Check kernel config options based on the architecture (#1233)

Alexander authored 7 years ago

The 'necessary_kconfig_options' dictionary in pmb/config/__init__.py
now has the different architectures (space separated) as the keys and
the dictionary, which matches kernel config options and their
expected value, as its value.
For that purpose, the 'check' function in pmb/parse/kconfig.py was
modified, so that it takes the architecture from the kconfig filename
and uses it to find the needed kernel config options.
Closes #1218.

Introduction | Security Warning | Supported Devices | |

Sophisticated chroot/build/flash tool to develop and install postmarketOS.

For in-depth information please refer to the postmarketOS wiki.

Requirements

2 GB of RAM recommended for compiling
Linux distribution (x86_64 or aarch64)
- Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL) does not work! Please use VirtualBox instead.
- Kernels based on the grsec patchset do not work (Alpine: use linux-vanilla instead of linux-hardened, Arch: linux-hardened is not based on grsec)
- On Alpine Linux only: apk add coreutils
Python 3.4+
OpenSSL

Usage

Assuming you have a supported device, you can build and flash a postmarketOS image by running through the following steps. For new devices check the porting guide.

First, clone the git repository and initialize your pmbootstrap environment:

$ git clone https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap
$ cd pmbootstrap
$ ./pmbootstrap.py init

While running any pmbootstrap command, it's always useful to have a log open in a separate window where further details can be seen:

$ ./pmbootstrap.py log

It's now time to run a full build which will create the boot and system images:

$ ./pmbootstrap.py install

Once your device is connected and is ready to be flashed (e.g. via fastboot), you can run a flash of the kernel (boot) and system partitions:

$ ./pmbootstrap.py flasher flash_kernel
$ ./pmbootstrap.py flasher flash_system

After a reboot, the device will prompt for the full-disk encryption password, which you typed in the install step (unless you have disabled full-disk encryption with --no-fde). Once the partition has been unlocked it is possible to connect via SSH:

$ dhclient -v enp0s20f0u1
$ ssh user@172.16.42.1

Development

Testing

Install pytest (via your package manager or pip) and run it inside the pmbootstrap folder.
