Sucrose images for the Raspberry pi 3 can be created by using this repository: <nowiki>https://github.com/Rishabh42/rpi23-gen-image</nowiki>

This fork was tested on Debian stretch platform which was set up in an schroot shell.
 
 
The method is described as follows:
 
1. Set up an schroot environment by following the instructions on this page: <nowiki>https://wiki.debian.org/Schroot</nowiki> and replacing "wheezy" with "stretch" in the instructions to install Debian stretch which is crucial to build images using this repo.
 
2. Log into your schroot shell from the terminal.
 
3. Clone the  <nowiki>https://github.com/Rishabh42/rpi23-gen-image</nowiki> repository.
 
4. Build dependencies by going through the readme file in the repo and executing the commands described.
 
5. Change your directory to the cloned repo and run this command to start the building process: "sh rpi23-gen-image.sh", without quotes. This step takes some time as the scripts start downloading and configuring  packages to build an image.
 
6. Once the proces is complete in the terminal, navigate to this directory: ~/rpi23-gen-image/images/stretch to find the image that was built.

Testing

Starts at color gender age home view as user "pi", wireless works; showing ad-hoc and wireless Access points.

Does not auto-mount an inserted USB.

Reproducing

This was reproduced on Debian stretch platform which was set up in an schroot shell on Ubuntu.

Setup Schroot

Set up a schroot environment like this:

  • Install the schroot and debootstrap packages,
sudo apt install schroot debootstrap
  • Create the stretch filesystem,
sudo mkdir -p /srv/chroot/stretch
sudo debootstrap stretch /srv/chroot/stretch
  • Make a file /etc/schroot/chroot.d/stretch,
[stretch]
type=directory
personality=linux
directory=/srv/chroot/stretch
  • Log into your schroot shell from the terminal,
sudo schroot -c stretch

See https://wiki.debian.org/Schroot for alternate methods.

Setup Builder

Setup the builder within the schroot shell like this;

  • Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/sugarlabs/rpi23-gen-image
  • Install dependencies by going through the README.md file and executing the commands described,

Run Builder

  • Change your directory to the cloned repo and run this command to start the building process:
sh rpi23-gen-image.sh

This takes some time as the scripts start downloading and configuring packages to build an image.

  • Once the process is complete in the terminal, navigate to this directory:
~/rpi23-gen-image/images/stretch

to find the image that was built.

Some changes have been made to the original repo: https://github.com/drtyhlpr/rpi23-gen-image which can be viewed in the commit history.
