Environment, renowned for its portability and cross-compiling capabilities,
proudly announces the release of T2 Linux 24.8, codenamed "Pkg once, Runs
Everywhere." This latest version is now shipping with a cross-compiled version
of OpenJDK Java™ by default, further enhancing its position as the most
versatile and portable Linux distribution available. Pre-built binary ISOs are
available for the 13 most popular CPU and libc / compiler combinations:
ARM(64), HPPA64, IA64, MIPS64, PowerPC64, RISCV64, SPARC64, i686 and x86-64.
Unprecedented Portability and Cross-Compiling Power
T2 Linux has long been at the forefront of providing a robust platform that
emphasizes portability and ease of cross-compiling. With the new 24.8 release,
users can now enjoy the benefits of a fully integrated, cross-compiled OpenJDK
Java™ environment, making it even simpler to develop and deploy Java
applications across a multitude of hardware architectures.
Key Features of T2 Linux 24.8:
Cross-Compiled OpenJDK Java™ by Default:
T2 Linux 24.8 comes pre-installed with a cross-compiled version of OpenJDK
Java™, ensuring seamless Java development and deployment across various
platforms without the need for additional configuration.
Enhanced Cross-Compiling Capabilities:
This release builds on T2 Linux’s already robust cross-compiling
infrastructure, offering improved support for multiple architectures including
ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, RISCV and more.
"Pkg once, Runs Everywhere" Philosophy:
True to its codename, T2 Linux 24.8 continues the work for home-brew support
for other OS', allowing maintainers to package their applications once and run
them anywhere, including macOS and BSDs. Significantly reducing the complexity
and time involved in cross-platform development.
Updated Core Components:
The latest Linux kernel, glibc, LLVM/Clang and other core components are
included, providing users with the most up-to-date and secure foundation for
their applications.
Streamlined Frontend:
A new top-level "t2" frontend was started, aimed at simplifying the development
process, ensuring that developers have everything they need to build and deploy
high-performance applications.
Multi-architectural MIPS64 support:
Support was added for multi-architectural Linux kernel builds, allowing the
MIPS64 T2 Linux configuration to ship one ISO with 5 kernel variants to support
all popular Sgi IP27 (Origin 200), IP30 (Octane), IP32-r5k (O2), IP32-r10k and
a generic Qemu kernel in a single release build making it the first Linux
release to boot on multiple Sgi MIPS64 Unix machines.
