[12:39] ndec, not yet, i'm workin on that [12:42] ogra_: ok. good. do you know what 'format' or output we will be able to generate for a custom board? could i build a rootfs and use that only? [12:42] no, you cant modify the rootfs easily [12:43] you use the pre-created rootfs with your own kernel,dtb and modules dir [12:43] i don't need to modify it, just want to be able to use it with my board. [12:43] right [12:43] http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/snappy/ninjasphere/README [12:44] ah, nice. do these commands work from a container (systemd-nspwan) or chroot? [12:44] i'm working on a scriopt that allows ypou to easily hand over a kernel, dtb, modules dir and uEnv.txt to it which will then spit out a working device tarball that you can use with the process from the README [12:44] well i don't even have uboot on my boards ;-0 [12:46] oh, then it wont work [12:46] we dont have support for other bootloaders yet [12:47] only grub and u-boot [12:47] what do you need from bootloader? [12:47] izt needs to be able to switch the root target back and forth, as well as the storage dir of the kernel and initrd [12:47] for the rollback functionality [12:48] (and upgrades etc etc) [12:48] izt? [12:48] to achieve that it also needs to be able to touch a file and read from another file [12:48] *it [12:48] ;) [12:51] ogra_: can i at least 'get' the rootfs without making an image? [12:53] well [12:54] the whole magic to atually create an image lives inside ubuntu-device-flash [12:54] you can indeed pull the rootfs from systzem-image.ubuntu.com but that wont get you anywhere i fear [12:54] *system-image [12:55] ubuntu-device-flash essantially does all the snappy specific magic when merging rootfs and device tarball [12:56] like the dual partition layout, writable and readonly bits, bootloader setup etc [12:59] does your bootloader support something like uEnv.txt ? [12:59] (and setting/reading variables ... and touching or writing files) [13:05] ogra_: ok. i will try to use the BBB image and see what i can do with it... [13:05] thanks! === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk
