+
+To start with NixOS on Turris please read install documentation for your
+specific board:
+
+* ./install-omnia.adoc[*Omnia installation*]
+* ./install-mox.adoc[*Mox installation*]
+
+The board specific instructions provide you with hopefully working installation
+of the NixOS on Turris OS. The following articles should give you more info on
+how to manage it:

+TODO
+
+== Building standard tarball
+
+Add nixturris repository to your local Nix registry and build it. The image is
+cross compiled in this case (unless you are running on Aarch64 platform). You
+can also build it natively and this is discussed in the chapter "Native build
+using Qemu" in this document.
+
+```
+~$ nix registry add nixturris git+https://git.cynerd.cz/nixturris

+= Initial router access after installation
+
+This describes how to access the router right after the initial NixOS
+installation. The WAN port has to be connected to the existing network to receive
+IP address. This has to be the same network the machine you are planning on
+using for connecting to the board is connected to. You have to get this IP
+somehow. One option is to use https://docs.turris.cz/hw/serial/[serial
+connection] to get it by logging in and entering command `ip addr`. Another
+option is scanning the local network or if you have access you can just look for
+`NixTurris` system in DHCP logs.
+
+Once you have IP address you should be able to login over SSH. The SSH allows
+loging to root user with password `nixturris`.
+
+Make sure you setup your own access route to the device before you do the
+initial rebuild as this setup is set only for the tarball boot and is removed
+with first boot. Feel free to paste the following to your initial configuration
+so you would not lost this default setting initialy:
+
+----
+users = {
+ mutableUsers = false;
+ users.root.password = mkDefault "nixturris";
+};
+services.openssh = {
+ enable = true;
+ passwordAuthentication = true;
+ permitRootLogin = "yes";
+};
+----
+
+Make sure you change this as soon as possible as this is highly unsafe.
+
+Now you can follow to the first NixOS rebuild. There you have to decide if you
+prefer ./nixos-rebuild-remote.adoc[managing it remotely] or
+./nixos-rebuild-onsite.adoc[managing it directly on the router]. The remote way
+is more complex to setup but much faster in the long run while rebuild on the
+router can be pretty much done immediately.

