Running Docker on roc-rk3328-cc

pdf

I've built a custom kernel containing all the prerequisite kernel config options necessary to run docker containers.

I used the procedures outlined here (to build a kernel);
http://wiki.t-firefly.com/ROC-RK3328-CC/linux_compile_firmware.html

And a variation of the procedures here (to build an Ubuntu 18.04 rootfs);
http://wiki.t-firefly.com/ROC-RK3328-CC/linux_build_rootfilesystem.html#building-ubuntu-root-filesystem

Getting all the kernel CONFIG_xxxx options was a tedious task.
If others out there wanna a copy of my kernel configs, I put mine here;
https://gist.github.com/pdfruth/b3546f3d01660d3525b31a5a5247dd97

To use it;

• Git clone the kernel source
• Download the content of the above mentioned kernel config. Save it to a file.
• Then copy it to arch/arm64/configs/fireflyrk3328_linux_defconfig in the kernel directory structure
• Compile your kernel
• Copy the new kernel Image and rk3328-roc-cc.dtb files over to the board (they live in the /dev/mmcblk1p4 partition on my eMMC)
• Reboot
• Profit

So far, I've only run a few Docker images (ie. hello-world, nginx), but they seem to be working well.

Hi

Thanks for sharing the information. My roc-rk3328-cc board is on its way. And I'm planning to run docker engine on it.

I'm trying to build uboot, kernel myself following your configuration. However, when I build kernel, I keep get error complaining it failed to build net/wireless/realtek or something. I'm wondering how did you compile it?

I'm doing build on ubuntu 18.04 btw.

Thanks

Thanks I think you just made this POS soc useful!

Following the steps on Ubuntu 18.04 I got this error:

Please, share a video, I want to see your steps --I don't believe you.
