OpenRoadCode OS · Pre-alpha
The Linux foundation for the road.
A reproducible, purpose-built operating system for running Open Road Code on supported single-board computers.
Very early development
The project is still being bootstrapped. There is no stable release,
upgrade path, or production-ready image yet. Expect significant changes.
Why an OS?
From a collection of software to a complete system.
OpenRoadCode OS packages the platform into a consistent embedded Linux image. Instead of configuring a general-purpose installation by hand, developers can build the same known system from pinned source revisions.
It keeps OpenRoadCode policy and recipes in their own Yocto layer, while upstream Poky and hardware BSP layers remain clean and replaceable.
First targets
Three boards. One distribution.
Each target builds the same openroadcode-image with a
board-specific kas configuration.

How it fits together
A small, reproducible build surface.
01
kas configuration
Selects a board and pins every upstream layer revision.
02
meta-openroadcode
Defines distribution policy, packages, and the system image.
03
Flashable image
Produces a machine-specific image from a shared definition.
Pre-alpha project status
Follow the OS from its earliest builds.
OpenRoadCode OS is a new, experimental project under active development. Its architecture, supported hardware, configuration, and build process may change without notice. It is not ready for everyday or production use. The repository is the best place to follow progress.
