ARM SDK

OS development toolkit for various ARM embedded devices

Introduction

ARM SDK is a build system used to toast OS images for ARM devices. Currently only Devuan is supported, but later on support for other distros will be added.

Requirements

This SDK is designed to be used interactively from a terminal as well from shell scripts.

Using a Debian-based OS, install the following packages:

gnupg2 debootstrap curl rsync gcc-arm-none-eabi parted kpartx qemu-user-static sudo git-core parted gcc-multilib lib32z1 u-boot-tools device-tree-compiler

Quick start

First clone the SDK repository:

; git clone https://github.com/dyne/arm-sdk.git

Then run ZSh. In case you have conflicting extensions on your zsh configuration, it may be needed to run from a vanilla one, using:

; zsh --no-rcs

then step inside the sdk, "source" it:

; cd arm-sdk

; source sdk

Now is the time you choose the device you want to build the image for. Currently you can choose one of the following:

raspi2
bananapi
cubieboard2

; init-arm raspi2

Once initialized, you will get further instructions.

For more info, please consult the README included in the arm subdirectory.

Configuration

Edit the config file included in the root directory of arm-sdk to your liking. If you are using a custom toolchain, add it to the PATH as described.

Acknowledgments

The Devuan SDK was conceived during a period of residency at the Schumacher college in Dartington UK, greatly inspired by the laborious and mindful atmosphere of its wonderful premises.

ARM SDK is designed, written and maintained by parazyd parazyd@dyne.org

Inspiration taken from Devuan SDK and Kali Linux ARM buildscripts.
