Mathias Beaulieu-Duncan 907dd98b24 Split README into user manual and TECHNICAL.md 
Move CI/CD, runner setup, secrets, and project structure to
TECHNICAL.md. Streamline README as a user-facing guide with
install/upgrade instructions. Fix Docker badges for arm64.

Talos CM5 Builder

Custom Talos Linux images for Raspberry Pi 5 / CM5 on Compute Blade hardware.

Docker Hub Docker Pulls Docker Image Size

The official Talos Image Factory does not support CM5 — the mainline kernel lacks CM5 device trees and RP1 driver support. This builder uses the RPi downstream kernel (via talos-rpi5/talos-builder patches) to produce working CM5 images with our extensions and overclock config.

Current versions

Component Version
Talos Linux v1.12.3
RPi Kernel 6.12.47 arm64 only
iscsi-tools v0.1.6
util-linux-tools 2.40.4

Image tags

Release images are published to docker.io/svrnty/talos-rpi5 with the format:

v<talos>-k<kernel>-<revision>

For example: v1.12.3-k6.12.47-2

Segment Meaning
v1.12.3 Upstream Talos Linux version
k6.12.47 RPi downstream kernel version
2 Build revision (bumped for config/patch changes on the same upstream versions)

Usage

Install from raw disk image

Download metal-arm64.raw.zst from the latest release and flash to eMMC:

zstd -d metal-arm64.raw.zst -o metal-arm64.raw
# Flash to eMMC/SD via your preferred tool (dd, balenaEtcher, etc.)

Upgrade an existing node

talosctl upgrade --image docker.io/svrnty/talos-rpi5:v1.12.3-k6.12.47-2

What's included

  • RPi downstream kernel with CM5/RP1 support
  • Overclock: 2.6GHz (arm_freq=2600, over_voltage_delta=50000, arm_boost=1)
  • Extensions: iscsi-tools, util-linux-tools

Building

For local builds, CI/CD setup, runner configuration, and project structure, see TECHNICAL.md.
