# Building a Mobian Image for the Pixel 3a
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Cloning the repositories
|
|
|
|
Kernel: https://salsa.debian.org/erebion/sdm-670-linux
|
|
|
|
Mobian Recipes does not have the changes merged, as the kernel is not yet part of Mobian: https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/mobian-recipes/-/merge_requests/113
|
|
|
|
Take my temporary fork of Mobian Recipes instead, for now: https://salsa.debian.org/erebion/mobian-recipes/-/tree/erebion/sargo-build?ref_type=heads
|
|
|
|
The fork will be maintained until there are official Mobian images for the Pixel 3a.
|
|
|
|
## Compiling the Kernel
|
|
|
|
First `cd` to the kernel repo.
|
|
|
|
Then:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gbp pq import # import the patches to a patch-queue branch with the patches applied
|
|
DEB_HOST_ARCH=arm64 dpkg-buildpackage -a arm64 -us -uc -rfakeroot -b -Pcross,nocheck
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building the Image
|
|
|
|
First `cd` to the Mobian repo.
|
|
|
|
Copy the kernel deb to `devices/qcom/packages`, so that it gets installed onta the image we are about to build.
|
|
|
|
Temporary workarounds:
|
|
|
|
- Comment `loupe` in `include/packages-phosh.yaml` as that is currently not available in the repo. The image viewer can be installed later.
|
|
- Comment `mobian-phosh` because of a broken dependency and insert `phosh-core`, the metapackage just installs things like an XMPP client and nothing important we couldn't install later.
|
|
- Add your SSH authorized keys file to `overlays/ssh/authorized_keys`, important so you can log in later
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build.sh -t qcom -s -u mobian | tee mobian-build.log # -s for SSH, which we need later
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(If you replace `mobian` with your own username, you will have to use that one for SSH later, of course)
|
|
|
|
Wait. It takes a while. Make sure the internet connection is stable, as the build fails if it cannot download all packages successfully.
|
|
|
|
Note: Your SSH Host Keys currently get generated while building the image, please don't give your image to anyone else.
|
|
|
|
## Flash to device:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
fastboot --set-active --slot a
|
|
fastboot flash boot_a mobian-qcom-phosh-20240614.boot-bonito-sdc.img
|
|
fastboot flash userdata mobian-qcom-phosh-20240614.rootfs.img
|
|
fastboot erase dtbo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Boot up the device. Connect it via USB.
|
|
|
|
## Temporary manual changes
|
|
|
|
Documented in README.md in this repo.
