| Beyond Buildroot |
| ================ |
| |
| Boot the generated images |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| NFS boot |
| ~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| To achieve NFS-boot, enable _tar root filesystem_ in the _Filesystem |
| images_ menu. |
| |
| After a complete build, just run the following commands to setup the |
| NFS-root directory: |
| |
| ------------------- |
| sudo tar -xavf /path/to/output_dir/rootfs.tar -C /path/to/nfs_root_dir |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Remember to add this path to +/etc/exports+. |
| |
| Then, you can execute a NFS-boot from your target. |
| |
| Chroot |
| ------ |
| |
| If you want to chroot in a generated image, then there are few thing |
| you should be aware of: |
| |
| * you should setup the new root from the _tar root filesystem_ image; |
| |
| * either the selected target architecture is compatible with your host |
| machine, or you should use some +qemu-*+ binary and correctly set it |
| within the +binfmt+ properties to be able to run the binaries built |
| for the target on your host machine; |
| |
| * Buildroot does not currently provide +host-qemu+ and +binfmt+ |
| correctly built and set for that kind of use. |
