RedPill Tool Chain

中文说明 THX @haydibe

Inofficial redpill toolchain image builder

• Creates a OCI Container (~= Docker) image based tool chain.
• Takes care of downloading (and caching) the required sources to compile redpill.ko and the required os packages that the build process depends on.
• Caches .pat downloads inside the container on the host.

Changes

• Migrated from Make to Bash (requires jq, instead of make now )
• Removed Synology toolchain, the tool chain now consists of debian packages
• Configuration is now done in the JSON file global_config.json
• The configuration allows to specify own configurations -> just copy a block underneath the building_configs block and make sure it has a unique value for the id attribute. The id is used what actualy is used to determine the <platform_version>.

Usage

1. Create user_config.json according https://github.com/RedPill-TTG/redpill-load
2. Build the image for the platform and version you want: redpill_tool_chain.sh build <platform_version>
3. Run the image for the platform and version you want: redpill_tool_chain.sh run <platform_version>
4. Inside the container, run make build_all to build the loader for the platform_version

Note: run redpill_tool_chain.sh build to get the list of supported <platform_version>

After set 4. the redpill load image should be build and can be found in the host folder "images".
