armhf for the Raspberry Pi 4
Jorilx opened this issue · comments
Would it be possible to add support for building an rpi4 image using the armhf architecture? It would allow to use debs directly from Raspbian (such as their rpi-optimized VLC, for example)
It's possible, yes. As I've had several branches that could build one, but I ended up dropping support for it. Mostly because Raspberry Pi OS can already do this, I didn't feel like supporting the kernel anymore and it involved extra scripting.
The legacy branch can still build one, although I haven't tested it in a long time. It might be broke somewhere?
Is this something people are actually interested in? When considering the official OS is available and already very well supported.
Well I'd like to build a Devuan armhf image, without systemd :D
I see... I'll look into it and let you know. Give me some time and just leave the issue open.
Thanx!
Great! Many thanks for your time!!
I haven't had a chance to test everything, but Debian, Devuan and Ubuntu appear to be building fine. Take note that 'make helper' 'fetch' and 'docker' are currently not supported.
git clone -b armhf https://github.com/pyavitz/rpi-img-builder.git
Wonderful, I'll try it in a few hours, many thanks again :)
I can confirm that the image is working, thanks a lot!
You are very welcome.
