pankso@54 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pankso@54 10 SliTaz Raspberry Pi Config Tool with cmdline suport and user frindly ncurses
pankso@54 11 interface. Symply run the tool to get the menu or give TazBerry a function in
pankso@54 12 argument to execute it. Tazberry cmdline output is formated to be used in GUI
pankso@54 13 tools such as CGI scripts or GTK boxes:
pankso@54 14
pankso@54 15 $ tazberry ls-functions

pankso@54 18 Sat RPi build tool quickstart
pankso@35 19 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pankso@49 20 The Raspberry Pi has a lot of specifications. SliTaz ARM provides 'sat-rpi' to build
paul@40 21 custom SliTaz Rpi distro images ready to boot. A SliTaz RPi prebuilt Linux kernel
paul@40 22 package is hosted on the SliTaz mirror. To get the latest version and unpack it:
pankso@35 23
pankso@49 24 # sat-rpi get-linux
pankso@35 25
pankso@35 26 The 'gen' command will generate a new SliTaz Raspberry Pi distro using 'sat'.
paul@41 27 It will also install needed firmware and boot configuration files from the
pankso@54 28 directory: flavors/rpi*/rootfs. Don't forget to sync your local packages
pankso@54 29 mirror before generating the distro to get the latest versions and fixes:
pankso@35 30
pankso@49 31 # sat-rpi gen
pankso@35 32
paul@40 33 Then you can install the distro on the sdcard. It is recommended to use
paul@40 34 3 partitions: one for /boot formatted in FAT32, second for the swap memory
paul@40 35 and third for the root filesystem. You can you use gparted or 'fdisk' to create
pankso@38 36 the needed partitions. Main advantages are: more memory for the RPi and
paul@40 37 better security with file permissions. When ready and you know your disk
pankso@49 38 path (sat-rpi ls-dev) you can install SliTaz RPi with:
pankso@38 39
pankso@49 40 # sat-rpi install --dev=/dev/sdX
pankso@38 41
pankso@38 42
pankso@49 43 Sat RPi commands and options
pankso@38 44 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pankso@38 45 To get the list of commands and options with a short help simply run:
pankso@38 46
pankso@49 47 $ sat-rpi
pankso@38 48
pankso@54 49 --turbo: The forced turbo option turns off the dynamic clocks and runs the
pankso@54 50 Raspberry Pi constantly at the highest arm_freq.

pankso@54 52
pankso@39 53 Overclocking
pankso@39 54 ------------
paul@40 55 To enable overclocking select one of the suggested modes from the list. Choosing
pankso@39 56 medium is generally a good starting point without risks:
pankso@39 57
pankso@49 58 # sat-rpi oclock
pankso@49 59 # sat-rpi gen --oclock=medium
pankso@39 60
pankso@54 61
pankso@39 62 SliTaz RPi Kernel
pankso@39 63 -----------------
pankso@49 64 To build the Slitaz RPi Linux Kernel, Sat RPi uses a SliTaz prebuilt ARM cross
pankso@39 65 toolchain and a small patch to modify the kernel configuration. You can browse
pankso@49 66 the RPi SliTaz Mirror for preview versions or get the latest toolchain with sat-rpi
pankso@39 67 and build the kernel:
pankso@39 68
pankso@49 69 # sat-rpi get-prebuilt
pankso@49 70 # sat-rpi cook-linux
pankso@39 71
