rpi23-gen-image
Introduction
rpi23-gen-image.sh is an advanced Debian Linux bootstrapping shell script for generating Debian OS images for all Raspberry Pi computers. The script at this time supports the bootstrapping of the Debian (armhf/armel) releases stretch and buster. Raspberry Pi 0/1/2/3/4 images are generated for 32-bit mode only. Raspberry Pi 3 supports 64-bit images that can be generated using custom configuration parameters (templates/rpi3-stretch-arm64-4.14.y).
Build dependencies
The following list of Debian packages must be installed on the build system because they are essentially required for the bootstrapping process. The script will check if all required packages are installed and missing packages will be installed automatically if confirmed by the user.
debootstrap debian-archive-keyring qemu-user-static binfmt-support dosfstools rsync bmap-tools whois git bc psmisc dbus sudo
It is recommended to configure the rpi23-gen-image.sh script to build and install the latest Raspberry Pi Linux kernel. For the Raspberry 3 this is mandatory. Kernel compilation and linking will be performed on the build system using an ARM (armhf/armel/aarch64) cross-compiler toolchain.
The script has been tested using the default crossbuild-essential-armhf and crossbuild-essential-armel toolchain meta packages on Debian Linux stretch build systems. Please check the Debian CrossToolchains Wiki for further information.
Command-line parameters
The script accepts certain command-line parameters to enable or disable specific OS features, services and configuration settings. These parameters are passed to the rpi23-gen-image.sh script via (simple) shell-variables. Unlike environment shell-variables (simple) shell-variables are defined at the beginning of the command-line call of the rpi23-gen-image.sh script.
Command-line examples:
ENABLE_UBOOT=true ./rpi23-gen-image.sh ENABLE_CONSOLE=false ENABLE_IPV6=false ./rpi23-gen-image.sh ENABLE_WM=xfce4 ENABLE_FBTURBO=true ENABLE_MINBASE=true ./rpi23-gen-image.sh ENABLE_HARDNET=true ENABLE_IPTABLES=true /rpi23-gen-image.sh APT_SERVER=ftp.de.debian.org APT_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:3142/" ./rpi23-gen-image.sh ENABLE_MINBASE=true ./rpi23-gen-image.sh BUILD_KERNEL=true ENABLE_MINBASE=true ENABLE_IPV6=false ./rpi23-gen-image.sh BUILD_KERNEL=true KERNELSRC_DIR=/tmp/linux ./rpi23-gen-image.sh ENABLE_MINBASE=true ENABLE_REDUCE=true ENABLE_MINGPU=true BUILD_KERNEL=true ./rpi23-gen-image.sh ENABLE_CRYPTFS=true CRYPTFS_PASSWORD=changeme EXPANDROOT=false ENABLE_MINBASE=true ENABLE_REDUCE=true ENABLE_MINGPU=true BUILD_KERNEL=true ./rpi23-gen-image.sh RELEASE=buster BUILD_KERNEL=true ./rpi23-gen-image.sh RPI_MODEL=3 ENABLE_WIRELESS=true ENABLE_MINBASE=true BUILD_KERNEL=true ./rpi23-gen-image.sh RELEASE=buster RPI_MODEL=3 ENABLE_WIRELESS=true ENABLE_MINBASE=true BUILD_KERNEL=true ./rpi23-gen-image.sh
Configuration template files
To avoid long lists of command-line parameters and to help to store the favourite parameter configurations the rpi23-gen-image.sh script supports so called configuration template files (CONFIG_TEMPLATE=template). These are simple text files located in the ./templates directory that contain the list of configuration parameters that will be used. New configuration template files can be added to the ./templates directory.
Command-line examples:
CONFIG_TEMPLATE=rpi3stretch ./rpi23-gen-image.sh CONFIG_TEMPLATE=rpi2stretch ./rpi23-gen-image.sh
Working with the your template:
- A Pipe ("|") represents a logical OR
- A valuetype of boolean represents the options true or false
- Values without a default are required if you want do use that feature. It is possible that not every feature has a (working) sanity check.
- If it's not working as expected, search your option in all the files in this repository (With e.g.grep or notepad++).
