Debian Wheezy Debootstrap
A VERY ROUGH SET OF INSTRUCTIONS, RUN WITH CARE
This set of instructions assumes you have a functioning Novena board with Debian Wheezy. These instructions are primarily for people who want to re-create the firmware/base image. It relies on various bits and pieces of information on this wiki.
Prerequisites
- An existing Novena board running Debian Wheezy .
- Root access on your board, ideally have sudo access with no password.
- A 4gb microsd card.
- A reasonably fast network connection.
- Approximately 10gigs of free diskspace (more is probably better so you can cache things during testing/dev) - ideally get a SSD plugged into the board.
- Assumes 'you as a user' has tried building a linux kernel, u-boot etc...
Summary
- generate u-boot boot loader and boot script
- generate uImage and uImage.dtb file
- generate debian packages for the kernel
- generate a blockdevice or use a real sdcard
- first partition is a fat32 partition for the kernel and boot.scr
- second partition is for the operating system
- debootstrap the second partition
