Raspberry Pi Image Generator Scripts

Generates debian armhf, armel, and arm64 for all Raspberry Pi models

Requirements:

• ~3 GB of disk space and a Debian (or derivitive - eg. Ubuntu) host

Run (on host):

• sudo apt-get install binfmt-support qemu qemu-user-static debootstrap kpartx lvm2 dosfstools
• sudo ./build_image.sh
• Use dd if=debianXX.img of=/dev/mmcblkXX to flash to sdcard (adjust command to your setup)

build_image.sh Usage:
 -a | --arch : Build architecture of Raspberry Pi (armel, armhf, or arm64)
 -m | --model : Raspberry Pi Version (rpi1, rpi2, rpi3, rpi0, or rpi4)
 -r | --release : Debian version to use (buster is the oldest for arm64 support and wheezy for armel/armhf) (no support for bullseye yet)

Supports:

• All basic hardware features (HDMI, audio, analog video, etc.)
• Pi bluetooth and wifi, 4gb ram on rpi4 (8gb should work but I cannot test this)
• raspberrypi vc libs
• GPIO pins (you have to install RPI.GPIO to address them in python)

On raspberry pi:

• Login as root:raspberry or pi:raspberry
• Run raspi-config as root to expand rootfs to full sdcard
• Setup as any other linux system
• openssh-server is pre-installed but you have to connect it to the network
• Install a GUI (optional) using apt-get install xinit lightdm mate-desktop-environment-core