+= NixOS on Turris Mox
+
+Deploying NixOS to the Turris Mox is pretty easy and fast. The advantage is that
+aarch64 packages cache is provided by official Hydra builds and thus there is no
+need to build everything from the sources.
+
+TIP: Read the whole documentation before you start to understand what you are
+getting yourself into.
+
+NOTE: The Turris Shield is in core Turris Mox and thus these instructions can be
+used for it as well.
+
+
+== 1.) Updating U-Boot
+
+The updated U-Boot is required to make Turris Mox work with NixOS. The reason
+for this is limited small length for the string holding path to the files for
+system boot in the U-Boot version 2018.11 (the one Turris Mox ships with).
+
+You can verify if you have new enough U-Boot by running the following command as
+root on the router:
+
+----
+strings /dev/mtd1 | grep 'U-Boot [0-9.]\+'
+----
+
+The minimal suggested version is U-Boot 2022.07.
+
+=== Updating U-Boot on Turris OS
+
+These instructions apply if you have SD card with Turris OS and want to use the
+official way of updating firmware on Turris Mox. The minimal version of Turris
+OS to get new stable version of U-Boot is Turris OS 6.0. Please update the
+Turris OS installation to this version or newer before you continue.
+
+The next step is to install `turris-nor-update` and run it:
+
+----
+opkg update
+opkg install turris-nor-update
+turris-nor-update
+----
+
+This should give you at least U-Boot 2022.07.
+
+=== Updating U-Boot on NixOS
+
+TODO
+
+
+== 2.) Expanding space for Linux kernel
+
+The space allocated for the kernel during the boot is in default set to be too
+small. The kernel of NixOS can get pretty big compared to the Turris OS and
+thus we have to increase this space.
+
+CAUTION: The system is going to fail to boot with cryptic message that it can't
+mount root file-system if you skip this! That is caused by initrd start being
+overwritten by kernel image's tail.
+
+=== Directly from U-Boot
+
+You need compatible serial to USB converter to be attached to the serial console
+of your Mox. Consult the https://docs.turris.cz/hw/serial/#turris-mox[official
+documentation] for this.
+
+The first step is to enter U-Boot console, reboot your router (either by issuing
+`reboot` command or by disconnecting and reconnecting the power source). Next
+press kbd:[Enter] few times once you see `U-Boot` booting. You should get U-Boot
+prompt shortly after (the line starting with `> `). Enter the following commands
+to set required settings:
+
+----
+setenv ramdisk_addr_r 0x9000000
+saveenv
+----
+
+To continue boot you can enter command `boot`.
+
+=== From running system
+
+You need to have `uboot-envtools` package installed on Turris OS or `ubootTools`
+on NixOS.
+
+Verify that your environment access is correctly set by printing a current
+environment using `fw_printenv` (as root). You should get output with no message
+informing you about invalid CRC. Do not proceed if you get it.
+
+To set required settings run:
+
+----
+fw_setenv ramdisk_addr_r 0x9000000
+----
+
+Feel free to validate settings by running `fw_printenv` again.
+
+
+== 3.) Get tarball with NixOS
+
+The initial system can either be downloaded from Gitlab or build locally. Note
+that version available for download can be pretty old. It is just some version
+that was build with latest commit to the NixTurris repository.
+
+* TODO (we do not have CI builds yet)
+* ./build-tarball.adoc[Documentation on how to build your own tarball]
+
+
+== 4.) Prepare the SD card
+
+At minimum, you should use micro SD card with size 8 GB. It is highly suggested
+to use some high quality one as you might have to use it for swap and that can
+reduce lifetime a lot and kill the low quality one very fast.
+
+You need to format the SD card first. The required partition table is GPT. You
+can use only one partition that would be preferably formatted with BTRFS. The
+important thing is to set label `NixTurris` so boot can locate the correct
+partition by it.
+
+It is up to you which tool are you going to use. The instructions here are going
+to be for GNU Parted. The following shell log should give you an idea of what
+you should do to get the correct layout:
+
+----
+~# parted /dev/mmcblk1
+(parted) mktable gpt
+(parted) mkpart NixTurris 0% 100%
+(parted) set 1 boot on
+(parted) quit
+~# mkfs.btrfs /dev/mmcblk1p1
+----
+
+The last step is to unpack the tarball to the SD card.
+
+----
+~# mkdir -p mnt
+~# mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 mnt
+~# tar -xf nixos-system-aarch64-linux.tar.xz -C mnt
+~# umount mnt
+~# eject /dev/mmcblk1
+----
+
+Now you can take this micro SD card and insert it to your Mox and boot the
+initial version of the system.
+
+Now you should have running NixOS system on the Turris Mox. The next step is to
+do first configuration and for that you have to be able to
+./initial-access.adoc[access the router].

+= NixOS on Turris Omnia
+
+CAUTION: PCIe devices are not functional right now on the Turris Omnia!
+
+The Turris Omnia is little bit more complex regarding the initial setup compared
+to Turris Mox. One issue is that armv7 builds are not provided by official
+Hydra. The second issue is that there is not a single reasonable installation
+(such as SD card on Turris Mox).
+
+Turris Omnia can be booted either from USB or internal disk or from internal
+MMC. The USB drive is the easies to setup from PCs and thus it is suggested for
+testing NixOS on your Turris Omnia. You can always return to the Turris OS just
+by unplugging the USB drive.
+
+== 1.) Updating U-Boot
+
+The updated U-Boot is required to make Turris Omnia work with NixOS in most
+cases. The reason is that the original U-Boot 2015.10 does not support booting
+from USB or internal drive. The newer Turris Omnia routers have newer U-Boot
+versions but always verify the U-Boot version before you continue by running the
+following command as root on the router:
+
+include::shards/install-uboot.adoc[]

