RuyiSDK 0.31 is now released. The corresponding package manager version is also 0.31.0.
You can download the RuyiSDK package manager from one of the following locations:
This update mainly consists of the following changes. Happy hacking!
- The RuyiSDK device installer now allows you to select a non-default (latest) version when multiple versions of a requested software package are available. This feature can be helpful if your development board requires an older system version.
- Added an experimental mode flag: the environment variable
RUYI_EXPERIMENTAL, for enabling experimental features for which we do not yet guarantee compatibility.
- Added experimental feature: Entity Database.
- This feature helps RuyiSDK provide useful information related to your devices. For example, you can now use
ruyi list --related-to-entity device:sipeed-lpi4a to query various software packages applicable to the Sipeed LicheePi 4A.
- Initial support includes four entity types: CPU microarchitecture (such as Xiangshan Nanhu, Xuantie C910, etc.), CPU models (such as Xiangshan Nanhu, Xuantie TH1520, etc.), device models (such as Sipeed LicheePi 4A, etc.), and software packages.
- These features are in preview, and incompatible changes may be made in the future to adapt to requirements, so they are only available when experimental mode is enabled. If you have use cases, please keep your
ruyi and software repository up to date.
- Engineering changes:
- To avoid releases being affected by temporary outages of physical CI resources, the RISC-V build tasks have also been temporarily migrated to free public runners provided by GitHub Actions.
- Upgraded the Python version used to build the one-file
ruyi distribution to 3.13.2.
RuyiSDK 0.30 is now released. The corresponding package manager version is also 0.30.0.
You can download the RuyiSDK package manager from one of the following locations:
This update mainly consists of the following changes. Happy hacking!
- Fixed an issue where
ruyi list --category-contains was not working.
- Fixed an issue where performing
ruyi install immediately after a fresh installation of ruyi would cause a crash.
- Repository format updates:
- Added an experimental structured device model description database based on the current device installer configuration data, with initial support for describing the CPU and microarchitecture capabilities of each device model.
- Engineering changes:
- Migrated AArch64 build tasks to free public runners provided by GitHub Actions, to reduce maintenance costs for the RuyiSDK team.
- Fixed the CI open source license check task.
RuyiSDK 0.29 is now released. The corresponding package manager version is also 0.29.0.
You can download the RuyiSDK package manager from one of the following locations:
This update mainly consists of the following changes. Happy hacking!
- Fixed the porcelain mode support for the
ruyi news list command.
- Added porcelain mode support for the
ruyi news read command, with the return format matching that of ruyi news list.
- Repository format updates:
- No longer supports global configurations and package descriptions in JSON format. The official RuyiSDK repository has been migrated since version 0.18 and is not expected to be affected by this change. If you have not yet upgraded your
ruyi version, it is recommended that you reinstall ruyi and recreate your virtual environments (if any).
- An optional
upstream_version field is allowed in package manifests, which is used to record the corresponding upstream version for that version. Since the RuyiSDK repository uses semantic versioning, some form of mapping is often required for upstream versioning schemes that do not conform to semantic versioning; this field helps tools in the RuyiSDK ecosystem understand such mapping relationships.
- Made backward-compatible provisions for future support of package-level shared metadata.
RuyiSDK 0.28 is now released. The corresponding package manager version is also 0.28.0.
You can download the RuyiSDK package manager from one of the following locations:
This update mainly consists of the following changes. Happy hacking!
- When running commands that do not rely on repository data, the repository will no longer be pulled if it is not yet locally present.
ruyi list now supports basic filtering queries: use --category-is to query packages under a specific category, and use --name-contains to query packages whose names contain specific text.ruyi list without any parameters is no longer supported due to the ever-increasing number of packages. If you have scripts that rely on the previous behavior, please modify them according to the prompts.
- Added the following packages:
source/wiringx: Official source code for the wiringX project. wiringX is a modular GPIO support component.
- Updated the following packages:
board-image/bianbu-bpi-f3board-image/revyos-milkv-melesboard-image/revyos-sg2042-milkv-pioneer
- Fixed the file type marker for the
boot partition of board-image/revyos-milkv-meles.
RuyiSDK 0.27 is now released. The corresponding package manager version is also 0.27.0.
You can download the RuyiSDK package manager from one of the following locations:
This update mainly consists of the following changes. Happy hacking!
- Added the
ruyi telemetry upload command. If you are okay with sharing with us your usage data, now in non-persistent environments such as CI builds, you can ensure with the command that telemetry data is uploaded before the task ends and the environment is cleaned up.
- Added support for specifying service levels for software package versions. If a particular version of a software package has known issues,
ruyi will display a prompt when installing or extracting that version. This information can be maintained by packagers in the software source. In the future, filtering packages by service level will also be supported: it will be possible to skip versions with known issues, or only use verified versions, etc.
- Engineering changes:
- Added support for pygit2 1.17.0. The one-file distribution of
ruyi has been switched to this version.
- Updated the following packages:
board-image/buildroot-sdk-milkv-duoboard-image/buildroot-sdk-milkv-duo256mboard-image/buildroot-sdk-milkv-duos-sdboard-image/uboot-revyos-sipeed-lpi4a-16gboard-image/uboot-revyos-sipeed-lpi4a-8g
- Fixed issues with some packages being unable to download normally after receiving automated version upgrades.
RuyiSDK 0.26 is now released. The corresponding package manager version is also 0.26.0.
You can download the RuyiSDK package manager from one of the following locations:
This update mainly consists of the following changes. Happy hacking!
- Added a
--verbose (-v) option to ruyi telemetry status, allowing users to continue viewing their telemetry data upload plans after running ruyi telemetry consent.
- Fixed an issue where the toolchain
-mcpu value might not be correctly mapped when creating a virtual environment using a vendor toolchain. If you are affected, please recreate your virtual environment after running ruyi update.
- Continued work on platform compatibility guarantees:
- Added a platform compatibility technical document that clarifies the baseline versions of third-party dependencies currently supported by
ruyi.
- Ensured via CI that all changes to
ruyi do not affect ruyi passing the test suite on Ubuntu 22.04.
- Engineering changes:
- Fixed an issue where a layer of subdirectory structure was missing in the source package.
- Updated Poetry to version 2.0, along with updating the Python project metadata (
pyproject.toml) for ruyi.
- Updated
board-image/revyos-sipeed-lpi4a.

You can download the RuyiSDK package manager from one of the following locations:
This update mainly consists of the following changes. Happy hacking!
- Added the
ruyi config subcommand, making it easier for users to query and modify RuyiSDK package manager configurations via command line or script. This command's usage was inspired by git config, see ruyi config --help output for details.
- Added the
ruyi telemetry subcommand, making it easier for users to query and change telemetry preferences via command line or script. See ruyi telemetry --help output for details.
- Specifically: Before expressing your telemetry preferences, you will receive a reminder every time you run
ruyi. You can now turn off telemetry data collection with ruyi telemetry off or explicitly accept telemetry data collection and upload with ruyi telemetry consent.
- Fixed an issue with Debian package extraction when used with arpy 1.x.
- Added two specification documents: RuyiSDK official software source package version specification, and RuyiSDK board model and system image naming specification. You can read these in the
docs/ directory of the RuyiSDK package manager repository.
