arm-sdk is simple distro build system aimed at embedded ARM devices. It was first conceived as a component of the Devuan SDK, but now it aims to support multiple Linux distributions.
arm-sdk is designed to be used interactively from a terminal, as well as from shell scripts. It requires the following packages to be installed, as well as libdevuansdk dependencies:
curl git wget qemu-user-static build-essential rsync gcc-arm-none-eabi gcc-multilib lib32z1 u-boot-tools device-tree-compiler lzop dosfstools vboot-utils vboot-kernel-utils libftdi-dev libfdt-dev swig libpython-dev bc
net-misc/curl net-misc/wget sys-boot/vboot-utils app-emulation/qemu(static-user) net-misc/rsync sys-libs/zlib dev-embedded/u-boot-tools sys-apps/dtc app-arch/lzop sys-fs/dosfstools
sudo
permissions are required for the user that is running the build.
By executing init.sh
which is found in the base directory of arm-sdk, it
will initialize all git submodules and gcc toolchains that are needed for
arm-sdk to properly function.
Do it with:
; ./init.sh
Edit the config
file to match your crosscompile toolchain. init.sh
will
provide you with precompiled ones. Then run zsh. In case you have conflicting
extensions on your zsh configuration, safest way would be to run a vanilla one,
using:
; zsh -f
then step inside the sdk, "source" it:
; cd arm-sdk && source sdk
Now is the time you choose the device and OS you want to build the image for.

Once initialized, you can run the helper command:
; build_image_dist
The image will automatically be build for you. Once finished, you will be
able to find it in the dist/
directory in arm-sdk's root.

directory.
Devuan's SDK was originally conceived during a period of residency at the Schumacher college in Dartington, UK. Greatly inspired by the laborious and mindful atmosphere of its wonderful premises.
