This adds flasher support for uuu, a utility used by NXP devices for
flashing images.
The flasher expects a uuu command list script to be installed in the
device rootfs at /usr/share/uuu/flash_script.lst.
It is dangerous to flash the boot partition on the Ouya. Doing so can
result in a bricked device. Allow deviceinfo to blacklist partitions from
ever being flashed.
Allow changing the kernel partition for fastboot and heimdall in
deviceinfo and on the fly while doing "pmbootstrap flasher
flash_kernel". Also allow changing the partition for
"... flash_rootfs" with fastboot (this was only possible with
heimdall so far).
Introduce two new deviceinfo variables:
* flash_fastboot_partition_kernel
* flash_fastboot_partition_system
This is useful for devices with dual partitioning that have boot_a
and boot_b.
Follow-up to !1373, where `pmbootstrap flasher flash_system` was
replaced with `pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs`. We still had used
terms like "system partition" in a lot of places.
This commit replaces it everywhere, so it's clear that we're talking
about the pmOS rootfs (which may or may not be installed to Android's
system partition).
This makes the flasher work when no flash_method attribute exists on
the args variable, which happens when it is invoked through the
pmbootstrap export --odin command. This is a regression introduced
in b29cc877a7
This fixes#1527
* Change `pmbootstrap flasher flash_system` command to
`pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs`
* The old command still works, but all references have been changed to
the new command
* Remove obsolete `pmbootstrap flasher export` (that was changed to
`pmbootstrap export` a few months ago)
* Update `README.md` and ZSH auto completion
* Change the description of the generated rootfs image (not talking
about a system image anymore, mention that it has subpartitions)
* Better description of `pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition`
* Rename deviceinfo variable flash_methods to flash_method
* Update pmb.config.deviceinfo_attributes / add sanity check
* Add test case that parses all deviceinfo files
This adds a new deviceinfo 'flash_fastboot_max_size' used for
preventing fastboot from flashing a system partition that is too
large. Some devices do not support flashing over a certain size
(e.g. 500MB).
* Allow to specify a custom username in "pmbootstrap init"
* Build chroots have "pmos" instead of "user" as username now
* Installation user UID is 1000 now (as in all other Linux distributions)
* Adjust autologins
* postmarketos-base: enable wheel group for sudo, removed previous sudoers file
* Implement safe upgrade path:
We save the version of the work folder format now, in $WORK/version.
When this file does not exist, it defaults to 0.
In case it does not match the currently required version
(pmb.config.work_version), then ask the user if it should
automatically be upgraded.
* Check kernel config
* Allow specifying multiple kernel packages, and also no packages
which defaults to scanning all kernel configs (it is super fast
anyway)
* Add the check to Travis CI
* Adjust existing kernel configs, so they pass the kconfig_check.
(We've had to put in a lot of defaults in the aarch64
linux-postmarketos configs, that's why the diff is a bit unclean.)
* Increase modified kernel pkgrels
* moved export code to pmb/export and split it up
* added deprecation notice to "pmbootstrap flasher export"
* made "pmbootstrap export" work
* adjusted the "pmbootstrap flasher export" hints in the code
* Quote architecture in logging message for easier reading
* Added shortcut arguments for --rootfs, --buildroot and --suffix
* Simply remove beforehand link to nowhere if exists (fix#278)
Fixed crash when symlink already existed but pointed to a non-existing location
* Various improvements for 'pmbootstrap export' (Fix#232)
* Do not try to generate the system image, but print a notice that
it was not generated yet
* Display export path
* New default path: /tmp/postmarketOS-export (instead of current
working dir)
* Create the export folder, if it does not exist yet
* Prettier output in the export message
* Adjust export message in install for consistency
* 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
Changes requested:
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/179
This properly exports the uImage kernel, which is used by u-boot, when
running 'flasher export'. Note the change to the uImage name to follow
the pattern "uImage-$flavor", which in the case of the RX 51 is
"uImage-nokia-rx51".
* allows to build/extract/list initramfs, add/del hook
* rebuild the initfs whenever running install or trying to flash/boot it
* flasher flash/boot: automatically set up a minimal rootfs with kernel and initfs,
if it does not exist yet
