BerryCore v0.83.0 — networking & media packages

BerryCore v0.83.0

Core package update — networking, media, and Git tools.

New packages

Package	Version	Binaries
util-ping	1.0.0	ping
util-tcpdump	4.99.5	tcpdump
util-nixtla-audio	1.0.0	play-audio, demoPlayWav, demoCaptureEco

Upgrades

Package	Was	Now
ffmpeg	4.2.2	6.1.2 (ffmpeg, ffprobe)
tig	2.5.0	2.6.1 (includes etc/tigrc)

Usage

qpkg update                    # or manual install.sh --upgrade
ping 8.8.8.8
tcpdump -i bpe0 -c 10
tig                            # Git log browser
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vn out.wav
play-audio song.mp3            # BB10 speaker via nixtla + ffmpeg

Notes

• play-audio decodes MP3/video with ffmpeg 6.1, plays WAV via OpenAL on Passport
• TIGRC is exported in env.sh for tig 2.6.1 config
• Upgrade installs new package zips; old ffmpeg-4.2.2 and tig-2.5.0 removed from bundle

Assets

• berrycore.zip — BerryCore 0.83.0
• install.sh

BerryCore v0.82.3 — fix qpkg update

Fixes qpkg update skipping patch releases (0.82 → 0.82.2). Version compare now handles x.y.z without python3. Use qpkg update --force to reinstall if VERSION already matches.

BerryCore v0.82.2 — fix qpkg install bcllm ai

Fixes ai not working after qpkg install bcllm. qpkg now always writes a real ai wrapper to berrycore/bin/ai (no symlinks). Run qpkg update then qpkg install bcllm.

BerryCore v0.82.1 — fix ai command

BerryCore v0.82.1

Fixes ai "prompt" not working after qpkg install bcllm.

What was wrong

• The port zip accidentally shipped the full 25KB AI script instead of the small ai wrapper (macOS case-insensitive filesystem merged ai and AI during build).
• Invoking ai via a symlink broke AI_HOME, so quick prompts failed even when bcllm was installed.

What's fixed

• ports/ai-bcllm-1.2.1.zip — ships bin/ai as the wrapper script (571 bytes), bin/bcllm-ai as the real assistant.
• qpkg install bcllm — always installs a real ai script into berrycore/bin/ and runs setup-ai.sh.
• install.sh — no longer symlinks ai → bcllm-ai during relocation.

After upgrading

qpkg update          # gets fixed qpkg from berrycore.zip
qpkg install bcllm   # reinstall / refresh ai wrapper
. ~/.profile
ai "What is QNX?"

Or fresh install: download berrycore.zip + install.sh from this release.

Assets

• berrycore.zip — BerryCore 0.82.1 with bundled bcllm + fixed qpkg
• install.sh
• berrycore-helper.apk — sideload installer (optional)
• ports/ai-bcllm-1.2.1.zip — qpkg port (also via qpkg install bcllm)
• bcllm-passport-1.2.1.tar.gz — upstream source tarball

BerryCore v0.82 — On-device AI bundled + Helper APK

BerryCore v0.82 bundles on-device AI (bcllm 1.2.1) in the main install and ships an updated BerryCore Helper APK for sideloading.

---

On-device AI — bcllm 1.2.1 (bundled)

BerryCore AI (llama.cpp) is included in berrycore.zip as core package ai-bcllm-1.2.1.zip. After install, binaries live at:

/accounts/1000/shared/misc/bcllm/

install.sh moves the bundled tree out of the berrycore directory and links ai into $NATIVE_TOOLS/bin.

ai download smollm2_135m      # ~101 MB, needs wget + Wi-Fi
ai                            # interactive menu
ai "What is the capital of France?"
ai web                        # http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Requires: wget (core package), Wi-Fi for first model download

---

BerryCore Helper APK

Sideload berrycore-helper.apk to install BerryCore from the BB10 Android runtime — no PC required.

