Create DevTerm CM4 OS image from scratch

Intro

The image based on raspberry pi os
and it is better to run a Ubuntu 21.04 in a VirtualBox to do all the jobs
The entire operation requires a certain experience in linux
be careful

Start a chroot env

wget https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_full_armhf/images/raspios_full_armhf-2021-05-28/2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-full.zip

unzip 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-full.zip

sudo losetup --show -f -P 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-full.img #assume loop0
sudo mount /dev/loop0p2 /mnt/p2
sudo mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt/p2/boot

cd /mnt/p2
sudo mount --bind /dev dev/
sudo mount --bind /sys sys/
sudo mount --bind /proc proc/
sudo mount --bind /dev/pts dev/pts
#sudo mv etc/ld.so.preload etc/ld_so_preload
sudo chroot .

Inside chroot

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clockworkpi/apt/main/debian/KEY.gpg | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/clockworkpi.asc

echo "deb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clockworkpi/apt/main/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/clockworkpi.list

sudo apt update && sudo apt install devterm-thermal-printer-cm4 devterm-fan-temp-daemon-cm4 devterm-thermal-printer-cups devterm-kernel-cm4-rpi devterm-audio-patch devterm-wiringpi-cm4-cpi -y

Config xrandr

sudo bash -c 'cat << EOF > etc/X11/Xsession.d/100custom_xrandr
xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate right
EOF'

config lightdm

/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

greeter-setup-script=/etc/lightdm/setup.sh

sudo bash -c 'cat <<EOF >/etc/lightdm/setup.sh
#!/bin/bash
xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate right
exit 0
EOF'

sudo chmod +x /etc/lightdm/setup.sh

Modify /etc/dphys-swapfile

CONF_SWAPSIZE=512

Change the default wallpaper
The following files changed

• /etc/xdg/pcmanfm/LXDE-pi/desktop-items-0.conf
• /etc/xdg/pcmanfm/LXDE-pi/desktop-items-1.conf
• /etc/lightdm/pi-greeter.conf
• /home/pi/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE-pi/desktop-items-0.conf

Delete wallpaper address temple.jpg,change the desktop_bg color to #202020
change /etc/hostname to clockworkpi
in /boot/cmdline.txt ,add fbcon=rotate:1, remove quiet

Now quit the chroot env

exit
#sudo mv etc/ld_so_preload etc/ld.so.preload

sudo umount /mnt/p2/dev/pts
sudo umount /mnt/p2/dev
sudo umount /mnt/p2/proc
sudo umount /mnt/p2/sys
##clear bash 
sudo rm -rf root/.bash_history
#sudo rm usr/bin/qemu-arm-static

cd -
sudo umount /mnt/p2/boot
sudo umount /mnt/p2
sudo losetup -D /dev/loop0 #assume loop0

Flash the image to SD card

• Linux sudo dd if=2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-full.img of=/dev/sdX bs=8M status=progress
