mkpi

Easy custom raspbian/debian images on for your raspberry pi.

The script is a bit like the old ubuntu-vm-builder package, but produces images for raspberry pi that can be burnt to SD card with dd.

Usage

You need some dependencies first:

sudo apt-get install binfmt-support qemu-user-static debootstrap kpartx dosfstools

You can install mkpi and its dependencies with pip:

sudo pip install mkpi

or easy_install:

sudo easy_install mkpi

It's better to install it in a virtualenv so it's easier to remove.

Then you can make your first image with:

sudo mkpi

Hacking

Checkout the repo, create a virtualenv and do an editable install:

git clone git://github.com/Jc2k/mkpi
cd mkpi
virtualenv .
source bin/activate
pip install -e .