- Check if your missing a required option while looking at the code
Supported parameters and settings
APT settings:
| Option | Value | default value | value format | desciption |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APT_SERVER | string | ftp.debian.org | URL |
Set Debian packages server address. Choose a server from the list of Debian worldwide mirror sites. Using a nearby server will probably speed-up all required downloads within the bootstrapping process. |
| APT_PROXY | string | URL |
Set Proxy server address. Using a local Proxy-Cache like apt-cacher-ng will speed-up the bootstrapping process because all required Debian packages will only be downloaded from the Debian mirror site once. If apt-cacher-ng is running on default http://127.0.0.1:3142 it is autodetected and you don't need to set this. |
|
| KEEP_APT_PROXY | boolean | false | true|false |
true=Keep the APT_PROXY settings used in the bootsrapping process in the generated image |
| APT_INCLUDES | string list | packageA,packageB,... |
A comma-separated list of additional packages to be installed by debootstrap during bootstrapping. | |
| APT_INCLUDES_LATE | string list | packageA,packageB,... |
A comma-separated list of additional packages to be installed by apt after bootstrapping and after APT sources are set up. This is useful for packages with pre-depends, which debootstrap do not handle well. | |

Understanding the script
The functions of this script that are required for the different stages of the bootstrapping are split up into single files located inside the bootstrap.d directory. During the bootstrapping every script in this directory gets executed in lexicographical order:
| Script | Description |
|---|---|
10-bootstrap.sh |
Debootstrap basic system |
11-apt.sh |
Setup APT repositories |
12-locale.sh |
Setup Locales and keyboard settings |
13-kernel.sh |
Build and install RPi 0/1/2/3 Kernel |
14-fstab.sh |
Setup fstab and initramfs |
15-rpi-config.sh |
Setup RPi 0/1/2/3 config and cmdline |
20-networking.sh |
Setup Networking |
21-firewall.sh |
Setup Firewall |
30-security.sh |
Setup Users and Security settings |
31-logging.sh |
Setup Logging |
32-sshd.sh |
Setup SSH and public keys |
41-uboot.sh |
Build and Setup U-Boot |
42-fbturbo.sh |
Build and Setup fbturbo Xorg driver |
43-videocore.sh |
Build and Setup videocore libraries |
50-firstboot.sh |
First boot actions |
99-reduce.sh |
Reduce the disk space usage |
All the required configuration files that will be copied to the generated OS image are located inside the files directory. It is not recommended to modify these configuration files manually.
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
apt |
APT management configuration files |
boot |
Boot and RPi 0/1/2/3 configuration files |
dpkg |
Package Manager configuration |
etc |
Configuration files and rc scripts |
firstboot |
Scripts that get executed on first boot |
initramfs |
Initramfs scripts |
iptables |
Firewall configuration files |
locales |
Locales configuration |
modules |
Kernel Modules configuration |
mount |
Fstab configuration |
network |
Networking configuration files |
sysctl.d |
Swapping and Network Hardening configuration |
xorg |
fbturbo Xorg driver configuration |
Custom packages and scripts
Debian custom packages, i.e. those not in the debian repositories, can be installed by placing them in the packages directory. They are installed immediately after packages from the repositories are installed. Any dependencies listed in the custom packages will be downloaded automatically from the repositories. Do not list these custom packages in APT_INCLUDES.
Scripts in the custom.d directory will be executed after all other installation is complete but before the image is created.
Logging of the bootstrapping process
All information related to the bootstrapping process and the commands executed by the rpi23-gen-image.sh script can easily be saved into a logfile. The common shell command script can be used for this purpose:
script -c 'APT_SERVER=ftp.de.debian.org ./rpi23-gen-image.sh' ./build.log
Flashing the image file
After the image file was successfully created by the rpi23-gen-image.sh script it can be copied to the microSD card that will be used by the RPi 0/1/2/3 computer. This can be performed by using the tools bmaptool or dd. Using bmaptool will probably speed-up the copy process because bmaptool copies more wisely than dd.
Flashing examples:
bmaptool copy ./images/buster/2017-01-23-rpi3-buster.img /dev/mmcblk0 dd bs=4M if=./images/buster/2017-01-23-rpi3-buster.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
If you have set ENABLE_SPLITFS, copy the -frmw image on the microSD card, then the -root one on the USB drive:
bmaptool copy ./images/buster/2017-01-23-rpi3-buster-frmw.img /dev/mmcblk0 bmaptool copy ./images/buster/2017-01-23-rpi3-buster-root.img /dev/sdc
QEMU emulation
Start QEMU full system emulation:
qemu-system-arm -m 2048M -M vexpress-a15 -cpu cortex-a15 -kernel kernel7.img -no-reboot -dtb vexpress-v2p-ca15_a7.dtb -sd ${IMAGE_NAME}.qcow2 -append "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext4 console=tty1"
Start QEMU full system emulation and output to console:
qemu-system-arm -m 2048M -M vexpress-a15 -cpu cortex-a15 -kernel kernel7.img -no-reboot -dtb vexpress-v2p-ca15_a7.dtb -sd ${IMAGE_NAME}.qcow2 -append "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyAMA0,115200 init=/bin/systemd" -serial stdio
Start QEMU full system emulation with SMP and output to console:
qemu-system-arm -m 2048M -M vexpress-a15 -cpu cortex-a15 -smp cpus=2,maxcpus=2 -kernel kernel7.img -no-reboot -dtb vexpress-v2p-ca15_a7.dtb -sd ${IMAGE_NAME}.qcow2 -append "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyAMA0,115200 init=/bin/systemd" -serial stdio
Start QEMU full system emulation with cryptfs, initramfs and output to console:
qemu-system-arm -m 2048M -M vexpress-a15 -cpu cortex-a15 -kernel kernel7.img -no-reboot -dtb vexpress-v2p-ca15_a7.dtb -sd ${IMAGE_NAME}.qcow2 -initrd "initramfs-${KERNEL_VERSION}" -append "root=/dev/mapper/secure cryptdevice=/dev/mmcblk0p2:secure rw rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyAMA0,115200 init=/bin/systemd" -serial stdio
