geri3449 / eureka_buildroot Goto Github PK

This repository contains a buildroot board definition, set of defconfigs, and various packages which together enable images to be built for the Google Chromecast dongle, codenamed "eureka." It is intended to be overlaid over a vanilla buildroot installation (has been tested with buildroot 2015.05, but may also work with other versions).

There are currently three defconfigs, which use the same board definition but different packages and package configurations. The basic configuration will build a bare-bones configuration, with an SSH server and packages which enable hardware features, but nothing else. It is suitable for copying to create your own configuration. The flashcast configuration builds FlashCast, a recovery- like USB image which is designed for simple imaging of the device. The fb-devel configuration is for testing development of an open-source graphics stack for the Marvell Armada 1500 SoC. The kernel patches which enable it to be built are not yet in this repository.

In addition to the standard buildroot dependencies, to run the post-build scripts which create flashable images, you will need Android's mkbootimg utility in your PATH as well as all the scripts from my chromecast-tools repository.
