Hi, I love this image. Now I’d like to change some of the packages and config settings and regenerate it. Can you tell me briefly what I would need to do?
I’ve used debootstrap before, but never for the Pi. Not quite sure how to get started with the cross-compile.
How can I follow in your footsteps? Thanks!
Debootstrap is fine but you will need to download an arm toolchain to compile the kernel. I compiled my own toolchain (I use gentoo) but I’m pretty sure there are plenty to download.
Gotcha, thanks. I’m sure I can set up a good ARM toolchain, I’ve done that before.
How do you assemble the kernel and list of raspbian packages into the .img file?
Simplest way is to chroot into the image.
Interesting… Is that the way you update your image? Just shell in and manipulate it by hand?
I would have thought you’d use a buildscript.
Initially I used scripts to manage updates, but since I switched the image development from my laptop to my desktop I didn’t restore my full development environment and I simply chroot into the image because it’s way faster
Ha, that makes sense. Thanks for your advice!
