Linux for 3DS is a homebrew project that allows you to run Linux on your 3DS.

Installation

Installing

Note: You should already have boot9strap or fastboot3DS installed (if you followed the guide, boot9strap is your bootloader and Luma is your chainloader).

You will need the following files:

zImage, nintendo3ds_ctr.dtb or nintendo3ds_ktr.dtb(N3DS) from linux (Linux kernel source tree), can be built from buildroot.
firm_linux_loader.firm from firm_linux_loader (FIRM Linux Loader for the Nintendo 3DS).
arm9linuxfw.bin from arm9linuxfw (implement virtio over PXI for ARM11 <-> ARM9 communications on the Nintendo 3DS console).

Copy them to your SD card so it looks something like this:

Root 
 |-linux/ 
 |  |-arm9linuxfw.bin
 |  |-nintendo3ds_ctr.dtb or nintendo3ds_ktr.dtb(N3DS)
 |  |-zImage
 |-luma/
 |  |-payloads/
 |  |  |-firm_linux_loader.firm

Building

Please see the official wiki pages and the tutorial video below.

User guide

You need to boot the firm_linux_loader.firm file, which will in turn load all the generated binaries (zImage, nintendo3ds_ctr.dtb or nintendo3ds_ktr.dtb depending on your model and arm9linuxfw.bin) into memory and boot the kernel.

The default rootfs will ask you a username and password, currently there are no users so you can log in as root with the password toor.
