# 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.
- Configuration is done in the JSON file `global_config.json`; custom <platform_version> entries can be added underneath the `building_configs` block. Make sure the id is unique per block!
- Supports a `user_config.json` per <platform_version>
- Supports to bind a local redpill-load folder into the container (set `"docker.local_rp_load_use": "true"` and set `"docker.local_rp_load_path": "path/to/rp-load"`)
- Supports to clean old image versions and the build cache per <platform_version> or for `all` of them at once.
- Supports to auto clean old image versions and the build cache for the current build image, set `"docker.auto_clean":`to `"true"`.
- Allows to configure if the build cache is used or not ("docker.use_build_cache")
- Allows to specify if "clean all" should delete all or only orphaned images.
- The default `global_config.json` contains platform versions provided by the official redpill-load image. Please create new <platform_version> and point them to custom repositories if wanted.
## Changes
- from now on, only the platform version from the official redpill-load repository are supported. Thus all DSM7.0.1 platform versions are removed from global_settings.json.
## Usage
1. Edit `<platform>_user_config.json` that matches your <platform_version> according https://github.com/RedPill-TTG/redpill-load and place it in the same folder as redpill_tool_chain.sh
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 auto <platform_version>`
You can always use `./redpill_tool_chain.sh run <platform_version>` to get a bash prompt, modify whatever you want and finaly execute `make -C /opt/build_all` to build the boot loader image.
After step 3. the redpill load image should be build and can be found in the host folder "images".
Note1: run `./redpill_tool_chain.sh` to get the list of supported ids for the <platform_version> parameter.
Note2: if `docker.use_local_rp_load` is set to `true`, the auto action will not pull latest redpill-load sources.
Note3: Please do not ask to add <platform_version> with configurations for other redpill-load repositories.
Feel free to modify any values in `global_config.json` that suite your needs!
Examples:
### See Help text
```
./redpill_tool_chain.sh
Usage: ./redpill_tool_chain.sh <action> <platform version>
Actions: build, auto, run, clean
- build: Build the toolchain image for the specified platform version.
- auto: Starts the toolchain container using the previosuly build toolchain image for the specified platform.
Updates redpill sources and builds the bootloader image automaticaly. Will end the container once done.
- run: Starts the toolchain container using the previously built toolchain image for the specified platform.
Interactive Bash terminal.
- clean: Removes old (=dangling) images and the build cache for a platform version.
Use `all` as platform version to remove images and build caches for all platform versions. `"docker.clean_images"`="all" only has affect with clean all.
Available platform versions:
