Version Requirements
Important
For PoE board support with the /proc/pse interface, use OS images dated

Package Repository
For users running standard Raspberry Pi OS or Ubuntu, Exaviz provides a Debian package repository with the exaviz-dkms package for hardware support.
Add the repository:
# Download and add the GPG key
curl -fsSL https://exa-debian.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/exaviz-repo-key.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/exaviz.gpg
# Detect distribution and add the repository
DISTRO=$(lsb_release -cs 2>/dev/null || (grep VERSION_CODENAME /etc/os-release 2>/dev/null | cut -d= -f2) || echo "bookworm")
echo "deb [arch=arm64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/exaviz.gpg] https://exa-debian.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com ${DISTRO} main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/exaviz.list
# Update package lists
sudo apt update
# Install the package
sudo apt install exaviz-dkms
The script automatically detects your distribution (Debian Bookworm/Trixie, Ubuntu Noble, or Raspberry Pi OS) and uses the correct repository codename.
Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS Support
Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS (Noble) with kernel 6.8 is now fully supported. The exaviz-dkms package includes kernel 6.8 API compatibility fixes for the Cruiser Carrier Board.
