About
=====
LAVA Master images are an essential part of the LAVA installation. This tool
accomplishes automated construction of such images.
Usage
=====
NOTE: This tool is likely to work on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin LTS release.
Earlier versions may lack the relevant kernel and userspace features.
To create a master image simply run:
$ ./lava-create-master <board>
Replace <board> with the name of the board you are interested with. Boards
are defined in boards.d/ (patches to add more boards are welcome, see HACKING).
They are also listed by ./lava-create-master --help.
The tool is mostly non-interactive (the only exception is the Snowball that
still asks a license confirmation question during the process). The system
caches "vanilla" images: stock images much like the ones that can be downloaded
from the Linaro website. Once prepared the caches "vanilla" image can be reused
over and over. The tool creates a single file <board>-master.img.
The first boot of a device with this card is special. It will initialize the
master image, including partitioning and labeling, and will likely take a few
extra minutes to finish. The interactive serial console will be activated after
this process has finished. Once this process is done it is *not recommended* to
clone the SD card anymore.
