Build Requirements

• git
• binfmt_misc kernel module loaded
• qemu-arm-static
• deboostrap
• kpartx
• mkfs.vfat
• mkfs.ext4
• dmsetup
• raspbian archive key installed

On Debian and derivatives:

wget http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian.public.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -

Building

To generate an image, run the build.sh script as root:

$ sudo ./build.sh

There are some environment variables that you can set to customize the build:

IMAGESIZE

Target size for the image in MB (default: 2000)

BOOTSIZE

Size of the /boot partition in MB (default: 64)

DEB_RELEASE

Target Raspbian release, can be stable, testing or unstable (default: stable)

DEFAULT_DEB_MIRROR

Repository URL to grab packages from (default: http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian)

USE_LOCAL_MIRROR

For use with apt-cacher-ng, can be true or false (default: false)

SSH_KEY

Public key to enable SSH Login for (default: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)

DEBUG

Drop into a chroot shell after the image has finished building (default: false)

FROM_TARBALL

Path to a spreads tarball created by python setup.py sdist. If unset, install from Raspbian packages.

The image will generate a rasbpian image with up-to-date packages and spreads pre-installed and pre-configured (for use with Canon A2200 cameras running CHDK). On the first boot, the image will resize itself to fill all of the remaining space on the SD-Card and reboot shortly thereafter. Spreads will be automatically launched on startup. Make sure that your devices are turned on before the boot has finished.

Login accounts:

• root:raspberry
• spreads:spreads

The spreads user is allowed to run all commands with superuser privileges through sudo.
