Bianbu 3.0 ROOTFS Creation
Environment Requirements
The host machine is recommended to be Ubuntu 20.04/22.04, with docker ce and qemu-user-static (8.0.4, customized version with Vector 1.0 support enabled by default) installed.
docker
Docker ce installation can refer to https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/.
qemu
-
Uninstall binfmt-support
The customized qemu-user-static conflicts with binfmt-support because binfmt-support provides
/etc/init.d/binfmt-support
which is a traditional SysVinit startup script, while the customized qemu-user-static provides/lib/systemd/system/systemd-binfmt.service
which is a systemd service unit file./etc/init.d/binfmt-support
executes later than/lib/systemd/system/systemd-binfmt.service
, causing it to override systemd settings.sudo apt-get purge binfmt-support
-
Download the customized qemu
wget https://archive.spacemit.com/qemu/qemu-user-static_8.0.4%2Bdfsg-1ubuntu3.23.10.1_amd64.deb
-
Install the customized qemu
sudo dpkg -i qemu-user-static_8.0.4+dfsg-1ubuntu3.23.10.1_amd64.deb
-
Register qemu-user-static to the kernel so that the entire system (including containers) can directly execute riscv binary files
sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt.service
-
Verify if qemu-user-static registration is successful
wget https://archive.spacemit.com/qemu/rvv
chmod a+x rvv
./rvvThe following information indicates successful registration:
helloworld
spacemit
Prepare Base rootfs
-
Create working directory
mkdir ~/bianbu-workspace
-
Create and start container
docker run --privileged -itd -v ~/bianbu-workspace:/mnt --name build-bianbu-rootfs harbor.spacemit.com/bianbu/bianbu:latest
-
Enter container
docker exec -it -w /mnt build-bianbu-rootfs bash
-
Install basic tools
apt-get update
apt-get -y install wget uuid-runtime -
Configure environment variables for convenience in subsequent commands
-
Version 3.0
export BASE_ROOTFS_URL=https://archive.spacemit.com/bianbu-base/bianbu-base-25.04.2-base-riscv64.tar.gz
export BASE_ROOTFS=$(basename "$BASE_ROOTFS_URL")
export TARGET_ROOTFS=rootfs
-
-
Download
wget $BASE_ROOTFS_URL
-
Extract to specified directory
mkdir -p $TARGET_ROOTFS && tar -zxpf $BASE_ROOTFS -C $TARGET_ROOTFS
-
Mount some system resources to rootfs

mount -t sysfs /sys $TARGET_ROOTFS/sys
mount -o bind /dev $TARGET_ROOTFS/dev
mount -o bind /dev/pts $TARGET_ROOTFS/dev/pts
Essential Configuration
Configure Repository
-
First configure environment variables for convenience in subsequent commands
export REPO="archive.spacemit.com/bianbu"
-

Install Hardware-Related Packages
chroot $TARGET_ROOTFS /bin/bash -c "apt-get update"
chroot $TARGET_ROOTFS /bin/bash -c "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y --allow-downgrades upgrade"
chroot $TARGET_ROOTFS /bin/bash -c "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y --allow-downgrades install initramfs-tools"

Install Meta Packages
Different variants have different meta packages:
- Minimal: bianbu-minimal
- Desktop: bianbu-desktop bianbu-desktop-zh bianbu-desktop-en bianbu-desktop-minimal-en bianbu-standard bianbu-development
- Desktop Lite: bianbu-desktop-lite
Desktop, Desktop Lite and NAS are all based on Minimal. It is recommended to install the Minimal meta package first, then install the corresponding meta package.
- minimal variant:
chroot $TARGET_ROOTFS /bin/bash -c "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y --allow-downgrades install bianbu-minimal"
- Desktop variant:
chroot $TARGET_ROOTFS /bin/bash -c "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y --allow-downgrades install bianbu-minimal"
chroot $TARGET_ROOTFS /bin/bash -c "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y --allow-downgrades install bianbu-desktop bianbu-desktop-zh bianbu-desktop-en bianbu-desktop-minimal-en bianbu-standard bianbu-development"
- Desktop Lite variant:
chroot $TARGET_ROOTFS /bin/bash -c "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y --allow-downgrades install bianbu-minimal"
chroot $TARGET_ROOTFS /bin/bash -c "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y --allow-downgrades install bianbu-desktop-lite"
Tip: After completing the installation of all packages, you can execute the following command to clean up the cache to reduce the final firmware size
chroot $TARGET_ROOTFS /bin/bash -c "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get clean"
General Configuration

Note: Different variants only need to configure their respective files.
Generate Partition Images
Note: After installation and configuration are complete, unmount first!
mount | grep "$TARGET_ROOTFS/proc" > /dev/null && umount -l $TARGET_ROOTFS/proc
mount | grep "$TARGET_ROOTFS/sys" > /dev/null && umount -l $TARGET_ROOTFS/sys
mount | grep "$TARGET_ROOTFS/dev/pts" > /dev/null && umount -l $TARGET_ROOTFS/dev/pts
mount | grep "$TARGET_ROOTFS/dev" > /dev/null && umount -l $TARGET_ROOTFS/dev
Generate UUID and write to /etc/fstab
UUID_BOOTFS=$(uuidgen)
UUID_ROOTFS=$(uuidgen)
cat >$TARGET_ROOTFS/etc/fstab <<EOF
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
UUID=$UUID_ROOTFS / ext4 defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=$UUID_BOOTFS /boot ext4 defaults 0 2
EOF
Move boot to another directory to create bootfs and rootfs partitions separately
mkdir -p bootfs
mv $TARGET_ROOTFS/boot/* bootfs
Generate bootfs.ext4 and rootfs.ext4
mke2fs -d bootfs -L bootfs -t ext4 -U $UUID_BOOTFS bootfs.ext4 "256M"
mke2fs -d $TARGET_ROOTFS -L rootfs -t ext4 -N 524288 -U $UUID_ROOTFS rootfs.ext4 "2048M"
Note: Regarding rootfs.ext4 size. bianbu-minimal recommends 2048M, bianbu-desktop recommends 8192M, bianbu-desktop-lite recommends 6144M
At this point, you can see two partition images in the current directory, bootfs.ext4 and rootfs.ext4, which can be flashed to the board using fastboot.
