New container-focused setup guide for Fedora CoreOS on the BC-250.
Covers ignition prerequisites, ACPI fix via dracut, Cyan Skillfish
governor via COPR, hardware monitor (nct6683), 40 CU unlock via UMR
systemd service, 14.75GB VRAM allocation with initramfs sync, and
Spectre mitigations toggle. Notes Zincati auto-upgrade persistence
and Podman GPU passthrough. Adds nav entry under Linux Setup.
Closes#25.
New Alpine guide covering kernel selection, AMDGPU/Vulkan stack,
extlinux/GRUB kargs, and a manual SMU governor build with an
OpenRC service + D-Bus policy. Adds nav entry, README/index
mentions, and an Alpine row in the distribution comparison.
Note: the "D-Bus AccessDenied Error" troubleshooting entry is
missing its solution paragraph will follow up in a small fix
commit after merge.
Closes#20.
Dedicated page for duggasco's BC-250 40 CU unlock work
(github.com/duggasco/bc250-40cu-unlock), summarising the kernel patch,
the dual-register architecture (CC + SPI), install paths, verification,
and the governor and thermal context needed to actually run it.
Adds:
- step-by-step install via the upstream build script, manual patch, and
Arch/CachyOS path
- Fedora-specific build notes (kernel-devel is incomplete and
EXTRAVERSION + utsrelease.h need to be patched to avoid a vermagic
mismatch), verified on kernel 7.0.9-105.fc43.x86_64
- real captured verification output (dmesg, sysfs, vulkaninfo) from a
working install instead of paraphrased examples
- sustained 10-min llama-bench thermal data on dual P12 Max with the
stock heatsink, framing why effective cooling matters for full-CU OC
- selective CU masking pointer to duggasco's health test workflow
- governor sweet-spot config (1500 MHz / 900 mV) and a recommended
voltage curve
Linked from the System Configuration section of the nav.
Full credit to duggasco throughout, plus links to the technical report
and whitepaper.
Two small additions to make it easier for readers to find their way back
to the GitHub side of the project (stars, Discussions, PRs):
- overrides/main.html: site-wide announce banner with links to the repo
and Discussions. Uses Material's announce block, dismissable by the
reader once they've seen it
- mkdocs.yml: enable custom_dir for the override and add
announce.dismiss to theme features
- docs/index.md: replace the brief Contributing paragraph with a
Get Involved card grid (Star, Discussions, PRs, Issues). Sits on the
home page where most first-time visitors land
No content changes outside of these blocks.
- Full searchable/filterable catalogue of BC-250 cases and enclosures
- 145 designs documented from Discord, Reddit, Printables, MakerWorld, Thingiverse
- Grid/list view toggle, PSU filter, availability filter, text search
- REMIX badges for derivative designs
- Discord section with visual separator for community-only projects
- Uniform card height with hover-expand for full description
- Real thumbnails fetched from public sources (72/145)
- All descriptions rewritten in English, sourced from platform pages and Discord
- Add new hardware pinouts page with detailed connector information
- Add J2000/J2001 power connector pinouts to power requirements
- Update VCN section to explain Sony is blocking firmware release
- Update kernel version info on index page (6.17.11+ now works)
