Hi!
We have new images ready for testing for both PureOS 9 (Amber) and the
Byzantium development version.
For the former, please give feedback on the updated images on their
tracking bug: https://tracker.pureos.net/T919
The Byzantium development images were also generated per-month as
usual and can be found at https://downloads.pureos.net/byzantium/ for
testing.
Cheers,
Matthias
Hello all!
Admit it, you've missed this mailing list haven't you? :-)
Firstly, I wanted to ask a question about backporting a 5.6 kernel for
Amber. This would be used on the new mini that's been announced. (
https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-mini/) While the currently Amber
kernel 4.19 works, according to Mr. Chromebox there are a couple of
issues;
- 4.19 doesn't have great support for the Comet Lake chipset
- Bringing up a coreboot port with the mini, one can't use PureOS as
it's not bootable from the vendor UEFI firmware
What is the easiest way to create a bootable OEM image for Mr.
Chromebox to boot the new mini?
My guess is that we ought to be able to just build a Byzantium image
and things should "just work". I say that because Debian 10 apparently
supports EFI - https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI. Can we build an OEM image
for Byzantium? How is this done for amber, is there a particular script
I can use or a set of steps we use to do this? We ought to likely
document this process for posterity. :-)
Getting a new image for the factory floor will help a lot, we have more
than minis in the pipeline as you may have seen.
More to come, specifically some notes about buildstream and reprotest
as well as variables for gitlab-ci.yml.
Regards,
Jeremiah
