How To Make a Fedora Image on an ARM Host(Arndale)
ARM host Hardware Requirements
RAM >= 2GB
SSD (for swap and storage)
So we will use Arndale board(running F17) and ADATA SP900 128G SSD to make F18 image in this Wiki.
Deloying a Fedora 17 on Arndale
Decompression the file and Flash the image to SD card:
$ sudo dd if=F17-arndale-201304221157.img of=${DEV}
Flash u-boot to SD card:
$ wget http://tekkamanninja.fedorapeople.org/boards/arndale/u-boot/arndale-bl1.bin $ wget http://tekkamanninja.fedorapeople.org/boards/arndale/u-boot/smdk5250-spl.bin $ wget http://tekkamanninja.fedorapeople.org/boards/arndale/u-boot/u-boot.bin $ sudo dd if=arndale-bl1.bin of=${DEV} bs=512 seek=1 $ sudo dd if=smdk5250-spl.bin of=${DEV} bs=512 seek=17 $ sudo dd if=u-boot.bin of=${DEV} bs=512 seek=49 $ sync
where ${DEV} can be /dev/mmcblkN
or /dev/sdN
.
Then insert the SD card into the Arndale and boot.
Attach a SSD to ARM host
We need a SSD for bigger swap and storage.
Format SSD into two partitions like below :
[root@arndale-f17-v7hl fuwei]# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 128.0 GB, 128035676160 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 15566 cylinders, total 250069680 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x6fea5476
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 2048 8390655 4194304 83 Linux /dev/sda2 8390656 250069679 120839512 83 Linux
format 4BG swap partition and mount it
# mkswap /dev/sda1 # swapon /dev/sda1 # swapoff /dev/mmcblk1p2 # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2062708 73120 1989588 0 3180 21252 -/+ buffers/cache: 48688 2014020 Swap: 4194300 0 4194300
format another partition and mount it as Extended Storage(ES)
# mkfs.ext4 -L "es" /dev/sda2 # mount /dev/sda2 /es/
make directory structure on Extended Storage(ES)
[root@arndale-f17-v7hl /]# tree /es/ /es/ ├── lost+found └── scratch └── fuwei ├── arndale │ ├── F18 │ │ ├── images │ │ └── kickstarts │ └── u-boot └── scripts
Install anaconda and lorax
For making image on ARM host, we need to install the 'patched' versions of anaconda and lorax from xpfa.
# yum --nogpgcheck install http://dmarlin.fedorapeople.org/packages/FedoraArm/RPMS/noarch/xpfa-17-1.2.noarch.rpm # yum --enablerepo=xpfa install anaconda lorax
Get a kickstart file
You can download a example kickstart file from [17 kickstart file for Arndale Board]
This kickstart file can make a F18 image in F17 ARM host for Arndale Board.
Put it to /es/scratch/fuwei/arndale/F18/kickstarts/
Building image using livemedia-creator
The shell script for making image is below:
#!/bin/sh
BUILD_TIME=date +%Y%m%d%H%M
livemedia-creator \
--no-virt --make-disk \
--armplatform=None \
--tmp=/es/scratch/fuwei/arndale/F18/images/ \
--image-name=F18-arndale-${BUILD_TIME}.img \
--ks=/es/scratch/fuwei/arndale/F18/kickstarts/F18-arndale-console_in_f17.ks
Put it into /es/scratch/fuwei/scripts, add execute permission and execute it.
Note: If you met any error in build procedure. you had better to reboot the board and execute "anaconda-cleanup", then try again.
