Build Fedora Image for RISC-V development board
Making Image by Appliance-tools
Appliance-tools is used to build Fedora images, which has already installed in the image.
Setup Environment
We use latest Fedora Qemu image for RISC-V64 from riscv.rocks or a mirror in China to boot a RISC-V Qemu for building a Fedora Remix image.
Run Fedora on QEMU
Download Pre-build image and Uncompress
$ wget https://openkoji.iscas.ac.cn/pub/dl/riscv/qemu/Fedora-Developer-Rawhide-20210421.n.0-sda.raw.xz $ xz -d Fedora-Developer-Rawhide-20210421.n.0-sda.raw.xz
Download Firmware
$ wget https://openkoji.iscas.ac.cn/pub/dl/riscv/qemu/fw_payload-uboot-qemu-virt-smode.bin
Resize Image
The original image size is not enough for image building, we need enlarge it first.
$ qemu-img resize Fedora-Developer-Rawhide-20210421.n.0-sda.raw +40G
Boot RISC-V Qemu
qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic \
-machine virt \
-smp 4 \
-m 2G \
-kernel fw_payload-uboot-qemu-virt-smode.bin \
-bios none \
-object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \
-device virtio-rng-device,rng=rng0 \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
-drive file=Fedora-Developer-Rawhide-20210421.n.0-sda.raw,format=raw,id=hd0 \
-device virtio-net-device,netdev=usernet \
-netdev user,id=usernet,hostfwd=tcp::10000-:22
Resize rootfs on Qemu
# growpart /dev/vda 2 # resize2fs /dev/vda2 # reboot
Prepare kick start file
The original Kickstart files is from riscv.rocks: fedora-riscv-kickstarts.
The kick start file for a specific board can be modified from these files.
For Allwinner D1, the example kickstart file REPO is here .
For StarFive Starlight Board, the example kickstart file REPO is here .
Run appliance tool to build a new image on QEMU
On QEMU, boot into Fedora Image, then
IMAGE_NAME=Fedora-d1-riscv64-developer-xfce-with-esp-Rawhide
IMAGE_VERSION=Rawhide
IMAGE_RELEASE=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`
OUTPUT_DIR=./images
CACHE_DIR=./cache
KS_FILE=./fedora-riscv64-d1-developer-xfce-rawhide.ks
appliance-creator -c kickstartfile.ks \
--cache ${CACHE_DIR} \
--format raw \
--name ${IMAGE_NAME} \
--version ${IMAGE_VERSION} \
--release ${IMAGE_RELEASE} \
-o ${OUTPUT_DIR}
The result will be in the current dir, named Fedora-d1-riscv64-developer-xfce-with-esp-Rawhide-*.raw.xz
Alternative: build Image by oepkgs.net ==
We also can build RISC-V images by oepkgs.net
Please follow register work flow to register an account in oepkgs.net.
Gitee.com
Repo to control tasks on [oepkgs.net](https://oepkgs.net) should be hosting on [Gitee.com](https://gitee.com) site. The repo URL should be sent to admin of [oepkgs.net](https://oepkgs.net) on register.
[This file](https://gitee.com/ocean8192/prjtst/blob/master/d1_xfce_img.json) is an example of for image build task.
kickstart
We need proper kickstart files to control image build.
Follow web hook setup workflow to configure task trigger web hooks.
