Usage • Building

Usage

You'll need a USB storage device with at least 128MB of storage.

Download the appropriate ISO for your PC:

x86_64 is for 64-bit CPUs
x86 is for 32-bit CPUs

If you don't know what type of CPU you have:

Windows

Open File Explorer, right click This PC and select Properties, look for the line "System type":

x64-based processor means your CPU is 64-bit
x86-based processor means your CPU is 32-bit

I will only support Ventoy, use other tools at your own risk

Get the latest Ventoy for Windows here: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases
After downloading and extracting the Ventoy .zip file, connect your USB flash drive then open the Ventoy2Disk.exe program. Back up any files on the USB now, you can copy them back later.
Select your USB flash drive at the top then press Install. You will be prompted twice to confirm that you are okay with deleting all data on the drive.
Copy the Odysseyn1x .iso file to the newly-flashed "Ventoy" USB.

Installing build dependencies

Debian and its derivatives

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends wget debootstrap grub-pc-bin \
    grub-efi-amd64-bin mtools squashfs-tools xorriso ca-certificates curl \
    libusb-1.0-0-dev gcc make gzip xz-utils unzip libc6-dev zstd rename

Environment variables

All build variables are inside the .env file.

VERSION="YOUR_VERSION"
ARCH="ARCHITECTURE_TO_BUILD" # Available architectures: x86_64 and x86

# Leave empty to automatically grab the latest version
CHECKRA1N_AMD64=""
CHECKRA1N_I486=""
SILEO=""
ZSTD="" # gz-compressed archive of release from https://github.com/facebook/zstd

Advanced: Kernel modules

Inside the file modules is a list of kernel modules to keep. If you made a copy of the modules file, you can instruct the build script to read from the file you modified by editing the KERNEL_MODULES variable at the start of the script.

Notes

The file supports commenting by putting # at the beginning of the line (you cannot do in-line commenting).
Any blank lines must be totally blank (can be removed entirely with sed '/^$/d')
If you're on Windows, ensure that you are using the LF newline character so as not to cause any issues.