+* ./build-tarball.adoc[Documentation on how to build your own tarball]
+
+== 3a.) Boot from USB drive
+
+This is the easies option to get NixOS on Turris Omnia. You can prepare the
+drive in any Linux system and then just plug it into the Omnia.
+
+You should use some reliable and preferably USB 3.0 flash drive or just regular
+SSD drive. The suggested minimal size is 8GB but that is pretty much every USB
+drive on the market right now. You might want to use swap and thus make sure
+that you use some higher quality one as swap can kill cheap flash drives pretty
+fast.
+
+You need to format the USB drive first. The required partition table is GPT. You
+can use only one partition that would be preferably formatted with BTRFS. The
+important thing is to set label `NixTurris` so boot can locate the correct
+partition by it.
+
+It is up to you which tool are you going to use. The instructions here are going

+(parted) mktable gpt
+(parted) mkpart NixTurris 0% 100%
+(parted) set 1 boot on
+(parted) quit
+~# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdx1
+----
+
+The next step is to unpack the tarball to the USB drive.
+
+----
+~# mkdir -p mnt
+~# mount /dev/sdx1 mnt
+~# tar -xf nixos-system-armv7-linux.tar.xz -C mnt
+~# umount mnt
+~# eject /dev/sdx
+----
+
+Now you can take this drive and plug it in the Turris Omnia. The last step is to
+instruct firmware to boot from USB.
+
+TIP: If you have USB to serial converter (see
+https://docs.turris.cz/hw/serial/#turris-omnia[official documentation]) then you
+can trigger USB boot only once using it. You have to reboot Omnia and halt boot
+process by pressing kbd:[Enter] few times once you see `U-Boot` booting. You
+should get U-Boot prompt shortly after (the line starting with `> `). USB boot
+is initialized by entering `run usb_boot` to it and confirming by kbd:[Enter].
+
+You need to have `uboot-envtools` package installed on Turris OS or `ubootTools`
+on NixOS.
+
+First you have to verify your environment access configuration by printing the
+current environment using `fw_printenv` (as root). You should get output with no
+message informing you about invalid CRC. Do not proceed if you get it.
+
+To set USB boot as a preferred method run:
+
+----
+fw_setenv boot_targets usb0 mmc0 nvme0 scsi0 pxe dhcp
+----
+
+Feel free to validate settings by running `fw_printenv` again.
+
+Now you can reboot your Omnia to NixOS. The next step is to do first
+configuration and for that you have to be able to ./initial-access.adoc[access
+the router].
+
+== 3b.) Install on internal storage
+
+It is highly suggested not to use internal MMC for the whole system. The
+suggested deployment is rather the `/boot` partition on MMC or the whole system
+on internal drive (note that U-Boot might not be able to boot from all internal
+drives).
+
+TODO
+
+WARNING: this is not fully supported at the moment as tarball contains in
+`/boot` only Syslinux configuration and thus boot simply from `/boot` is not
+possible. You have to copy kernel, initrd and dtb to the `/boot` partition and
+modify Syslinux's configuration file.
+
+
+== Reverting to Turris OS
+
+The steps required to revert to Turris OS differ from how deep have you went
+with installation. If you are lucky it is just about restarting U-Boot
+environment, if not then you have to use Medkit to install Turris OS back.
+
+=== Resetting U-Boot environment to the default
+
+The modification suggested by this document are only to the single variable
+(`boot_targets`). The revert to the previous value should be in most cases
+enough. This can be done by (see previous usage in this document for required
+packages):
+
+----
+fw_setenv boot_targets mmc0 nvme0 scsi0 usb0 pxe dhcp
+----
+
+You can also reset environment to the default if you want to be sure. For that
+you need USB to serial converter connected (see
+https://docs.turris.cz/hw/serial/#turris-omnia[official documentation]). Reboot
+the board and halt boot process by pressing kbd:[Enter] few times once you see
+`U-Boot` booting. You should get U-Boot prompt shortly after (the line starting
+with `> `). To reset environment enter:
+
+----
+env default -a
+saveenv
+----
+
+To continue boot you can enter command `boot`.
+
+=== Using Medkit to install Turris OS back to the MMC
+
+You have to do this only if you attempted installation on internal storage.
+First you have to reset U-Boot environment and thus follow steps in the previous
+section. Next follow the
+https://docs.turris.cz/hw/omnia/rescue-modes/#re-flash-router[official medkit
+steps].

