Disclaimer

  • Same as here.
  • The build system is GPL V3.

Principles

  • The target directory is likely to be a SD card. 8G recommended.
  • Phase 1 populates the target directory with the main ARMedslack Linux distribution.
  • Phase 2 populates the target directory with parts from official Open Pandora OS and tweaked stuff.
  • A specific part of rc.local is executed during the first boot on a Pandora.
  • The files folder contains tweaked stuff.
  • The pkg folder contains pre-built packages from a previous alpha build.
  • The sources folder contains sources for essential programs.
  • Some proprietary stuff is missing, like 3D drivers.

Get the build system

  • Get the archive here.
  • If you don't run a Slackware or a derivative, get the Slackware's installpkg script here.
  • Put it in /sbin and make it executable.

Dependencies

  • You need to download the official Open Pandora rootfs: http://openpandora.org/firmware/pandora-rootfs.tar.bz2
  • Uncompress it as root anywhere and link it to the build directory as "pandora-rootfs".
  • Format a 8G or more SD card with the Ext2 filesystem. To make explanations clear, name it SLACK.
  • If you don't know how to format a drive, use GParted under Linux, or run their Live-CD. Here's the manual.
  • It's highly recommended to have a second partition formated as a swap. 256M or more is a good choice.

Phase 1

  • Run as su -.
  • You'll see packages errors because it's a first run.

Phase 2

  • Run as su -.
  • For this very first alpha build, don't remove the SD card now, you have to edit ie.: /media/SLACK/etc/rc.d/rc.local

rc.local

  • Remove simple-comments in order to produce the needed packages during the first boot.
  • Put the SD card in the Pandora, and power it on.
  • The Pandora will generate all (or almost all) needed packages.
  • The Pandora will power off after having done the job. May last for one hour or two.
  • Remove the card.
  • Save all /media/SLACK/tmp/*.t?z in the PHASE-1.sh
 MYPKGS="/mnt/hd/sdb4/stockage/pandora/armed-pack/sbopkg/Aaa-base/"

folder of the build system.

  • Now, you can boot normally this alpha build.

In-between steps

  • Plug the net.
  • Launch sbopkg as su -, load the vrac1 queue file, process it saying yes to options and wait. This is gonna be very long. I really mean very.
  • Do the same with vrac2 and vrac3.
  • Save all /tmp/*.t?z in the MYPKGS="/mnt/hd/sdb4/stockage/pandora/armed-pack/sbopkg/Aaa-vrac/" folder of the build system.
  • Be careful with disk space, you may fill the card. If so, save and erase all /tmp/*.t?z between queues processing.

Final step

  • Create a new rootfs, with PHASE-1.sh and PHASE-2.sh
  • Edit /media/SLACK/etc/rc.d/rc.local to build the remaining packages to put in $MYPKGS/AAA-base/
  • Put the SD card in the Pandora, and power it on.
  • The Pandora will generate final needed packages.
  • The Pandora will power off after having done the job. May last for one hour or two.
  • Remove the card.
  • Save all /media/SLACK/tmp/*.t?z in $MYPKGS/AAA-base/ folder of the build system.
  • Now, you can create a complete rootfs.
