Debian-Sunxi

Bootstrap a minimal debian rootfs with sunxi kernel and boot files. For now only 4 olinuxino boards are available. All scripts in this repository are generic so it's easy to add a new boad. Please make a pull request if you create and test a new board. I need reviewers for olinuxino lime2 and micro olinuxino boards.

Thanks to lukas2511 for quick bootstrap, and igorpecovnik for some useful scripts.

Build docker image

git clone https://github.com/bleuchtang/sunxi-debian
cd sunxi-debian && sudo docker build -t debian:olinux .

Build sunxi kernel and boot files

To build sunxi kernel and boot files run:

sudo docker run --privileged -i -t -v $(pwd)/olinux/:/olinux/ debian:olinux bash /olinux/create_sunxi_boot_files.sh -c

Optional arguments:

  • -o off-line mode; doesn't pull repositories so you should have run the script once without this option
  • -b board type (lime,lime2,micro) default is A20 lime
  • -t number of thread for compilation
  • -l change linux logo on u-boot and kernel
  • Build minimal arm debootstrap

    We cannot perform a debootstrap in dockerfile because dockerfile doesn't accept privileged mode. For more details see docker issue

    To build the minimal debian rootfs with the kernel previously build:

    sudo docker run --privileged -i -t -v $(pwd)/olinux/:/olinux/ debian:olinux bash /olinux/create_arm_debootstrap.sh -i olinux/sunxi -c
    

    Optional arguments:

    • -n hostnane
    • -a add additional packages
    • -d debian release (wheezy, jessie...)
    • -i install kernel previously build
    • -y install yunohost with chroot (testing)
    • Install on a SD card

      Setup SD card device

      Find your device card (with dmesg for instance). Call create_device script with this device in parameter. This script install debootstrap previously build.

      sudo bash olinux/create_device.sh -d /dev/sdc
      

      You can directly create a image file that you can copy after on your sd card or share with others.

      sudo bash olinux/create_device.sh -d img -s 500
      

      /!\ If you install some additional packages you should increase the size of the image (change the -s 500 parameter).

      Login to your Olimex

      Find IP and ssh on it! (password: olinux)

      hint: The IP address is displayed on the login screen, but you must plug a screen.

      ssh root@mybox
      

      Some links/tips:

      Convert bmp logo to ppm

      bmptoppm Labriqueinter.net.bmp > Labriqueinter.net.ppm
      ppmquant 224 Labriqueinter.net.ppm > Labriqueinter.net224.ppm
      nmnoraw Labriqueinter.net224.ppm > Labriqueinter.net.ppm
      

      You probably want to Build your own docker image

      • Because it's quick and easy; tutorial here
      • Because you shouldn't trust registry images; demonstration here
