How to test build using Aboriginal Linux system images.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Put a source tree into hdc.dir/.
|
||
|
|
For example, this should work:
|
||
|
|
git clone git://busybox.net/var/lib/git/busybox.git
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Run ./make-hdc-img.sh: it will generate ext2 image file,
|
||
|
|
hdc.img, from hdc.dir/* data. This requires root for loop mount.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Download and unpack, or build from source and unpack
|
||
|
|
one or more system-image-ARCH directories into this directory
|
||
|
|
(the one which contains this README).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Run: ./parallel-build-hdc-img.sh system-image-DIR1 system-image-DIR2...
|
||
|
|
(background it if you don't want to see "Waiting to finish" thing).
|
||
|
|
This runs build in several qemu virtual machines in parallel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Observe system-image-*.log file(s) with growing log of the build.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is no automated detection of errors for now: you need to examine
|
||
|
|
logs yourself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Log files will also contain uuencoded (or if all else fails, od -tx1'ed)
|
||
|
|
binary, if build was successful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To debug a build problem in one of the sandboxes, change keep_hdb
|
||
|
|
to "keep_hdb=true" in parallel-build-hdc-img.sh
|
||
|
|
- this preserves system-image-ARCH/hdb.img after the build,
|
||
|
|
so you can go into system-image-ARCH and run
|
||
|
|
"HDB=hdb.img ./dev-environment.sh" to debug the problem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also run "./parallel-build-hdc-img.sh -s system-image-ARCH"
|
||
|
|
- single mode, output is to screen and serial input is from keyboard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If hdc.dir/bin/busybox-$ARCH exists, it will be used during build
|
||
|
|
to supply additional tools.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For me, the following system images worked:
|
||
|
|
system-image-armv4l
|
||
|
|
system-image-armv4tl
|
||
|
|
system-image-armv5l
|
||
|
|
od is buggy on arm*:
|
||
|
|
# echo Hello-hello-hello-hello | od -b
|
||
|
|
0000000 110 145 154 154 157 055 150 145 154 154 157 055 150 145 154 154
|
||
|
|
0000000 157 055 150 145 154 154 157 012
|
||
|
|
0000000
|
||
|
|
system-image-i686
|
||
|
|
system-image-mips
|
||
|
|
system-image-mipsel
|
||
|
|
od is buggy on mips[el]:
|
||
|
|
# echo Hello-hello-hello-hello | od -b
|
||
|
|
0000000 110 145 154 154 157 055 150 145 154 154 157 055 150 145 154 154
|
||
|
|
17767153361 157 055 150 145 154 154 157 012
|
||
|
|
0000000
|
||
|
|
system-image-x86_64
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And these did not:
|
||
|
|
system-image-armv6l - hang on "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel"
|
||
|
|
system-image-powerpc - hang early in kernel boot
|
||
|
|
system-image-sparc - hang early in userspace
|
||
|
|
system-image-m68k - my qemu doesn't like "-M q800"
|
||
|
|
system-image-mips64 - init dies "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000a"
|
||
|
|
system-image-sh4 - qemu segfaults early in kernel boot
