OOWOW Online-installation images
Basic Requirements
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 by dump-optimization, but don't have any warranty to get quality results
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
Dump optimization
- Prepare all content on eMMC (clean cached, temp, logs, files manually by hand)
- Boot into OOWOW
- Before make dump from eMMC need make some optimization via OOWOW ⇒ shell
RESIZE=1 /opt/mmc_optimize - 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 system must resize root-fs back to maximal size automatically at 1st boot, for example resize2fs /dev/rootfs
