Go [http://fedora-riscv.tranquillity.se/koji/tasks?state=closed&view=flat&method=createAppliance&order=-id to this link for the nightly builds] and select the most recent (top) build.  Look for the <code>-sda.raw.xz</code> file and download it.  It will usually be quite large, around 200-300 MB.

The disk image is compressed and partitioned, but usually we need an uncompressed, unpartitioned ("naked") filesystem.  There are several ways to get this, but the easiest is:
* [[Architectures/RISC-V/QEMU|QEMU]]


<pre>
= Real hardware =
$ unxz Fedora-Developer-Rawhide-xxxx.n.0-sda.raw.xz
$ guestfish -a Fedora-Developer-Rawhide-xxxx.n.0-sda.raw \
    run : download /dev/sda1 Fedora-Developer-Rawhide-xxxx.n.0-sda1.raw
</pre>


This creates a naked ext4 filesystem called <code>*-sda1.raw</code> which can be used in qemu or booted on the [https://www.sifive.com/products/hifive-unleashed/ HiFive Unleashed board].

= Boot under qemu =
 
You will need a very recent version of qemu.  If in doubt, compile from upstream qemu sources.
 
Get [https://fedorapeople.org/groups/risc-v/disk-images/bbl bbl from here] or [https://github.com/rwmjones/fedora-riscv-kernel compile it from source].

= Install on the HiFive Unleashed SD card =
 
The naked ext4 filesystem can be copied over the second partition of the SD card.
 
You can also build a custom bbl+kernel+initramfs to boot directly into the SD card using [https://github.com/rwmjones/fedora-riscv-kernel these sources].
 
= Install on the HiFive Unleashed using NBD server =
 
Look at https://github.com/rwmjones/fedora-riscv-kernel in the <code>sifive_u540</code> branch.  This is quite complex to set up so it's best to ask on the <code>#fedora-riscv</code> IRC channel.
