I'm currently editing the wiki to add stuff, I'm on the extroot page. The extroot tutorial is 100% easy to follow also for newbies, the big issue is that for devices with 4 MiB storage space you can't install the packages needed and there is no pre-made image with the tools to do it.
So they need to have a linux system or make a VM to install the image generator, and learn how to use it to generate a extroot-friendly image. (not that it is hard, but for most people it's much more time lost to get the device set up) Also, having additional firmware images with the tools inside already would be cool for everyone. Would it be possible to tell the buildbots to make a variant of the flashable images for extroot use for all eligible devices (storage < 4 MiB and usb/sata/sdcard)? For the sake of clarity, these are the packages needed by one of such devices to be able to extroot (I think most devices have the usb/sata/sdcard packages pre-selected in their own profile, so that should not be required). blkid block-mount kmod-fs-ext4 -Alberto _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
