## Option 1: Downloading an image
|
||||
|
||||
See https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi3#Preview_image for where to obtain the latest pre-built image.

## Option 2: Building your own image
|

|

If you prefer, you can build a Debian buster Raspberry Pi 3 image
|
||||
If you prefer, you can build a Debian buster Raspberry Pi image
|
||||
yourself. If you are reading this document online, you should first
|
||||
clone this repository:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Debian/raspi3-image-spec
|
||||
cd raspi3-image-spec
|
||||
git clone --recursive https://salsa.debian.org/raspi-team/image-specs.git
|
||||
cd image-specs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For this you will first need to install `vmdb2`. As of July 2018, this
|
||||
repository still ships vmdb2, but will probably be deprecated in the
|
||||
future. You can choose:
|
||||
For this you will first need to install the `vmdb2` package, on a
|
||||
Debian Buster or higher system.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- - `vmdb2` is available as a package for Testing and Unstable. If your -->
|
||||
<!-- Debian system is either, quite probably installing it systemwide is -->
|
||||
<!-- the easiest and most recommended way. -->
|
||||
- `vmdb2` is available as a package for Debian Testing and
|
||||
Unstable. However, we require at least [one
|
||||
feature](http://git.liw.fi/vmdb2/commit/?id=474cd53826fda5a571cca8b5dda7cf949291dd62)
|
||||
that has not been included in any of the releases uploaded to
|
||||
Debian.
|
||||
The recipes for building the images are:
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore, `vmdb2` is presented as a submodule in this
|
||||
project. First install the
|
||||
[requirements](http://git.liw.fi/vmdb2/tree/README) of `vmdb2`:
|
||||
- [raspi0w.yaml](raspi0w.yaml) for Raspberry Pi 0 and 0w. We believe
|
||||
(but have not tested) it should also work on the 1 models.
|
||||
- [raspi2.yaml](raspi2.yaml) for Raspberry Pi 2.
|
||||
- [raspi3.yaml](raspi3.yaml) for all of the Raspberry Pi 3 models.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
apt install kpartx parted qemu-utils qemu-user-static python3-cliapp \
|
||||
python3-jinja2 python3-yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
You can edit them to customize the built image. Although it could
|
||||
(should!) be better documented,
|
||||
[http://git.liw.fi/vmdb2/tree/README](vmdb2)'s format is very easy to
|
||||
understand.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that `python3-cliapp` is not available in Stretch, but as it
|
||||
does not carry any dependencies, can be manually installed by
|
||||
[fetching its .deb package ](https://packages.debian.org/buster/python3-cliapp)
|
||||
and installing it manually.
|
||||
|
||||
Then edit [raspi3.yaml](raspi3.yaml) to select the Debian repository that you
|
||||
want to use:
|
||||
|
||||
- The images now build correctly with the main repository! If you want
|
||||
to build your image following the regular Testing (*buster*)
|
||||
distribution, leave `raspi3.yaml` as it is
|
||||
- Stable (*stretch*) is not supported, as we require linux ≥ 4.14
|
||||
and raspi3-firmware ≥ 1.20171201-1.
|
||||
|
||||
- Testing is, however, constantly changing. You might want to choose a
|
||||
specific point in its history to build with. To do this, locate the
|
||||
line with `qemu-debootstrap: buster` in `raspi3.yaml`. Change
|
||||
`mirror: http://deb.debian.org/debian` to a known-good point in
|
||||
time. One such point can be `mirror:
|
||||
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20181204T164956Z/ `.
|
||||
- Due to a
|
||||
[missing feature](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=763419)
|
||||
on snapshots, to make the build work, you have to disable an
|
||||
expiration check by APT. To do so, edit raspi3.yaml to replace
|
||||
all `apt-get` invocations with `apt-get -o
|
||||
Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false`
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have edited raspi3.yaml, you can generate the image by
|
||||
issuing the following:
|
||||
Once you have edited the recipe for your hardware, you can generate
|
||||
the image by issuing the following (as root):
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
umask 022
|
||||
sudo env -i LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 PATH="/usr/sbin:/sbin:$PATH" \
|
||||
./vmdb2/vmdb2 --rootfs-tarball=raspi3.tar.gz --output \
|
||||
raspi3.img raspi3.yaml --log raspi3.log
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing the image onto the Raspberry Pi 3
|
||||
Of course, substituting `raspi3` with the actual flavor you need.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing the image onto the Raspberry Pi
|
||||
|
||||
Plug an SD card which you would like to entirely overwrite into your SD card reader.
|
||||
|
||||
Assuming your SD card reader provides the device `/dev/sdb`
|
||||
Assuming your SD card reader provides the device `/dev/mmcblk0`
|
||||
(**Beware** If you choose the wrong device, you might overwrite
|
||||
important parts of your system. Double check it's the correct
|
||||
device!), copy the image onto the SD card:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo dd if=raspi3.img of=/dev/sdb bs=64k oflag=dsync status=progress
|
||||
sudo dd if=raspi3.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=64k oflag=dsync status=progress
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, plug the SD card into the Raspberry Pi 3 and power it up.
|
||||
Then, plug the SD card into the Raspberry Pi, and power it up.
|
||||
|
||||
The image uses the hostname `rpi3`, so assuming your local network
|
||||
correctly resolves hostnames communicated via DHCP, you can log into
|
||||
your Raspberry Pi 3 once it booted:
|
||||
The image uses the hostname `rpi0w`, `rpi2` or `rpi3` depending on the
|
||||
target build, so assuming your local network correctly resolves
|
||||
hostnames communicated via DHCP, you can log into your Raspberry Pi
|
||||
once it booted:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
ssh root@rpi3