1. Download berrycore-helper.apk from this release
2. Sideload (Sachesi, Chrome extension, etc.)
3. Open BerryCore Helper → run installer
4. Copy to Documents if prompted, then: sh install.sh --upgrade -y

---

Install on Passport

Option A — Helper APK: sideload berrycore-helper.apk → install from app

Option B — Manual:

# copy berrycore.zip + install.sh to device
sh install.sh --upgrade -y --dir $NATIVE_TOOLS
. $NATIVE_TOOLS/env.sh

Option C — qpkg port only (if already on BerryCore ≥0.81):

qpkg install bcllm
ai download smollm2_135m
ai

Or standalone tarball:

tar xzf bcllm-passport-1.2.1.tar.gz -C /accounts/1000/shared/misc/
sh /accounts/1000/shared/misc/bcllm/setup-ai.sh

---

• wget 1.25.0 — HTTPS downloads

Upgrade: qpkg update or sh install.sh --upgrade -y --dir $NATIVE_TOOLS

Verify:

cat $NATIVE_TOOLS/VERSION    # 0.82
which ai
ls /accounts/1000/shared/misc/bcllm/bin/

BerryCore v0.82 — June 2026

BerryCore v0.81.1 — bcllm LLM + BerryCore Helper APK

BerryCore v0.81.1 adds the bcllm on-device LLM port and ships the BerryCore Helper Android APK for easy sideloading. Also includes the v0.81 core packages (ncdu, chafa, dcron, wget) and the fixed qpkg update upgrade path.

---

bcllm 1.2.1 — on-device LLM (new port)

Run SmolLM / Gemma / Qwen models locally on BB10 via llama.cpp — no cloud API key required.

qpkg ports                    # lists bcllm
qpkg install bcllm

ai download smollm2_135m      # ~101 MB, needs wget + Wi-Fi
ai                            # interactive menu
ai "What is the capital of France?"
ai web                        # browser chat at http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Requires: wget (core package), Wi-Fi for first model download
Install path: /accounts/1000/shared/misc/bcllm/
Help: $NATIVE_TOOLS/../bcllm/share/bcllm/HELP.txt or cat /accounts/1000/shared/misc/bcllm/share/bcllm/HELP.txt

Optional profile setup:

sh /accounts/1000/shared/misc/bcllm/setup-ai.sh

---

BerryCore Helper APK

BerryCore Helper is an Android APK that bundles BerryCore for sideloading on BB10 (Android runtime). Install BerryCore without a PC — open the app and tap install.

1. Download berrycore-helper.apk from this release
2. Sideload with Sachesi, Chrome extension, or your usual tool
3. Open BerryCore Helper on the device and run the installer
4. After install, run qpkg update to pick up v0.81.1 (includes bcllm qpkg support)
5. Then: qpkg install bcllm

---

Upgrade from v0.81

qpkg update
# or manually:
sh install.sh --upgrade -y --dir $NATIVE_TOOLS
. $NATIVE_TOOLS/env.sh

Verify:

cat $NATIVE_TOOLS/VERSION    # 0.81.1
grep bcllm $NATIVE_TOOLS/bin/qpkg
qpkg install bcllm

---

Also in this release line (v0.81)

Core packages (auto-install on upgrade):

• ncdu 1.22 — disk usage TUI
• chafa 1.14.4 — terminal image viewer
• dcron 4.5 — cron scheduler
• wget 1.25.0 — HTTPS downloads

qpkg update fix — non-interactive upgrade with per-package install stamps.

---

BerryCore v0.81.1 — June 2026

BerryCore v0.81 — ncdu, chafa, dcron, qpkg upgrade fix

BerryCore v0.81 adds ncdu 1.22 (disk usage TUI) and chafa 1.14.4 (terminal image viewer) as core packages — same install model as wget and dcron. Also includes dcron, wget 1.25.0, and qpkg fixes from earlier releases if you have not upgraded yet.

---

ncdu 1.22 (core package)

Interactive disk usage analyzer — find what's eating space, drill into folders, delete from the UI.

qpkg update
ncdu /accounts/1000/shared/misc
ncdu /accounts/1000/r              # SD card

Keys: ↑↓ move, Enter enter dir, d delete, n/s/C sort, q quit

Notes:

• Needs a real TTY — use Term49 or ssh -t passport ncdu ~
• Export scans: ncdu -o /var/tmp/scan.json /path then ncdu -f /var/tmp/scan.json

---

chafa 1.14.4 (core package)

View photos and images in the terminal — JPEG, PNG, GIF, and more.

chafa --version
chafa-show photo.jpg
chafa-show -w 48 ~/Pictures/image.png

Notes:

• chafa-show is the easy wrapper; chafa is the low-level CLI
• Works best with TERM=xterm-256color (set automatically)
• SD card: /accounts/1000/removable/sdcard/...