+= NixOS rebuild on the router
+
+WARNING: This is pretty slow.
+
+To rebuild NixOS directly on device something like 2GB of memory is required.
+This pretty much is covered only by Turris Omnia 2G version and even that might
+not be enough. Thus if you want to rebuild NixOS on the device you need the
+SWAP. There is in default configure zram SWAP but that won't be enough. It is
+highly suggested to create swap file of something like 2GB or 4GB size.
+
+The creation and first addition of swap can be done like this (this expects that
+used file-system is BTRFS):
+
+[source,sh]
+----
+sudo truncate -s 4G /run/swap
+sudo chattr +C /run/swap
+sudo btrfs property set /run/swap compression none
+sudo chmod 600 /run/swap
+sudo mkswap /run/swap
+sudo swapnon -p 0 /run/swap
+----
+
+Few notes here... Swap file is created by root and set to be accessible only by
+root. For BTRFS the copy-on-write functionality is disabled and compression for
+it. The swap itself is then added with lowest priority to prefer zram swap and
+thus reduce real swap usage.
+
+Do not forget to add this swap file to your NixOS configuration so it is added
+on every boot. Edit file `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix` and add the following
+lines:
+
+[source,nix]
+----
+swapDevices = [
+ {
+ device = "/run/swap";
+ priority = 0;
+ }
+];
+----
+
+Then you can pretty much manage it as any other NixOS device using
+`nixos-rebuild` script running directly on the device, just very slowly.

+= Cross build vs. Qemu build
+
+When building packages or NixOS on any other machine (most likely amd64) you
+have two options how to build. You can either build natively like you would be
+running on the target platform using Qemu. Or you can use cross build. This
+document tires to gives you some comparison so you can decide on your own which
+you want to use. In general use what works for you.
+
+Compilation speed:: The cross build is much faster compared to Qemu. It is
+simple as that.
+
+Build success:: There is a lot of packages that are broken for cross build in
+Nixpkgs and thus sometimes you might have more luck with native builds. At the
+same time there is a lot of packages that won't compile natively on armv7 for
+multiple reasons (the most common is that test cases do not expect 32bit
+system). The rule of thumb is that with aarch64 native build is more stable
+while cross build might be more stable for armv7.
+
+Device rebuilds:: The one huge disadvantage for the cross builds is that they
+produce different result compared to native builds in Nix. The effect is that
+`nixos-rebuild` on the device can't reuse cross builds while it can reuse native
+builds.
+
+
+== Native (Qemu) build Nix setup
+
+To get native build work you need the Nix with ability to run aarch64 and/or
+armv7 binaries. That is in general option `extra-platforms` with value
+`aarch64-linux` for Turris Mox and `armv7l-linux` for Turris Omnia. To actually
+allow access to the emulator you need something like `extra-sandbox-paths` with
+value such as `/usr/bin/qemu-aarch64` (for Turris Mox) or `/usr/bin/qemu-arm`
+(for Turris Omnia). This way you can build aarch64 or armv7l package on other
+platforms. You might also want to add some ARM specific substituters.
+
+The configuration file for Nix should thus contain something like:
+
+----
+extra-platforms = aarch64-linux armv7l-linux
+extra-sandbox-paths = /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64 /usr/bin/qemu-arm
+extra-substituters = https://arm.cachix.org https://thefloweringash-armv7.cachix.org
+extra-trusted-public-keys = arm.cachix.org-1:K3XjAeWPgWkFtSS9ge5LJSLw3xgnNqyOaG7MDecmTQ8= thefloweringash-armv7.cachix.org-1:v+5yzBD2odFKeXbmC+OPWVqx4WVoIVO6UXgnSAWFtso=
+----
+
+If you are running on the NixOS then you can use configuration:
+
+----
+boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems = [ "aarch64-linux" "armv7l-linux" ];

+= NixOS as switch
+
+The Linux system uses DSA to manage on board switch. DSA provides switch
+configuration abstraction in such a way that every LAN port of the switch is
+actually available for the network configuration. Thus switch configuration is
+as simple as assigning the correct port to the bridge.
+
+NOTE: The examples shown here are for Turris Mox with 4 port switch but
+modification required for Omnia and other Mox configurations should be clear
+from them.
+
+The default single LAN setting would look something like this:
+
+[sources,nix]
+----
+networking = {
+ bridges.brlan <3> = {
+ interfaces = [
+ "eth0" "lan1" "lan2" "lan3" "lan4" <2>
+ ];

