Hi,
Are there scripts somewhere for building the official OS images for the A20 card, from official distro package repositories, using debootstrap or the equivalent tool for other distros?
i've been following various instructions online. typically (and rather unhelpfully - see discussions dating back several years) the quotes normal quotes way is to create a quotes disk image quotes. you can tell i'm not very impressed with this practice.
A lot of the Allwinner chips require an sd card image. You may well find that the basis of the Cubietruck image will work. The Debian CD maitainers are fairly appropriate. Allwinner may also require FEL loading whihc is non-standard: I'm assuming that u-boot should work for you.
An unmodified Debian image built in the same way as there are images built for beagleboard / cubietruck would be useful and achievable, I'd have thought.
Note also that Debian are working hard towards fully reproducible builds.

I think it's important that the official OS images aren't just cobbled together by one person, with no one else knowing how to do it; in other words, the build process should be documented, reproducible, and ideally, fully automated.
i have such a huge amount to do already that i'm going to need help doing that. i've outlined some of the process in the updates for the two OSes i've done recently.