---

dcron 4.5 (core package)

If upgrading from before v0.80:

cron-start
crontab -e
crontab -l

---

GNU Wget 1.25.0 (core package)

If upgrading from v0.78 or earlier:

wget --version
wget -O- https://example.com/ | head

---

Upgrade

qpkg update
# or manually:
sh install.sh --upgrade -y --dir $NATIVE_TOOLS
. $NATIVE_TOOLS/env.sh

Verify:

cat $NATIVE_TOOLS/VERSION    # 0.81
ncdu --version
chafa --version
cron-start && crontab -l

---

qpkg update fix

• qpkg update now runs a non-interactive upgrade into your existing $NATIVE_TOOLS tree
• install.sh --upgrade -y --dir $NATIVE_TOOLS for manual upgrades
• Per-package install stamps (.berrycore_pkg_stamps/) so new core packages (ncdu, chafa, dcron) install correctly on upgrade

---

BerryCore v0.81 — June 2026

BerryCore **v0.79** upgrades **GNU Wget to 1.25.0*

BerryCore v0.79 upgrades GNU Wget to 1.25.0 with modern HTTPS (same OpenSSL generation as curl 8.12.1 / git 2.47.2), and fixes qpkg port installs when the shell environment was not loaded.

---

GNU Wget 1.25.0 (core package)

Wget ships inside BerryCore — no separate port install. Upgrades automatically with this release.

What's new vs wget 1.20.3:

• GNU Wget 1.25.0 (Nov 2024 upstream)
• Static OpenSSL 1.1.1w (modern TLS)
• Wrapper sets SSL_CERT_FILE to BerryCore ssl/cert.pem (or bundled Mozilla CA fallback)

After upgrade:

wget --version
# GNU Wget 1.25.0 built on qnx.  +https +ssl/openssl

wget -O- https://example.com/ | head
wget -O file.zip https://example.com/file.zip

Run wget (the wrapper), not wget.bin directly, unless you set SSL_CERT_FILE yourself.

---

qpkg fixes

• Auto-detect NATIVE_TOOLS from the qpkg script path when env.sh was not sourced — fixes port install failures (/.tmp/ permission errors) and command not found after upgrade
• QNX-safe downloads — removed broken grep -o progress parsing on port installs

If port installs failed after a previous upgrade, try again after updating:

qpkg update
# open a new shell, or:
. $NATIVE_TOOLS/env.sh
qpkg install python3
qpkg install qnxdesktop

---

CHANGELOG.md

BerryCore v0.78 Claude Code

BerryCore v0.78 adds Claude Code on BB10, plus RocketChat and Mutt setup. Ports install via qpkg — no extra zips needed for Claude or RocketChat.

---

Claude Code on BB10

Run Anthropic Claude Code in your terminal: edit files, run commands, ask about your codebase. Bring your own API key from console.anthropic.com.

1. Install Node.js (required)

qpkg install node-term49
node -e "console.log('Node OK')"

2. Install Claude Code

qpkg install claude-code
claude-setup

claude-setup saves your key to ~/claude.key (mode 600).

3. Use Claude

claude help                 # BerryCore install / key / env docs
claude --help               # Claude Code CLI options
claude -p "hello from BB10"
claude -p "explain the files in my home directory"
claude                      # interactive session

API key options

Method	Command
Recommended	claude-setup
Manual file	echo 'sk-ant-...' > ~/claude.key && chmod 600 ~/claude.key
One session	export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

BB10 tips

• Requires node-term49 first
• Uses BerryCore bash for the Bash tool (QNX /bin/sh is ksh)
• Temp files go to ~/tmp (not /tmp)
• Tool use is auto-approved by default on personal devices; disable with CLAUDE_BB10_SKIP_PERMISSION_BYPASS=1

More detail: Claude Code port docs

---

RocketChat Navigator

Web app for RocketChat private groups and DMs. Port 8026.

qpkg install python3
qpkg install rocketchat
rocketchat
# Open http://localhost:8026 in your BB10 browser

rocketchat -f    # foreground (debugging)

First run: enter server URL, username, and password in the browser.

---

Mutt email setup

Interactive wizard for IMAP/SMTP — creates ~/.muttrc:

mutt-setup
mutt
