1 SliTaz RPi
2 ================================================================================
5 SliTaz Raspberry Pi distro tools and files
8 Spi quickstart
9 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 The Raspberry Pi has a lot of specifications. SliTaz ARM provides 'spi' to build
11 custom SliTaz Rpi distro images ready to boot. SliTaz RPi prebuilt Linux kernel
12 package is hosted on SliTaz mirror. To get the latest version and unpack it:
14 # spi get-linux
16 The 'gen' command will generate a new SliTaz Raspberry Pi distro using 'sat'.
17 I will also install needed firmware and boot configuration files from the
18 directory: rpi/rootfs. Dont forget to sync your local packages mirror before
19 generating the distro to get latest versions and fixes:
21 # spi gen
23 Then you can install the distro the the sdcard. It is recommended to use
24 3 partitions, one for /boot formated in FAT32, second for the swap memory
25 and third for the root filesystem. You can you gparted of 'fdisk' to create
26 the needed partitions. Main advantages are: more memory for the RPi and
27 better security with files permissions. When ready and you know you disk
28 path (spi ls-dev) you can install SliTaz RPi with:
30 # spi install --dev=/dev/sdX
33 Spi commands and options
34 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
35 To get the list of commands and options with a short help simply run:
37 $ spi
39 Overclocking
40 ------------
41 To enable overclocking select one of the suggest modes from the list. Choosing
42 medium is generally a good starting point without risks:
44 # spi oclock
45 # spi gen --oclock=medium
47 SliTaz RPi Kernel
48 -----------------
49 To build the Slitaz RPi Linux Kernel Spi use SliTaz prebuild ARM cross
50 toolchain and a small patch to modify the kernel configuration. You can browse
51 the RPi SliTaz Mirror for previews version or get the latest toolchain with spi
52 and build the kernel:
54 # spi get-prebuilt
55 # spi cook-linux
57 Spi Options
58 -----------
60 --turbo: The force turbo option turns off the dynamic clocks and runs the
61 Raspberry Pi constantly at the highest arm_freq.
