Hi All, I'm trying to decide if rauch is the right tool for my project. My target is an embedded Linux with: - SPI Flash for booting (paleolithic version of U-Boot) and possibly a initramfs/recovery (16M total) - A sizable SD card (8G).
Bad problem is SD is very sensitive to "unexpected" shutdowns which I cannot prevent. Slots should include: - uboot (possibly never updated) allocated in first Flash partition: /dev/mtd1 - linux kernel (rarely upgraded, if ever) allocated in third Flash partition: /dev/mtd3 - recovery (possibly never updated) allocated in fourth Flash partition: /dev/mtd4 probably a SquashFS, but could also be a initramfs (cpio) copies of rauc modules could be stored in first SD partition (vfat) /dev/mmcblk1 - system (rarely upgraded) allocated in SD, redundant probably /dev/mmcblk0p2 and /dev/mmcblk0p3 ext4 - application (often upgraded) allocated in SD, redundant probably /dev/mmcblk0p5 and /dev/mmcblk0p6 ext4 mounted on /home - accumulated data (initially empty; should be preserved at all cost) allocated in SD, not redundant, but possibly backed-up before upgrade. ext4 mounted on /srv At first documentation perusal I saw no direct support for MTD. My current "solution" relies on a bunch of scripts that are rapidly growing and a rather complex usage of OverlayFS. I am thus looking for a "more structured" solution, possibly rauch. Can someone advise? I am available to give more info, if needed. Thanks in Advance Mauro _______________________________________________ RAUC mailing list
