Based on 62fixolab/Latest-Bazzite-AMD-BC-250-Patched-Images @ 347fd4d. Adds on top of the fork: - recipes/bc250-console-gnome.yml: governor + gnome-remote-desktop + openssh-server, sshd enabled, hhd.service masked, no signing module (local build + ISO path) - files/console/usr/bin/bc250-remote-setup: one-time on-box SSH/RDP setup - files/console/usr/lib/bootc/kargs.d/50-bc250-ttm.toml: ttm memory kargs - BUILD-CONSOLE.md: build -> ISO -> validation instructions files/console/ is separate from files/system/ so the 40-CU unlock tooling stays out of this stable 24-CU image.

# BC-250 Console — local build → ISO
|
||
|
||
Custom recipe: `recipes/bc250-console-gnome.yml` (Bazzite GNOME + cyan-skillfish
|
||
governor + SSH/RDP remote admin + BC-250 ttm kargs). Build path is **local**
|
||
(no CI, no registry, no cosign needed).
|
||
|
||
## 1. Build the OCI image (any Fedora/bootc box, VM OK)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# prereqs: podman + bluebuild CLI
|
||
sudo dnf install -y podman
|
||
# bluebuild CLI: https://blue-build.org/how-to/setup/#installation
|
||
podman run --rm ghcr.io/blue-build/cli --version # or install natively
|
||
|
||
bluebuild build ./recipes/bc250-console-gnome.yml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Result lands in local podman storage as `localhost/bc250-console-gnome`.
|
||
|
||
### Kernel sanity check (before making the ISO)
|
||
|
||
Avoid kernels 6.15.0–6.15.6 and 6.17.8–6.17.10; prefer 6.18.x LTS or 6.17.11+.
|
||
The kernel comes from the Bazzite `stable` base — verify what you got:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
podman run --rm localhost/bc250-console-gnome:latest rpm -q kernel
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If it lands in a bad range, wait for the next Bazzite stable or pin an older
|
||
`image-version` in the recipe.
|
||
|
||
## 2. Generate the installer ISO
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
mkdir -p output
|
||
sudo podman run --rm -it --privileged \
|
||
--security-opt label=type:unconfined_t \
|
||
-v ./output:/output \
|
||
-v /var/lib/containers/storage:/var/lib/containers/storage \
|
||
quay.io/centos-bootc/bootc-image-builder:latest \
|
||
--type iso \
|
||
localhost/bc250-console-gnome:latest
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
ISO appears under `output/bootiso/`.
|
||
|
||
## 3. Smoke test + install
|
||
|
||
1. **VM test**: boot the ISO in a VM, install, reach GNOME. This validates
|
||
composition/installer only — not the BC-250 GPU/governor/Mesa path.
|
||
2. Flash to USB (Fedora Media Writer / Impression / `dd`), install on the
|
||
board. Black screen at install → "Install in Basic Graphics Mode".
|
||
3. First boot, in the child's desktop session: run `bc250-remote-setup`,
|
||
log into Steam, set Steam Family View, `sudo tailscale up` if using it.
|
||
|
||
## 4. On-hardware validation (board, not VM)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
vulkaninfo | grep deviceName # RADV GFX1013, NOT llvmpipe
|
||
systemctl status cyan-skillfish-governor-smu # active
|
||
cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_sclk # scaling present (may be card1)
|
||
sensors # sane temps; watch backplate airflow
|
||
cat /proc/cmdline | tr ' ' '\n' | grep ttm # ttm.pages_limit / page_pool_size
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then a real game for 30+ minutes for thermal/power stability.
|
||
|
||
## Not baked into the image (per-board/per-user)
|
||
|
||
Modded BIOS + BIOS settings (512 MB dynamic VRAM, IOMMU off, auto power-on),
|
||
RDP password/TLS cert, Steam login, Tailscale auth.
|
||
|
||
## Security
|
||
|
||
- SSH/RDP LAN- or tailnet-only. Never port-forward 22/3389.
|
||
- If this ever moves to a registry (Gitea) for OTA updates: generate your own
|
||
cosign keypair, re-add the `signing` module, and never reuse upstream's key.
