How to build my own image?

Prerequisition:

• x86 machine running any OS, 4G ram, SSD, quad core (recommended)

• virtual box or similar virtualization software.

• download and install Ubuntu 14.04 (recommended). Ubuntu 15.04 and Debian Jessie might work well too.

• install basic server, OpenSSH and Samba (optional)

• SSH to VM as root and execute:

    apt-get -y install git
    git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib
    cp lib/compile.sh .
    chmod +x compile.sh
    ./compile.sh
  

This will download all necessary sources, execute compilation and build an bootable image.

Most of things will be cached so next run will be extremly faster!

Prerequisition are the same as building an image!

Edit compile.sh prior to running and alter switch:

KERNEL_ONLY="yes"

In directory (output/debs) you will find deb packed kernel, together with headers, firmware and u-boot.

If you are doing changes to kernel source, disable GIT lock with:

FORCE_CHECKOUT="no"

If you want to invoke menu configuration:

KERNEL_CONFIGURE="yes"
