pi3-aoe

A basic setup for ATA over Ethernet on a RPi3.

Quick, and maybe dangerous

Edit boot/cmdline.txt to match your AoE shelf.

( echo -e '#!/bin/sh\nset -e\n' ; grep '^;' README.md | sed 's/^; //' ) > install.sh
sh install.sh

Build steps

• Edit boot/cmdline.txt to match your AoE shelf.

• Run make -j32 to build everything

; make -j32

• Create an image to dd on a microsd:

; dd if=/dev/zero of=pi3aoe.img bs=1M count=50
; loopdevice="$(sudo losetup -f --show pi3aoe.img)"
; sudo parted "$loopdevice" --script -- mklabel msdos
; sudo parted "$loopdevice" --script -- mkpart primary "fat32 2048s 100%"
; sudo mkfs.vfat "${loopdevice}p1"
; mkdir -p mnt
; sudo mount "${loopdevice}p1" mnt

• Install

; sudo make DESTDIR="$PWD/mnt" install

• Unmount and remove

; sudo umount -R mnt
; sudo partx -dv "$loopdevice"
; sudo losetup -d "$loopdevice"

Now you're ready to dd.

dd if=pi3aoe.img of=/dev/mmcblk0

Example AoE image setup

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1MiB count=0 seek=100000 of=aoe-pi3-arm64.img
mkfs.ext4 aoe-pi3-arm64.img
mkdir mnt
mount -o loop aoe-pi3-arm64.img mnt
debootstrap --arch=arm64 --foreign beowulf mnt https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged
cp -a /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64 mnt/usr/bin
[ -d /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc ] || modprobe binfmt_misc
[ -f /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register ] || mount binfmt_bisc -t binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
/etc/init.d/qemu-binfmt start || /etc/init.d/binfmt-support start
chroot mnt /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
echo "pi3-aoe" > mnt/etc/hostname
echo "root:toor" | chpasswd -R $PWD/mnt
sed -e 's/localhost/& pi3-aoe/' -i mnt/etc/hosts
rm -f mnt/usr/bin/qemu-aarch64
