* Packaged libsparse
libsparse from the Android project provides multiple tools like img2simg
and simg2img.
These are used to split a large image for the system partition into
separate smaller chunks with sparse headers
This is required for several devices (at least bullhead, fp2 and titan)
because it fixes the "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" error
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/issues/299
* Added new variable deviceinfo_flash_sparse (fixes#299)
Right after the system image is generated, pmbootstrap checks this
variable. In case it is true, run img2simg on it
* motorola-titan: enable deviceinfo_flash_sparse
* libsparse: use source from github: anestisb/android-simg2img
It is not that easy to use the upstream archive because everytime
you download it, the files have the current date as creation date
and that makes the file have a different checksum every download
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/303#issuecomment-319017197
Per the APKBUILD reference, , package *-install scripts should be checksummed to guard against incomplete/corrupt downloads. The postmarketos-base package is one example where this is not being implemented currently.
Having it in boot doesn't actually work, the service is being started
too early and fails. This change moves it to the default runlevel. This
change also removes "wifi-handler" since that service doesn't actually
exist.
This updates the linux-postmarketos kernel to 4.12.4, and fixes an issue
where the APKBUILD was pulling down the 4.12 source but not the 4.12.x
patches. I think that pulling down the major.minor source and a sep.
package for patches to update to the major.minor.minor(er?) release adds
unnecessary complexity since kernel.org already hosts the sources with
these patches applied (e.g. in this case the 4.12.4 source)
@VictorNine did the port, all credit goes to him (and @drebrez and everyone else who helped him)!
* Added device HTC Ace (#181)
* Add HTC Desire HD (Ace) device-specific and kernel package
* Enable kernel virtual terminal support
* Added touchscreen device rules
* Added linux-firmware pkg. WIFI is now working
* device-htc-ace: Add deviceinfo_flash_offset_base
Huge thank you to @drebrez for his amazing work on this PR!
* Add generation of initramfs-extra with additional binaries
Extract both initramfs with `pmbootstrap initfs extract`
Add new splashscreens for missing partitions/files errors
Changes in init script:
- use busybox findfs applet to find boot partition
- mount boot partion
- extract initramfs-extra
- show error splashscreens accordingly and loop forever
- start usb unlock directly from unlock_root_partition (hook removed)
* Print out a text message for serial debugging in case of errors
Add initramfs-extra files to `pmbootstrap initfs ls` output
* Fix trailing whitespace in comment...
* ls: Indicate which initramfs we're looking at / add wiki link
I've rewritten the initramfs-development article to reflect the
changes made in this PR. It will be a good read for someone who
extracted the initramfs and wants to know why we have two files.
* postmarketos-splash: change arch from "all" to "noarch"
* lg-mako: use .tar.gz instead of .zip (because that's the reference
APKBUILD)
* #220: Allow specifying multiple packages for checksum, build,
aportgen
* #239: Add chroot shortcuts (--rootfs and --buildroot)
* Show chroot and command before entering chroot
This enables the busybox syslog implementation, which logs to
/var/log/messages, on boot. This is very helpful for debugging
applications which write to syslog (e.g. NetworkManager)
syslog is being set up to log to shared memory (not to disk), so log is
lost 1) on reboot and 2) if the service is restarted. It can be read
with `logread`
The creates the linux-postmarketos package which for now supports the n900 (and probably the other maemo devices) and qemu with the vexpress-a9 machine simulation.
I've put the generated dtbs in /usr/share/dtb for now and set the dtb field in the deviceinfo for the n900 and my new qemu device.
* Introduced linux-postmarketos-omap
* Unified kernel progress
* Created kernel bootable with qemu
* Updated n900 deviceinfo for generic kernel
* Changed qemu device to vexpress
* Updated APK comments and added linux-postmarketos-dev package
* Append dtb in mkinitfs
