This repo provides tools to create rootfs so that you can create a cross compile environment for Raspberry PI on Ubuntu Linux using bash script and python.
There are two ways to create rootfs. The first is to create a rootfs directly using a Raspbian OS image file. The other way is to create a rootfs using rsync from the Raspberry PI hardware you're already running.
And, this repo provide google Drive Link to download Custom Compiled GCC. If you are not familiar with cross compiler and do not have your own cross compiler, please download and use GCC from Custom Compiled GCC for Raspberry PI below.
For an example of compiling OpenCV and ffmpeg, see the Cross Compiling Examples section below.
cd ~/Workspace/rpi_rootfs
./build_rootfs.sh
Usage: .//build_rootfs.sh command [options]
command:
download : download latest RaspiOS image
create [image file]:
[image file]: raspi OS image zip/img file
update : run apt update & full-upgrade & autoremove in rootfs
run [command]: run raspberry pi command in rootfs
[command]: should be escaped with double-quote and
command need to be full path of command
e.g. ./build_rootfs.sh run "/usr/bin/apt -y libpulse-dev"
- install libpulse-dev package in rootfs
e.g. ./build_rootfs.sh run "/usr/bin/apt autoremove"
- run apt autoremove in rootfs
clean : removing rootfs
docker : build rpi_rootfs docker image
./build_rootfs.sh create ./2020-MM-DD-raspios-buster-armhf.img # note1
note1 : Download the image file from Raspberry PI download page and if possible, use the img file after unzip the img.zip file after download completed.
cd ~/Workspace/rpi_rootfs
mkdir -p rootfs
./rpi_rootfs.py
Usage: ./rpi_rootfs.py @hostname> <rootfs path>
./rpi_rootfs.py pi@your-raspberry-pi-ipaddress rootfs
When rpi_rootfs.py is executed, many messages are output to console during the sync list of files and library link fixing. Please ignore the messages.
If you installed a new library or software on Raspberry PI, please execute it again to apply the changed part.

The example below is based on the installation of rpi_rootfs and custom compiled gcc. Please use as needed. The following list is an example of source packages cross compiled using rpi_rootfs.
- WebRTC native-code source package
- libwebsockets
- OpenCV 3.x
- h264bitstream
- x264 and ffmpeg
It is a CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE definition file for cmake used when cross compile using cmake. You can cross compile using cmake with toolchanin provided by rpi_rootfs as follows.
cd cmake_source_distribution_root_path
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/Workspace/rpi_rootfs/PI.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

Please refer to README_ffmpeg_building.md. for how to build ffmpeg for Raspberry PI using rpi_toolfs.
cd ~/Workspace
git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv.git
