[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] A way to create my own flashable binaries

[From: Philip Van Hoof]

Hi there,

For a customer I'd like a way to create my own binaries which I can use
to flash a Nokia 770.

The reason is that this would make it more easy to do large deployments.

I was thinking like this:

mount -o loop -t nokia Nokia_770_$x.bin /mnt
mv /mnt/bin/sh /mnt/bin/sh.recoverme
cp /bin/sh /mnt/bin/sh
cp /usr/bin/dpkg /mnt/usr/bin/dkpg.x86
cp mystuff.deb /mnt/
chroot /mnt
cd /
dpkg.x86 -i mystuff.deb
exit
cp /mnt/bin/sh.recoverme /mnt/bin/sh
umount /mnt

for a in *.devices
do
  DEVNAME=`cat $a | grep DENAME | cut -d "=" -f 1`
  echo "Attach the next device ($DEVNAME) please"
  read

  flasher -F Nokia_770_$x.bin -f -R
  flasher --set-device-name $DEVNAME --reboot
done
