Introduction

This project creates a filesystem image for a Raspberry Pi3 or Pi2 from a recent Raspbian upstream image. You can download an already-built system image for various SBCs at https://bluehorizon.network.

• horizon-pkg (http://github.com/open-horizon/horizon-pkg): A system for packaging Horizon system debs for multiple distributions and architectures. It also produces Ubuntu snaps

Operations

Create SD card image

Preconditions

• Execution on an armhf device (often we build on Odroid XU4 or Odroid C2 SBCs)
• You must have the following Linux modules loaded:
  • dm_multipath
• You must have the following tools available (among common GNU tools):
  • kpartx
  • parted
  • zip
  • unzip
  • wget

Steps

• Execute make pi3-sd-image to make an official, Pi3-only image or make pi2-sd-image to make a Pi2 image. The resulting image will be written to /mnt/extra. If you'd like to change the output location, execute make pi3-sd-image IMAGE_OUTPUT_DIR=/tmp/.
