This document describe how to create firmware building environment. Below instruction rely on Docker containers to make sure that all dependencies were resolved and target build environment is the same for all users. Of course users are free to choose their environment, but then build environment issues getting best effort support - suggested method is Docker container.
Steps were tested with Debian stretch/sid.
Please follow Docker installation instructions for your operating
system. Note that it is convenient to have non-root, so user added to group
docker may execute Docker client commands.
Get Dockerfile:
mkdir apu2-docker && cd apu2-docker
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pcengines/apu2-documentation/master/Dockerfile
Build Ubuntu LTS 14.04 based image:
docker build -t pc-engines/apu2b .
After successful build you will have image based on which you can create containers that can be used as build environment for PC Engines APU2 firmware.
Please continue to Building firmware.
