Rugpi Example for Revolution Pi

This is an example for building bespoke variants of RevPi Bookworm with Rugpi.

Warning

This is only a proof of concept, do not use in production! To get a fully functional setup, a deeper integration with RevPi is necessary. In particular, Rugpi must be appropriately configured to preserve all relevant configuration files.

Rugpi allows you to build bespoke variants of popular Linux distributions and comes with a robust over-the-air system update mechanism, specially developed for Raspberry Pi.

Instructions

The following instructions assume that you are using the 64-bit Bookworm beta image.

1. Download the RevPi Bookworm 64-bit Lite image from https://revolutionpi.com/en/tutorials/downloads#revpiimages.
2. Place the extracted image with the name 240902-revpi-bookworm-arm64-lite.img in the base folder. Should your image have a different name, you need to adjust the url parameter in the RevPi base layer layers/revpi-bookworm.toml.
3. Afterwards you can build a customized image with ./run-bakery bake image tryboot.

The resulting image has Rugpi Ctrl installed and supports OTA updates.
