Building
System Requirements
To build an image you need to have at least Ubuntu 16.04 on your machine and the following packages installed: ubuntu-image snapd nodejs
Additionally at least 1 GB of free disk space is required
For virtual device testing you also need qemu-kvm
Additionally some npm packages are required, run npm i to install them
Other Requirements
- Ubuntu One account
- Snapcraft signing key
- Any of the supported boards or at least 4GB RAM free for virtualization
Creating the image
First run make once, it will guide you through the inital configuration
To build a board's model file run make BOARD.model
To build an image for a specific board run make BOARD.img
Running the virtual device
Use make start to build the amd64.img and launch it with kvm
If you used the defaults in the configuration step you should now be able to connect with make ssh
Could not access KVM kernel module: Permission denied
Is your user in the kvm group? Try sudo addgroup $(whoami) kvm and reboot.
