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 -s
Optional arguments:
- -o off-line mode; doesn't pull repositories so you should have run the script once without this option
- -b board type (a10lime, a20lime, a20lime2, a20micro) default is A20 lime
- -t target directory for compilation (default /olinux/sunxi)
- -j number of thread for compilation (default 2)
- -l change linux logo on u-boot and kernel
- -c use cross-compilation settings
- -s use stable tarball (for linux kernel and u-boot) instead of GIT tree
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:
- -d debian release (wheezy, jessie) (default: jessie)
- -b olinux board (see config_board.sh) (default: a20lime)
- -a add packages to deboostrap
- -n hostname (default: olinux)
- -t target directory for debootstrap (default: /olinux/debootstrap)
- -i (bool) install sunxi kernel files; you should have build them before.
- -y (bool) install yunohost (doesn't work with cross debootstrap)
- -c (bool) cross debootstrap
- -p (bool) use aptcacher proxy
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
