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

Optional arguments:

-o offline 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

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

Login to your Olimex

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

ssh root@mybox

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
