Building the image

Building the image#

The build.sh script creates a qemu image, starts it and compiles all custom myMPDos packages. The result is custom Alpine Linux image that bootstraps its configuration and uses this repository as additional apk source.

  1. Create the image with ./build.sh build

  2. The image is created in the images directory

  3. Optionally run ./build.sh cleanup to cleanup things

Inspect#

You can inspect the created image:

  • Run ./image.sh mount to mount the image

  • Image is mounted to tmp/mnt

  • Run ./image.sh umount to unmount the image

Test#

Do not burn the image after test to the sd-card. After first start of an image all bootstrap files are removed.

  • Run ./image.sh start to start the image with qemu

Build dependencies#

  • Qemu (qemu-system-aarch64)

  • Working internet connection

  • Standard linux tools
