[oneinsect]

Hi Friends

 

Greetings and thanks for such a lovely forum. I have recently purchased a nanopi m1 which is based Allwinner H3.

 

Can someone please guide me on howto build an Armbian kernel + Armbian uboot with a custom userspace linux. More specifically I want to boot it with alpine-uboot-3.3.3-armhf.tar.gz image.

 

Any help?

 

Thanking you

I hope you dont mind

Dear Gravelrash

 

Assuming I do compile Kernel and uboot. How do tie the alpine userspace image with this?? Any idea?

[Gravelrash]

extract then overlay the two together.

 

These any use to you?

Im not an alpine user but the standard build behaviours should hold true

 

compile kernel and uboot

overlay with rootfs of choice

configure as needed

What do you mean overlay? Can you please be more elaborate? 

 

I currently compiled and have the uboot (script.bin file), linux kernel and dtb file. Now how do I "overlay" alpine linux with this? Any steps that I need to follow?

 

Thanks a lot for helping
