BOF Notes
Redboot Scripting
* Currently have scripts that change and edit config * http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/arm/babbage/redboot-install has a prototype for
- a redboot installer script
* Script to flash redboot in package flash-kernel * During installation ubiquity and debian-installer set up /etc/kernel-img.conf to call the flash-kernel script as a postinst hook
* Redboot Linux tools (allow manipulation of Redboot from Linux), currently in the redboot-tools package in the ubuntu archive
- fconfig
- No init command to initialize redboot
- fis
* Need to patch the fconfig script to do what is needed * A redbooot-install script similar to the above prototype script will be added to the redboot-tools package
- the script needs to create a raw wrapper partition to protect the space from being overwritten unintentional by partitioning tools
- the redboot-tools scripts need to be used to create the cd images in debian-cd, so arch specific hacks in debian-cd can be dropped
- usb-creator should use the redboot-tools to convert from iso format (if it is actually desired to have .iso images for armel devices)
ACTION
- ogra to finish redboot-install (make it also usable from x86 so users can create bootable devices in a cross platform way
- dyfet to take a look at the missing bits to get an "fconfig init" command that sets up an initial redboot configuration without needing a binary blob
- in case it is decided to use iso images for armel, ogra will discuss the needed changes to usb-creator with evand
