Debos is a tool to make the creation of Debian-based OS images simpler. This article illustrates
how to create microSD images for the Acqua A5 board
Please note: to follow this article is requested to have a PC running a real (no V.M.) Debian Buster 10 distribution on i386 or amd64 architecture.
Installing Debos package:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install debos
Clone this git repository:
git clone https://github.com/AcmeSystems/debos-for-acme-boards.git
cd debos-for-acme-boards
Add your Linux username to kvm group:
sudo adduser $USER kvm
Launch the command to generate the image for your Acme Systems board:
debos acqua.yaml
The file
debian-buster-acqua-img.xz
will contains the microSD image
Use Etcher to write your microSD with the image generated
at bootstrap use:
Login: acme
Password: acmesystems
to extend the rootfs to fill the microSD size type:
sudo growpart /dev/mmcblk0 2
sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2
