BSP Linux on Orange Pi 4

BSP Linux used on an Orange Pi 4

(!) Xunlong's provided Linux is an older 4.4 series kernel.

Installing Pre-Built Images

(!) Pre-Built kernel doesn't have support for CIFS (Samba file sharing)

1. Download compressed *.img files from the vendor's page
2. Extract the image files
3. Flash the image to an SD Card

Building Custom Images

(!) Supplied build scripts use Rockchip's closed source binary toolkit rkbin/tools. This makes it unusable for running on the Orange Pi 4 (or any ARM device). The repository is usable only as a learning material.

[i] The build tool is designed to be executed on Ubuntu (preferably 18.04 Bionic) on a x86_64 machine.

The build tool is using these repositories:

• OrangePiRK3399_kernel
• OrangePiRK3399_uboot
• OrangePiRK3399_scripts
• OrangePiRK3399_external
• toolchain

Base OS Packages

• whiptail (provided by 'newt' on Arch Linux or 'dialog' if you symlink 'whiptail' to 'dialog')
• bsdtar mtools u-boot-tools pv bc sunxi-tools gcc automake make curl qemu dosfstools (based on the tool's message)

Build Tools

git clone https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/OrangePi_Build.git cd OrangePi_Build ./Build_OrangePi.sh

Enter your (sudo) password, let it download the repositories (listed above). Then change to the resulting directory: cd ../OrangePiRK3399
