PureOS on ARM SBCs
u-boot
U-boot has a standard for booting distributions. The easiest way to configure your distribution to boot with u-boot is to create an extlinux.conf configuration file as explaned below. U-boot will then look for it in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf (and probably /extlinux/extlinux.conf too) on each partition that it can access.
How to install PureOS on an arm64 SBC
# qemu-img create -f raw storage.img 2G # fdisk storage.img # create 1 partition # udisksctl loop-setup -f storage.img # mkdir rootfs # mkfs.ext4 -O ^metadata_csum -O ^64bit /dev/loop0p1 # mount /dev/loop0p1 rootfs # mkdir -p rootfs/usr/bin # debootstrap --foreign --arch arm64 amber rootfs https://repo.puri.sm/pureos # cp /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static rootfs/usr/bin # LANG=C.UTF-8 chroot rootfs qemu-aarch64-static /bin/bash # export TERM=xterm-color # /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
You then need to create the extlinux.conf file in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf with the following content:
menu title Welcome to U-Boot with Extlinux support! timeout 10 label PureOS GNU/Linux-libre, linux-libre kernel kernel /vmlinuz append loglevel=8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw fdtdir /usr/lib/linux-image-5.2.0-3-arm64/ initrd /initrd.img
TODO
- Add a symlink for /usr/lib/linux-image-5.2.0-3-arm64/ to /ftddir or something like that in Debian and backport it to FSDG distributions that support architecture with devicetree like PureOS
