rootfs build factory - gsoc

12 Apr 2015


      Respeced sir,
This is SHUBHAM MATHUR.Iwant to discuss for my project proposal in GSOC
2015.i just want to add more information about this. Before starting my
work i want to discuss with you about the problem that centOS doesn't works
on ARM boards like raspberryy pi,intel breakout board etc. So we have to
develop “FATelf” patches for centOS and. “FATelf” is a teqnique that is
also known as univrsal binary system. this type of tool can help us in
installing centOS for various hardware board. we can just upload our rootfs
and  various updates in it and as soon as it downloads and install and
works our projects gets done. But bfor that we have to make partition in
our harddisk or sd card on which architecture we are going to booy.
*MY DEDLINES FOR THIS PROJECT*
*week(1-2)*
Study “FATelf” in detail and  making a systematic idea of work that how to
give shape to my work.
*week(2-4)*
work on unpacking these files with “FATelf” for this i have to make a tool
which converts file system to “FATelf”
*week(4-6)*
if it works then its fine otherwise more work on it. if it works then try
to make a separate branch in kernel which converts  that filesystem to
“fatELF” the benifit for this is we dont have to take that tool again again
for installation purpose.
*week(6-8)*
Work on kernel branching only otherwise work on tool only.
*week(8-11)*
Finalising  my project and submitting to you
NOTE:-  I will definetly try to implement plugins for google chrome and
firefox for arm boards.
thanking you
