This repo contains a pipeline to build the SD card image for the Lab-Box Raspberry Pi Touch Display Module.

Tasks this pipeline does:

• Update the base image
• Installs python and all the dependent python packages for the display python software
• Installs the boot config for the Raspberry Pi to use all the needed hardware of the Pi
• Modifies the base image with a new user, and other settings
• Clones and builds the AR1100 touch screen controller setup tool (installing my fork, but special thanks to https://github.com/tom-2015/rpi-AR1100 for the tool)
• Clones and installs the VNC proxy noVNC websockify
• Clones the display python software
• And finally cleans and packs the image

After you flashed an SD card and let the module/RasPi boot for the first time, it will go through multiple reboots until all stuff is set up. It will also stay still for a few minutes at some steps of the boot process, so don't worry. But this usually only takes five minutes (tested on a Raspberry Pi 3B+).

Just download the latest image from the release page of this repo here.

To flash an SD card, I can recommend using the Raspberry Pi Imager. It can also apply WiFi settings such as SSID, password and country, and locale settings such as language and keyboard layout. BUT DO NOT SETUP A USER OR SSH SETTINGS, they are already done in the image!

Alternatively you can use Balena Etcher, but it does not offer customizing any settings in the image.

• Clone Lab-Box Display Software repo

• I would like to export a list of all installed packages with versions back to Github Actions and attach that file to the release to track the installed packages
  • But I could not figure out, how I pass something back from within CustoPiZer (chroot) to the Github Actions run environment
• Test building x64 images, here is a hint/fix how it should work: OctoPrint/CustoPiZer#21
• Think of setting up basic firewall rules
