RuralPipe Image Builder

This project contains the necessary scripts and automation to build a bootable RuralPipe image for Raspberry Pi 4

Building the cross-compiler toolchain

This project uses crosstool-ng as the means of building the cross-compiler toolchain. Due to the fact that RasPiOS (Raspberry Pi OS) is still on libc 2.31, the compiler needs to stay on GCC 10 since as of the time of this writing, later GCC versions fail to compile older libc versions.

Follow the instructions here.

Installing/compiling prerequisites

The RuralPipe Image uses newer versions of Python, DBus and ModemManager than what natively comes with RasPiOS. Because of this, these utilities need to be cross-compiled first. These utilities in turn depend on libraries, which are also quite old on RasPiOS, so these need to be compiled from source as well.

In addition, the PyMM module uses functionality (such as the case statement) which is only present in Python 3.10 and later. These are not readily available on RasPiOS, so they need to be compiled from source as well.

In order to start the cross-compilation environment locally, use the following script which will start a sub-shell with the appropriate environment variables configured.

./x-compile-env.sh armv8-RuralPipe-linux-gnueabihf

PYTHON3 3.11

Some of the RuralPipe's modules use functionality from a later Python so we build version 3.11.
