PocketPill Linux (Buildroot)

This Repo is based on the impressive work of unframework. The base is basically just a slightly modified version of the licheepi-nano base, with addition for anything required to run the pocketpill.

Features

• Boot from SD
• USB-Gadget Serial
• Keys as input device
• Display support

Building the Image

The easiest way is using Docker (on Windows/MacOS/Linux).

Run the image build command:

mkdir dest # (if not already there)
docker build --output type=tar,dest=- . | tar x -C dist

The full build may take up to an hour, depending on your host machine.

The built image will be available in dist/sdcard.img - you can write this to your bootable micro SD card (see below).

Iterating on the Base Image

mkdir dest # (if not already there)
docker build -f Dockerfile.dev --output type=tar,dest=- . | tar x -C dist

Here is how the base image is generated (these commands are just for the repo maintainer):

docker build -f Dockerfile --target main -t olel/pocketpill-buildroot:latest .
