Buildroot

wget https://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2023.08.tar.gz
tar xjfv buildroot-2023.08.tar.gz && rm buildroot-2023.08.tar.gz

make -C buildroot BR2_EXTERNAL="$PWD/phoniebox"
make -C buildroot BR2_EXTERNAL="$PWD/phoniebox" raspberrypi0w_defconfig
make menuconfig

Save .config to defconfig

To make your changes persistent to the defconfig file, don't forget to execute the command.

make -C buildroot make savedefconfig
make -C buildroot make linux-update-config

Misc

• First boot takes a couple of seconds longer, because the FS is being expanded
• Enable XZ compressed modules for kernel 6.1.x otherwise modules.dep is empty

Old Stuff

UseCase

I created this repo because we wanted to use Jukebox for RPi Zero W but unfortunately the start up timing was to slow for usage with children. So we tried to create a buildroot package but it was harder than expected and the usage of a microcontroller (ESP8266, ...) was easier. But because of easy update possibility we try again to create a small buildroot setup for the rasperrypi zero.

ToDo

1. Download and unzip buildroot BuildRoot Documentation
2. Run default config for raspberry pi zero w

   make raspberrypi0w_defconfig
   

3. Clone this repo inside the package folder of buildroot

   git clone https://github.com/net-attack/RPi-Jukebox-RFID-buildroot-package.git rpi-phoniebox
   

4. Add package to package\Config.in end of file:

   menu "Phoniebox"
      source "package/rpi-phoniebox/Config.in"
   endmenu
   

   Ensure to have a empty newline in the config files. This lead to errors while running make menuconfig
5. Run make menuconfig and select Phoniebox
6. Run make

Open Issues:

1. Need to patch the linux_custom script folder: Replace in output\build\linux_custom\scripts\dtc\dtc-lexer.l the line YYLTYPE yylloc; with extern YYLTYPE yylloc;
