debsus

A build system for making blobless debian and mainline kernel for the Asus c201 Chromebook

Build a mainline kernel and Debian filesystem with: No blobs, anywhere. Support for Aetheros AR271 usb wifi dongles through the open source firmware Minimal toolset intended as a based, including tools to setup a wifi connection Sources from only main, not contrib or non-free which keeps Debian libre TODO: basic graphical desktop like xfce

why

Combined with libreboot,an AR271 wifi dongle, and a libre OS (like Debian, the one built by this) the asus c201 is a fully libre machine with no blobs, or microcode.

Debsus has been tested on Debian Stretch (in a vm) These packages are required:

	apt install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests \
		parted cgpt \
		git gawk device-tree-compiler vboot-kernel-utils gcc-arm-none-eabi \
	    u-boot-tools \
		gcc make libc-dev wget g++ cmake \
		binfmt-support qemu-user-static debootstrap \
		lzip libssl-dev libncurses-dev flex bison

Building

Currently split between 'buildKernel.sh' and 'buildDebianFs.sh' Run the kernel one then the fs one.
