CUPS for Raspi using Yocto Project / OpenEmbedded

IN PROGRESS

FIXME: Write readme - build instructions - how to use FIXME: systemd or sysvinit or mdev-busybox FIXME: My printer is not available ☹️ Driver is missing. Maybe there is a ppd file FIXME: Change cups config. Changes begin with a '§' character

# Setup your system to build OpenEmbedded/Yocto Project or use a container
docker run -it --volume oe-workspace:/home/builder/workspace --name poky oe-builder

# Clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/ManuW/oe-cups.git
cd oe-cups

# Checkout required OpenEmbedded layers
kas checkout cups-raspi2.yml 

# Build the image
kas build cups-raspi2.yml

Now it takes a (long) time to build the image.

The result can be found in the folder build/tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi2/.

If you work in a container, copy the image to your PC

# Compressed image
docker cp poky:/home/builder/workspace/oe-cups/build/tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi2/cups-image-raspberrypi2-20231203083248.rootfs.wic.bz2 ~/Downloads
# required if you want to use bmap-tool
docker cp poky:/home/builder/workspace/oe-cups/build/tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi2/cups-image-raspberrypi2-20231203083248.rootfs.wic.bmap ~/Downloads

Uncompress and copy the image using e.g. dd

bzcat cups-image-raspberrypi2-20231203083248.rootfs.wic.bz2 | sudo dd of=/dev/rdisk10 bs=1M status=progress

After booting the raspi, you can login over ssh into the system

# password: raspberry
ssh pi@cups.local
