This repository contains scripts and files to generate a MfgTool archive which can be used to flash a minimal Debian bullseye on a smartmini type device. Additonally this repository also holds information for the installation, usage and configuration of the a Debian system on the devices.
This page functions as a getting started guide. For further instructions
for sepcific configuration and use issues of hardware and software components, refer
to the pages inside the doc subdirectory.
After starting up your device, connect the device via ethernet directly to your host. The standard configuration for the devices for the ip address is:
10.20.30.40/24
Inital credentials of the image:
General user account:
username: user
password: user
Credentials for superuser:
password: toor
You will need to configure your hosts ethernet interface, that is connected to your smartDevice. The should be configured with an address in the same subnet of the above mentioned address, in order to communicate with the device.
TBD...
To build a MFGTool archive which you can use in order to reset your device to factory settings, you can use this repository to generate your own MfgTool.
You may skip this section for the time if you only whish to work and develop on your Debian smartDevice.
At the moment the images will be built for the following platforms:
- smartRAIL v1/v2
- smartMINI v2
These packages need to be installed and updated on your debian bullseye host in order to be able to use the tools in this repository:
sudo apt install bison flex bc lzop gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf vmdb2 dosfstools \
qemu-user-static binfmt-support time kpartx bmap-tools u-boot-tools
To generate a MfgTool archive for a smartRAIL aswell for an smartMINI execute the script:
./buildall.py
The generated compressed archives of the MfgTool can be found under output/build-<recent timestamp>/mfg/.
Refer to doc/flashSmartDevice.md if you require a step-by-step description for the flash process with the
MfgTool.
