sgufa Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Hi. Any idea about including snappy ubuntu core in the build process?
Igor Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I haven't fall into snappy philosophy yet but I am open for such initiatives. It's possible with your help - at the moment I don't know what's needed, how to build it manual way, what are possible problems, ... This is current procedure for creating rootfs: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/debootstrap.sh ... and this will be next generation: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/debootstrap-ng.sh If you are not familiar with scripting it might look odd but there are quite some differences between OS which we need to care about.
zador.blood.stained Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/guides/porting/ This doen't look too hard, but it won't be compatible with current debootstrap/image creation process and with current per-board tweaks, so it has to be written and tested from scratch.
sgufa Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 actually it isnt hard. it needs 2 identical partitions ( A and B ) for rootfs (they have to be the same for upgrading and security reasons) and 1 for data + the boot one. I've just found a bpi r1 image for sdcard wich works very well. It has vanilla kernel so it cant be installed on nand. The question is if it would work with legacy kernel for nand support....
