The Raspberry Pi has a pre-existing port of Alpine Linux.
It should be possible to convert the pre-existing RPi Alpine install to a pmOS install.
postmarketOS device package
We'd be happy if you own a Raspberry Pi and want to integrate it properly. Let us know in the chat if you need any help! |
As of now, there is no device package, only the existing Alpine installation has been converted. But it should be not that hard to do. Rough notes on how it should be possible:
pmbootstrap init
, create a new device aport- delete the generated aports/device/linux-* folder (check with
git status
) - change the device APKBUILD to use Alpine's raspberry pi kernel instead
- add a new deviceinfo option for the boot partition type (default is ext2 as we do it now, for the pi it needs to be fat)
- adjust pmbootstrap code to use that variable
- test the installation with an sd card
- make a pull request
