Other information:

• Firmware source: firmware, bluez-firmware, firmware-nonfree

How to Use image

Refer to Install openEuler on an SD card and How to use Raspberry Pi for details about how to use the image on Raspberry Pi.

How to build image locally

Prepare the environment

To build openEuler AArch64 image for Raspberry Pi, the requirements of running scripts of this repository are as follows:

• OS: openEuler or CentOS 7/8
• Hardware: AArch64 hardware, such as Raspberry Pi

For other architecture hardware, you can use QEMU to build AArch64 system emulation.

Run the scripts to build image

Refer to Script for building openEuler image for Raspberry Pi for details.

Quickly Build without kernel compilation(Recommended)

NOTICE:
Most openEuler versions are currently supported, i.e., 20.09, 20.03 LTS SP1, 21.03, 20.03 LTS SP2, 21.09, 20.03 LTS SP3, 22.03 LTS, 22.09, 22.03 LTS SP1 and 23.03. When building an image with Xfce/UKUI/DDE desktop environment, you need to pay attention to three issues:

1. For building an image with Xfce desktop environment, note that only openEuler 21.03, 20.03 LTS SP2, 21.09, 20.03 LTS SP3, 22.03 LTS, 22.09, 22.03 LTS SP1 and 23.03 are currently supported.
2. For building an image with DDE desktop environment, note that only openEuler 20.03 LTS SP1, 21.03, 20.03 LTS SP2, 21.09, 20.03 LTS SP3, 22.03 LTS, 22.09, 22.03 LTS SP1 and 23.03 are currently supported.
3. Need to set the parameter -s/--spec. Please refer to the description of this parameter for details.

Build images with packages of raspberrypi-kernel, raspberrypi-firmware, and raspberrypi-bluetooth.

Run the following command to build an image:

sudo bash build-image.sh -d DIR -r REPO -n IMAGE_NAME -s SPEC

The meaning of each parameter:

1. -d, --dir DIR

   The directory for storing the image and other temporary files, which defaults to be the directory in which the script resides. If the DIR does not exist, it will be created automatically.

   After building the image, you can find the image in DIR/raspi_output/img/ as shown in the script output.

2. -r, --repo REPO_INFO

   The URL/path of target repo file, or the list of repositories' baseurls. Note that, the baseurls should be separated by space and enclosed in double quotes.

   Examples are as follows:

   • The URL of target repo file: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/openEuler-repos/raw/openEuler-21.03/generic.repo.
   • The path of target repo file:
     • ./openEuler-21.03.repo: for building openEuler 21.03 image, refer to https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/openEuler-repos/blob/openEuler-21.03/generic.repo for details.
   • List of repo's baseurls: "http://repo.openeuler.org/openEuler-21.03/OS/aarch64/ http://repo.openeuler.org/openEuler-21.03/EPOL/aarch64/".

3. -n, --name IMAGE_NAME

   The image name to be built.

   For example, openEuler-21.03.img. The default is openEuler-raspi-aarch64.img, or it is automatically generated based on parameter: -n, --name IMAGE_NAME.

4. -s, --spec SPEC

   Specify the image version:

   • headless, image without desktop environments.
   • xfce, image with Xfce desktop environment and related software including CJK fonts and IME.
   • ukui, image with UKUI desktop environment and fundamental software without CJK fonts and IME.
   • dde, image with DDE desktop environment and fundamental software without CJK fonts and IME.
   • The file path of rpmlist, the file contains a list of the software to be installed in the image, refer to rpmlist for details.

   The default is headless.

5. -h, --help

   Display help information.

Build with kernel compilation

Here, we provide two approaches to build an image, which both include compiling kernel and downloading firmware files of Raspberry Pi. These approaches will take considerably longer.

Build on host

Run the following command to build an image:

sudo bash build-image-common.sh -n IMAGE_NAME -k KERNEL_URL -b KERNEL_BRANCH -c KERNEL_DEFCONFIG -r REPO -s SPEC --cores N

The meaning of each parameter:

1. -n, --name IMAGE_NAME

   The image name to be built.

   For example, openEuler-20.03-LTS-SP1.img. The default is openEuler-raspi-aarch64.img, or it is automatically generated based on parameter: -n, --name IMAGE_NAME.

2. -k, --kernel KERNEL_URL

   The URL of kernel source repository, which defaults to https://gitee.com/openeuler/raspberrypi-kernel.git. You can set the parameter as git@gitee.com:openeuler/raspberrypi-kernel.git or git@gitee.com:openeuler/kernel.git according to the requirement.

3. -b, --branch KERNEL_BRANCH

   The branch name of kernel source repository, which defaults to openEuler-20.03-LTS. openEuler-21.09, openEuler-20.03-LTS or openEuler-20.09 is recommended.

4. -c, --config KERNEL_DEFCONFIG

   The filename/path of configuration for compiling kernel, which defaults to openeuler-raspi_defconfig. If this parameter is the filename of configuration, please make sure the configuration file in arch/arm64/configs of the kernel source.

5. -r, --repo REPO_INFO

   The URL/path of target repo file, or the list of repositories' baseurls. Note that, the baseurls should be separated by space and enclosed in double quotes.

Build in a Docker container

Run the following command to build an image:

sudo bash build-image-docker.sh -d DOCKER_FILE -n IMAGE_NAME -k KERNEL_URL -b KERNEL_BRANCH -c KERNEL_DEFCONFIG -r REPO --cores N

After building the image, you can find the image in raspi_output_common/img/ of the directory in which the script resides.

Caution, before running the script, you need to install Docker. The script will automatically import the Docker image into the local system according to the script's parameter: DOCKER_FILE.

In addition to the parameter DOCKER_FILE, the other parameters are the same as the corresponding parameters in Build on host:

1. -d, --docker DOCKER_FILE

   The URL/path of the Docker image, which defaults to https://repo.openeuler.org/openEuler-20.03-LTS-SP1/docker_img/aarch64/openEuler-docker.aarch64.tar.xz. With the default parameter, the script will automatically download the Docker image of openEuler 20.03 LTS SP1 and import it into the local system.