+ dhcpcd.allowInterfaces = [ "brlan" ]; <3>
+};
+----
+
+<1> The bridge interface name.
+<2> Bridge WAN port with all LAN ports. Note that this automatically disables
+DHCP on these ports in NixOS.
+<3> Set DHCP server on our new bridge as it ignores bridges automatically.
+
+The more complex setup with VLANs might look like this. Let's consider that WAN
+port is connected to the router that provides three VLANs and we want to assign
+VLAN 1 to `lan1` and VLAN 2 to `lan2` while connecting `lan3` and `lan4` with
+WAN. The VLAN100 is administation and switch should listen only on that network
+with static IP.

+<1> Create VLAN interfaces used in bridges and to actually access the router.
+<2> This bridge provides inteconnection between WAN and `lan3` and `lan4` while
+serving as base for our VLANs.
+<3> Static IPv4 configuration for our management port. The IPv6 should be
+assigned by SLAAC.
+<4> Disable DHCP as we do not want access to the router from any other interface
+than statically configured one.
+
+WARNING: The vlan filtering can't be easilly configured and obvious way of
+adding `lan0.1` to `br1` and `lan0` to `br2` results in tagged traffic being
+included in both `br1` and `br2`. The "correct" way of configuring the complex
+example here would be by using single bridge and filtering VLANs.

+= Things to be done
+
+NixTurris is open-source project without any monetary backing. It is just an
+attempt to get NixOS and its advantages to the Turris routers. Please poke to
+these topics if you have some free time.
+
+These are big tasks. For the smaller ones please use Gitlab issues.
+
+
+== Bugs to be solved
+
+Generate template configuration in `/etc/nixos/`:: This is common way
+the installation of NixOS proceeds. We would use it only with NixOS rebuild on
+site but we should still do it.
+
+PCIe on Omnia does not work:: There are patches that make it work on Turris OS
+and attempt to port them to this repository but some important patch seems to be
+still missing as it doesn't work.
+
+Boot files should be copied to `/boot` on tarball:: The standard syslinux
+generator copies boot files (linux, initrd and dtb) to `/boot` while current
+implementation in tarball keeps them in Nix store. This prevents installation on
+separate boot partition.
+
+Native build for Turris Omnia doesn't work:: There are multiple packages that
+fail to build when compiled natively on armv7. This can be either due to Qemu or
+more likely that they are just not prepared to be build on armv7. The most of
+the packages fail their test phases as they most likely expect 64bit system.
+
+
+== Improvements to be tackled
+
+Firewall configuration with zones and masquarade:: The NixOS firewall should be
+expanded or replaced by firewall configuration that provides multiple zones with
+ability to set NAT between them.
+
+Easier Wi-Fi AP configuration:: There should be some better way to configure
+Wi-Fi without reading load of documentation on how to setup Hostapd. One option
+is to have minimal user configuration and fill the rest when generating
+configuration based on Wi-Fi adapter. The second and probably easier option is
+to just provide simple configuration with verified settings for the Wi-Fi cards
+shipped with Turris routers.
+
+Minimal system build:: The Nix evaluation consumes considerable amount of RAM
+and thus it is not possible to rebuild NixOS on the device itself without using
+SWAP. The option is to cut out all modules that are just not required as they
+deal with graphics output and desktop. The initial work on that is already
+started in this repository but issue is that even core modules depend on desktop
+specific ones.
+
+Nix build of U-Boot:: The initial support for this is already present but we are
+missing some helper script to flash files to the appropriate block devices. The
+Turris Mox firmware also requires combination with ARM Trusted Firmware which is
+not done yet.
+
+Boot modes on Omnia to select previous profiles:: By modifying the U-Boot
+environment for rescue we might be able to use Omnia standard LEDs rescue mode
+selection to select older profiles. The selected led is passed just by set
+environment variable to the U-Boot script but we would have to patch the U-Boot
+to change the rescue environment.
