# Building a NixOS SD image for a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 w
|
|
|
|
## 1. Update `zero2w.nix`
|
|
In particular, don't forget:
|
|
- to configure your wifi
|
|
- to add an admin user able to connect through ssh
|
|
|
|
## 2. Build the image
|
|
#### - On arm processor
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix build -L .#nixosConfigurations.zero2w.config.system.build.sdImage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### - On x86 processor :
|
|
|
|
add this to your config :
|
|
```nix
|
|
boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems = [ "aarch64-linux" ];
|
|
```
|
|
and then run :
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix build -L .#nixosConfigurations.zero2w.config.system.build.sdImage --system aarch64-linux
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 3. Copy the image in your sd card
|
|
```sh
|
|
DEVICE=/dev/disk5 # Whatever your sd card reader is
|
|
sudo dd if=result/sd-image/zero2.img of=$DEVICE bs=1M conv=fsync status=progress
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 4. Boot your Zero
|
|
|
|
## 5. From another machine, rebuild the system:
|
|
```sh
|
|
ZERO2_IP=<the-zero2-ip>
|
|
SSH_USER=<the-admin-user-in-the-pi>
|
|
nix run github:serokell/deploy-rs .#zero2w -- --ssh-user $SSH_USER --hostname $ZERO2_IP
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
- The Zero 2 doesn't have enough RAM to build itself. An initial lead was to create a swap partition, but it turns out it was a bad idea, as it would have decreased the sd card lifetime (sd cards don't like many write operations). A `zram` swap is not big enough to work. Hence the use of `deploy-rs`.
|
|
- Note that `nixos-rebuild --target-host` would work instead of using `deploy-rs`. but as `nixos-rebuild` is not available on Darwin, I'm using `deploy-rs` that works both on NixOS and Darwin.
|
|
- I still couldn't find a way to use `boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxKernel.packages.linux_rpi3`.
|
|
- the `sdImage.extraFirmwareConfig` option is not ideal as it cannot update `config.txt` after it is created in the sd image.
