= Pi-gen Micro
Richard Oliver
pi-gen-micro is a system designed to build *tiny* embedded operating systems from the same package sources as Raspberry Pi OS.
Why? Because this means you get the latest hardware support and updates in line with a widely-used and tested OS.
== Installing
=== Build the package
Use the standard Debian `devscripts` package:
```
sudo apt install -y devscripts
debuild -uc -us
```
=== Installing the package
```
sudo dpkg -i ../pi-gen-micro_0.0.1-1_arm64.deb
```
== Usage
```
sudo pi-gen-micro ${CONFIGURATION_NAME}
```
For example, the `fastboot` gadget used by `rpi-sb-provisioner`:
```
pushd $(mktemp -d)
sudo pi-gen-micro fastboot
```
== Updating packages for use with `pi-gen-micro`
```
cd packages
dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz
```
