qwestion2> and then mount the device and copy the files over TO THE the mounted volume?04:28
adhocyes?04:31
qwestion2> qwestion2: if they, SOCIONEXT😃😃/96BOARDS - have an eMMC IMAGE FILE  for example, you can get the DEVUAN arm image that would match your CPU04:32
qwestion2> adhoc:04:33
qwestion2> and then mount the device -MOUNT SYNQUACER? TO WHAT?04:33
qwestion2adhoc: see capitalized, is this what u meant?04:34
adhocqwestion2: ok, let us start at the beginning.04:34
adhocwhat is your current setup ?04:34
adhoc(or if you don't have hardware yet, what are you proposing to run?)04:35
qwestion2adhoc: x8664 laptop04:35
adhocok04:35
adhocwhat would you like to run ?04:35
qwestion2adhoc: I I think I said it correctly earlier, dld socio image to laptop, Mount it,  dld devuanarm IMG, Mount it seperate and copy devuanimgs' rootfs into socios Mount, replacing previous filesys except for their krnl, uboot, firmware(3 separate paths?), and wTV bsp files04:41
adhocso you can download the image04:44
adhocand then mount the image via loopback, copy files on to it.04:44
adhocthen you can write that image to a eMMC or SD card, etc04:44
adhocone issue is you need to mount the image, and put the files in the right place04:45
adhocyou might be able to run with a chroot, so you use the environment in the image,04:45
adhochowever if you are running a different architecture, you probably will not be able to run the executables on the image04:46
adhochad not thought this all the way through =/04:46
adhocyou can definitely mount and copy files across to either the image, or the eMMC after you write the image04:47
qwestion2 mount the image via loopback , devuan still hasnt made this automatic ? i need cli?04:51
qwestion2 run the executables on the image ? which execs needed?04:53
qwestion2theres always qemu libvirt04:53
gnarfacedebootstrap might make this easier05:01
gnarfacealso, libvirt isn't really required, you can do it with just qemu-aarch64-static and a chroot05:01
gnarfacethe loopback mounting thing, i do it manually still but i think you just need udisks2 installed for what you want05:02
adhocgnarface: good point.05:06
adhocoh..05:07
* adhoc looks at qemu-aarch64-static05:07
adhocthis one? https://github.com/multiarch/qemu-user-static/05:08
gnarfaceuh, i use the one actually in devuan, in the repos05:08
gnarfaceoh, the name of the package in the repos is qemu-user-static though, yes05:08
gnarfacehere, i kept notes https://paste.debian.net/1227465/05:09
gnarfaceafter you do that you can re-chroot into it and just apt-get stuff05:10
gnarfacethen once you're done with that it's only really short the kernel + modules and a boot sector05:12
adhocnice05:12
gnarfaceoh, in those notes i used ascii, but this has been tested recently with chimaera05:16
gnarfaceback during ascii it would need a patched kernel but now you just need a regular kernel and the right build options05:18
gnarfaceso it's probably not picky and will work with the kernel + u-boot from other distros05:18
qwestion2gnarface: ok thx05:20
