README

        
Name:

   Raspberry Pi Mini Distribution

About:

   A basic GNU/Linux distribution for the Raspberry Pi

Main features:

   * Arm 1176zjf-s optimized

   * Glibc based toolchain

   * Systemd init system

   * GNU/Linux system utilities (no busybox)

   * Ethernet network support

   * OpenSSH client/server

Main builds:

   fs          - Filesystem

   linux       - Linux kernel

   bootloader  - Bootloader binaries, and configs

Quick build guide:

   git submodule update --init

   buildgear build fs

   buildgear build bootloader

Quick installation guide (on an SD card found on device /dev/mmcblk0):

   * Create an SD card with two partitions. E.g. using fdisk:

      sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk0  # then enter the following commands in fdisk:

      n,p,enter,enter,+100M    # first partition

      a                        # select first partition as bootable

      n,p,enter,enter,w        #second partition

   * Format the two partitions:

      sudo mkfs.vfat -n boot   /dev/mmcblk0p0

      sudo mkfs.ext4 -L rootfs /dev/mmcblk0p1

   * Copy the kernel and bootloader to the first partition

   * Untar the fs.tar.gz to the second partition

Build system requirements:

   Tested on Ubuntu 12.10 Minimal (64-bit x86) with the following additional

   packages installed:

   $ sudo apt-get install unzip gawk bison flex gperf texinfo libtool g++ \

                          libncurses5-dev libexpat1-dev gettext libglib2.0-dev \

                          xsltproc libxml2-utils docbook-xml intltool groff 

   Also requires reconfiguring "/bin/sh" to use bash:

   $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

   Fact: many software distributions fail to build using the dash shell.

Known issues:

   None

Filesystem layout:

   /usr/bin/            User binaries

   /usr/sbin/           System binaries (daemons, system utilities, etc.)

   /usr/lib/            Libraries

   /usr/lib//     Program specific libraries (plug-ins, addons, etc.)

   /usr/include/        Header files

   /usr/share/man/      Man pages

   /usr/share//   Program data files shared across all architectures

   /usr/etc//     Configuration files for user programs

   /etc/                Configuration files for system programs

   The filesystem directory hierachy is arranged according to the FHS 2.3 

   standard with the exceptions that /bin and /sbin are unused. Instead all

   software make use of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. For backwards compatibility

   /bin and /sbin remain links to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin respectively.
