WebAssembly technology, decoupling the fydeRhythm IME from the FydeOS file system and enabling
      independent updates
    3. Supports one-click download and switching of multiple popular pinyin/shuangpin/wubi or other input schemes
    4. Provides system-level toast prompts when switching between Chinese/English input states by pressing the left Shift key
    5. Optimised the design of the input method word selection UI
    6. Optimised the input experience of the on-screen keyboard in tablet mode
  • Added (experimental) support for Box86
  • Upgraded the Linux kernel to v5.15
  • Enhanced the hardware accelerated media video decoding capability in Chromium browser, allowing smooth playback of 1080p@60fps videos in h.264 (if you want to utilize this in YouTube, try this extension to force h.264 decoding)
  • Optimised GPU acceleration in the Linux subsystem, improving the display performance of Linux apps (especially games)
  • Optimised memory management:
    1. Fixed the issue of file system corruption and app crashes caused by memory leaks in the Linux kernel in previous versions
    2. Improved the overall stability of 4GB memory version Raspberry Pi devices (Pi 400)
  • Fixed the default browser window size issue in "Guest Mode"
  • Fixed the extremely low frame rate issue when recording videos with the built-in "Screen Recording" feature
  • Added feature supporting local OTA. This version can upgrade to future versions without personal data loss.
  • Other stability and performance improvements

ArcHeroNG info:

  • First released in version 0.1.14.
