[BPI-R64] Image builder Arch Linux:
I have pushed the initial version of my new image builder for R64 on github.
It builds an image for running Arch Linux. There is also a pre-build image ready for download, see assets in the release, or the download link located here below. You can use this image as try-out. If you like it, then you can use the script later. I’ve tested the script running on Arch Linux, should work on debian/ubuntu too.
The script only installs packages and configures them. It will therefore not take too long to create an image.
Everything that needs building is pre-built and can be updated through the AUR. Kernel is also a prebuild package, based on the
linux-rolling-stable
branch. When updating the linux-bpir64-git
package in the AUR, it should build the newest stable linux version and install it automaticallty. The same goes for the Arm Trusted Firmware bpir64-atf-git
, it is also a package, but it does not have many updates. When installed/upgraded it is automatically written to the correct partition. There is a separate package bpir64-mkimage
, which is modified to stretch the image leaving empty space on sectors 2 through 34, so a GPT table can be used without problems.
Devicetree can be edited on the spot through devicetree overlay sources, one command to save changes: bpir64-writefip
and then reboot with the new devicetree.
Note: With the emmc version, wan only works with bootswitch set to boot from emmc first! (see closed issues buildR64ubuntu)
