OOWOW Online-installation images

Basic Requirements

WIP:

Image Size

Try to make the installation image size small as possible

The simple dump from EMMC is the wrong way. Yes we can do it but, this image will have negative parts like:

  • some garbage in unused space
  • same fill EMMC size which will be written as is

it's possible to improve … but not any time, and quality of result not have any warranty

Partitions

Fenix Builds

for Fenix builds need to use normal partitions (like GPT or DOS ) please don’t use Amlogic partitions variant (just if its really necessary)

...
Choose install type:
2. SD-USB - Image For Writing to SD/USB Storage
...
Compress image:
Yes

Compress image option, automatically build image suitable for OOWOW

WIP:

Dump optimization

  • Prepare all content on eMMC (clean cached, temp, logs, files manually by hand)
  • Before make dump from eMMC need make some optimization via OOWOW ⇒ Advanced ⇒
  • Make a eMMC dump to SD/USB its will be automatically decreased as possible
  • Repack it by xze, if need to use it for online installation

Be sure your image will resize root-fs automatically at 1st boot, for example resize2fs /dev/rootfs
