Building custom image for Raspberry Pi 4 using Buildroot | RPi4 | bash | nginx | openSSH | nmap
Introduction to Buildroot Buildroot is a popular tool for building embedded Linux systems. It simplifies the process of creating custom Linux images for embedded devices by automating the build process and managing dependencies. To learn more about Buildroot and its capabilities, refer to the Buildroot manual and clone the Buildroot source files from the Buildroot GitHub repository . What we are going to do is, we will first build a default image for the Raspberry Pi 4 using Buildroot along with the OpenSSH package. Then, we will inspect the image after booting it up. Later, we will rebuild the image with additional packages like bash, nginx, and nmap. Generating the .config file for Raspberry Pi 4 The Buildroot tool already has default configurations for widely used platforms. So, we will start off by listing the default configurations available for the Raspberry Pi boards. make list-defconfigs | grep raspberrypi Now, we have to generate the .config file for our Raspberry Pi 4, ...
