Requirements

You need a Debian system. It might work on other Debian based systems as well, but it is not tested. You need the packages qemu-user-static, parted and debootstrap for sure, other tools are more or less standard on a Debian system.

How to build

You can create a RaspberryPi image by calling

sudo ./build.sh

in the root directory of the project. The build script will download many files, so it will consume some space on your hard drive and will take some time, be patient.

Once the build has finished, you should have a file called efaLivePi_2.5.img in the project root directory. This can be written to a SD card by using dd

sudo dd if=efaLivePi_2.5.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M

Be careful with the parameter for 'of='! YOU WILL OVERWRITE IMPORTANT DATA if you choose the wrong device here!
