Saving a custom rootfs
Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2016 9:07 am
Spent a lot of time building a custom rootfs and now you want to change something in the kernel?
The Wiki explains how to generate your own kernel and insert it into /sd-fuse_nanopi/prebuilts. For the rootfs it explains how to "edit its components" and then re-compress the rootfs. But I already had the wanted rootfs.
So, I did the following:
In /sd-fuse_nanopi/prebuilts save the zImage and rootfs.tgz files, say as zImage_original, etc. Then place your new zImage and/or rootfs.tgz in here and proceed as described on the Wiki page.