* Fixed bootscript on n900 for the generic kernel
* Don't detect double flavors with -dtb appending
* Added graphics drivers for vexpress (qemu)
* Added more drivers for qemu
This adds virtio network support in qemu for the vexpress-a9 machine.
The keyboard and mouse don't work yet.
You can boot into weston if --no-fde is specified
Thanks, craftyguy!
- UI is selectable with `pmbootstrap init`. Currently only 'weston' and 'none' are options. It'll automatically pick up any new `postmarketos-ui-*` packages added at later dates.
- splits off weston packages install from postmarketos-base and puts
them into postmarketos-ui-weston. Also note that NO weston packages are
installed by "pmbootstrap install" by default unless the user selects a ui in the `init`
- configuration of weston is now in postmarketos-ui-weston.
- the demos have been spun off to `postmarketos-demos`, and `postmarketos-ui-weston` lists this package as a dependency.
Thanks, Martijn Braam!
* Made postmarketos-mkinitfs use postmarketos-splash to generate splash images
* Added screen sizes to all deviceinfo files
* Bumped pkgrel for all device packages
100% tested. Assuming that you don't need to test an obvious change,
because it only changes one line is dangerous. I will learn from this,
sorry for the inconvenience.
`gcc-armhf` compiles fine again with that change, and it is able to
cross-compile packages as it used to.
This PR automatically creates the weston.ini in the
postmarketos-base post-install script based on options set in the
deviceinfo file for a particular device. This replaces #191.
If weston.ini exists, then no modifications are made.
(Optional) options supported in this PR for deviceinfo are:
deviceinfo_weston_core_modules - defaults to NONE if none specified
deviceinfo_weston_core_backend - defaults to 'fbdev-backend.so' if none specified
deviceinfo_weston_keymap_rules - keymap rule, found under /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/
deviceinfo_weston_keymap_model - keymap model
* Add HTC Desire (Bravo) device-specific and kernel package
* Enable kernel virtual terminal support
* Add framebuffer and usb configuration in initfs-hook script
* Add udev required kernel options and set correct framebuffer resolution
* Add touchscreen device rules and enabled kernel logs (dmesg)
* Add deviceinfo_flash_offset_base in deviceinfo and update other offsets
This adds a way to handle physical events like keypad slide switch,
screen lock, camera lid, and others. This uses acpid from busybox (I was
wrong about the real acpid package), and anl acpi.map file to map events
to 'scripts'. The scripts are symlinked to /etc/acpi/handler.sh,
automatically by the new post-install script, where
they are handled based on which script was called. This allows for
easily adding whatever is necessary for #178.
If this PR is merged, I will create a new wiki page detailing how others
can use this framework on other devices.
There's an issue with Busybox's acpid, where it is unable to detect new
devices added after the daemon loads. This is the case on the N900,
where openrc starts acpid well before the kernel is done modprobing
drivers (e.g. gpio_keys), so it's necessary to restart the acpid daemon
after some time to 'load' the new devices.
* Fix#145: add deviceinfo_flash_offset_base again
* Add default OFFSET_BASE value in flasher if deviceinfo_flash_offset_base variable is not set
...and set correct default base value in create_bootimg function
Thanks, Pablo Castellano!
* Fixed typo
* Guide user about what are the next steps after flashing kernel and password
* Increased postmarketos-mkinitfs' pkgver and rewording

This enables DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) support in the kernel for
the RX51. This opens up the possibility of using the Weston DRM backend,
which in turn allows for DPMS (I hope) and other cool tricks.
n900:~# glxinfo|head
name of display: :0

direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI

Thanks craftyguy!
This commit adds the acpid daemon. This requires a kernel with NETLINK
support compiled in before daemon will run. acpid will be extremely
helpful for devices that have external buttons which need event
handling. The nokia-rx51 is full of such devices/switched!
This was heavily leveraged from the Arch Linux PKGBUILD, thank you Arch
maintainers/contributors!
