MangoPi MQ-Quad Alpine

This repository provides configs and a script to compile the Linux kernel + Alpine Linux as the root filesystem for the MangoPi MQ-Quad.


## Build script

### Prerequisites

- Uses `apt` to install the required packages, should work on Ubuntu and Debian, I only tested it on Debian

- The scripts needs access to the `/dev/loop*` files to create the image

- It uses `/mnt/boot` and `/mnt/rootfs` as mounting points, make sure these folders are unused

### Running the script

⚠️ You run this script at your own risk.

```shell

git clone https://github.com/GiyoMoon/mangopi-mq-quad-alpine.git

cd mangopi-mq-quad-alpine

chmod +x ./build_image.sh

./build_image.sh

```

The [build script](./build_image.sh) does the following:

- Build u-boot

- Build Linux kernel

  - Includes the `rtl8723ds` wifi driver, which is currently not in mainline

- Create image with Alpine Linux as the root filesystem

  - Configures wifi

    - It configures a static IP address, make sure [`interfaces`](./config/rootfs/interfaces) and [`resolv.conf`](./config/rootfs/resolv.conf) matches your network configuration

    - Set your SSID and password in [`init.start`](./config/rootfs/init.start)

  - Set `mango` as the default password for root (Had issues when trying to log in over UART with no password)

  - Enable SSH and allow root login

When finished, you should see `alpine.img` in the root of this repository.

## Todo

Not everything works yet. I'm trying to do/fix everything on this list.

- [ ] Documentation of the script

- [ ] Rewrite the device tree

  - [ ] Get SPI working

  - [ ] Get HDMI working

  - [ ] Get the act LED working

- [ ] Get SSH working

- [x] Fix filesystem

  - [x] Correctly mount partition 1 to `/boot`

  - [x] Make partition 1 take up full SD card space

- [ ] Make sure that Alpine runs in diskless mode

If you need anything else, feel free to open an issue and I will have a look.
