.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm nanobsd.sh
|
|
.Nd utility used to create a FreeBSD system image suitable for embedded
|
|
applications
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl bhknw
|
|
.Op Fl c Ar config-file
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is a script which produces a minimal implementation of
|
|
.Fx
|
|
(called
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD ) ,
|
|
which typically fits on a small media such as a Compact Flash card,
|
|
or other mass storage medium.
|
|
It can be used to build specialized install images, designed for easy
|
|
installation and maintenance.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl c Ar config-file" -offset indent
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Skip the build stages (both for kernel and world).
|
|
.It Fl c Ar config-file
|
|
Specify the configuration file to use.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Display usage information.
|
|
.It Fl k
|
|
Skip the
|
|
.Cm buildkernel
|
|
stage of the build.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Do not cleanup before each build stage.
|
|
This suppresses the normal cleanup work done before the
|
|
.Cm buildworld
|
|
stage and adds -DNO_CLEAN to the make command line
|
|
used for each build stage (world and kernel).
|
|
.It Fl w
|
|
Skip the
|
|
.Cm buildworld
|
|
stage of the build.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The features of
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD
|
|
include:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
Ports and packages work as in
|
|
.Fx .
|
|
Every single application can be installed and used in a
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD
|
|
image, the same way as in
|
|
.Fx .
|
|
.It
|
|
No missing functionality.
|
|
If it is possible to do something with
|
|
.Fx ,
|
|
it is possible to do the same thing with
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD ,
|
|
unless the specific feature or features were explicitly removed from the
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD
|
|
image when it was created.
|
|
.It
|
|
Everything is read-only at run-time.
|
|
It is safe to pull the power-plug.
|
|
There is no necessity to run
|
|
.Xr fsck 8
|
|
after a non-graceful shutdown of the system.
|
|
.It
|
|
Easy to build and customize.
|
|
Making use of just one shell script and one configuration file it is
|
|
possible to build reduced and customized images satisfying any arbitrary
|
|
set of requirements.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss NanoBSD Media Layout
|
|
The mass storage medium is divided into three parts by default (which
|
|
are normally mounted read-only):
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
Two image partitions:
|
|
.Li code#1
|
|
and
|
|
.Li code#2 .
|
|
.It
|
|
The configuration file partition, which can be mounted under the
|
|
.Pa /cfg
|
|
directory at run time.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa /etc
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /var
|
|
directories are
|
|
.Xr md 4
|
|
(malloc backed) disks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The configuration file partition persists under the
|
|
.Pa /cfg
|
|
directory.
|
|
It contains files for
|
|
.Pa /etc
|
|
directory and is briefly mounted read-only right after the system boot,
|
|
therefore it is required to copy modified files from
|
|
.Pa /etc
|
|
back to the
|
|
.Pa /cfg
|
|
directory if changes are expected to persist after the system restarts.
|
|
.Sh BUILDING Nm NanoBSD
|
|
A
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD
|
|
image is built using a simple
|
|
.Nm
|
|
shell script, which can be
|
|
found in the
|
|
.Pa src/tools/tools/nanobsd
|
|
directory.
|
|
This script creates a bootable image, which can be copied on the storage
|
|
medium using the
|
|
.Xr dd 1
|
|
utility.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The necessary commands to build and install a
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD
|
|
image are:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
cd /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd
|
|
sh nanobsd.sh
|
|
cd /usr/obj/nanobsd.full
|
|
dd if=_.disk.full of=/dev/da0 bs=64k
|
|

|
|
.Sh CUSTOMIZING Nm NanoBSD
|
|
This is probably the most important and most interesting feature of
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD .
|
|
This is also where you will be spending most of the time when developing with
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Customization is done in two ways:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
Configuration options.
|
|
.It
|
|
Custom functions.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
With configuration settings, it is possible to configure options passed
|
|
to both the
|
|
.Cm buildworld
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm installworld
|
|
stages of the
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD
|
|
build process, as well as internal options passed to the main build
|
|
process of
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD .
|
|
Through these options it is possible to cut the system down, so it will
|
|
fit on as little as 64MB.
|
|
You can use the configuration options to trim down the system
|
|
even more, until it will consist of just the kernel and two or three
|
|
files in the userland.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The configuration file consists of configuration options, which override
|
|
the default values.
|
|
The most important directives are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Va CONF_INSTALL" -offset indent
|
|
.It Va NANO_NAME
|
|
Build name (used to construct the working directory names).
|
|
.It Va NANO_SRC
|
|
Path to the source tree used to build the image.
|
|
.It Va NANO_KERNEL
|
|
Name of the kernel configuration file used to build the kernel.
|
|
.It Va NANO_ARCH
|
|
Machine processor architecture to build. Defaults to output of
|
|
.Cm uname -p .
|
|
.It Va NANO_BOOT0CFG
|
|
Controls the options passed to
|
|
.Xr boot0cfg 8 ;
|
|
these dictate
|
|
.Nm boot0 Ns 's
|
|
behaviour.
|
|
.It Va NANO_BOOTLOADER
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm boot0
|
|
loader to use relative to the
|
|
.Va NANO_WORLDDIR
|
|
variable.
|
|
This defaults to
|
|
.Pa boot/boot0sio
|
|
and should be overridden to
|
|
.Pa boot/boot0
|
|
to provide a VGA
|
|
console.
|
|
.It Va CONF_BUILD
|
|
Options passed to the
|
|
.Cm buildworld
|
|
stage of the build.
|
|
.It Va CONF_INSTALL
|
|
Options passed to the
|
|
.Cm installworld
|
|
stage of the build.
|
|
.It Va CONF_WORLD
|
|
Options passed to both the
|
|
.Cm buildworld
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm installworld
|
|
stages of the build.
|
|
.It Va FlashDevice
|
|
Defines the type of media to use.
|
|
Check the
|
|
.Pa FlashDevice.sub
|
|
file for more details.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For more configuration options, please check the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
script.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To build
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD
|
|
image using the
|
|
.Pa nanobsd.conf
|
|
configuration file, use the following command:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
sh nanobsd.sh -c nanobsd.conf
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is possible to fine-tune
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD
|
|
using shell functions in the configuration file.
|
|
The following example illustrates the basic model of custom functions:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
cust_foo () (
|
|
echo "bar=topless" > \\
|
|
${NANO_WORLDDIR}/etc/foo
|
|
)
|
|
customize_cmd cust_foo
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are a few pre-defined customization functions ready for use:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm cust_allow_ssh_root" -offset indent
|
|
.It Cm cust_comconsole
|
|
Disables
|
|
.Xr getty 8
|
|
on the virtual
|
|
.Xr syscons 4
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr vt 4
|
|
terminals
|
|
.Pq Pa /dev/ttyv*
|
|
and enables the use of the first serial port as the system
|
|
console.
|
|
.It Cm cust_allow_ssh_root
|
|
Allow root to log in via
|
|
.Xr sshd 8 .
|
|
.It Cm cust_install_files
|
|
Installs files from the
|
|
.Pa nanobsd/Files
|
|
directory, which contains some useful scripts for system administration.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Pa src/tools/tools/nanobsd" -compact
|
|
.It Pa src/tools/tools/nanobsd
|
|
Base directory of the
|
|
.Nm NanoBSD
|
|
build script.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Making persistent changes to
|
|
.Pa /etc/resolv.conf :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
vi /etc/resolv.conf
|
|
\&...
|
|
mount /cfg
|
|
cp /etc/resolv.conf /cfg
|
|
umount /cfg
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A more useful example of a customization function is the following,
|
|
which changes the default size of the
|
|
.Pa /etc
|
|
directory from 5MB to 30MB:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
cust_etc_size () (
|
|
cd ${NANO_WORLDDIR}/conf
|
|
echo 30000 > default/etc/md_size
|
|
)
|
|
customize_cmd cust_etc_size
