`image/sd_buildroot.img` target expects presence of the tarball at `buildroot/output/images/rootfs.tar`. You'll have to `clean` and rebuild every time you change the Buildroot's config before making the SD image.
Docker build
------------
You can build everything in Docker instead of preparing native Linux cross toolchains on your host.
### Prerequisites
- Docker Desktop (or Docker Engine) with Linux containers enabled
- A clone with submodules initialized
### Steps
1. Build the builder image.
```sh
make docker-build
```
2. Build complete SD image in stages (recommended for macOS to avoid daemon crashes).
```sh
make docker-sd-image-full
```
This runs three separate containers in sequence, which distributes resource load and prevents Docker Desktop daemon from running out of memory. Alternatively, run each stage independently:
```sh
make docker-kernel
make docker-rootfs
make docker-sd-image
```
**Note:** On macOS Docker Desktop, the combined memory footprint of kernel compilation, rootfs staging, and loop device operations can exceed the default VM allocation (~2-4 GB). Breaking into stages allows the daemon to garbage collect between steps.
**Note:** `make docker-rootfs` (and thus `make docker-sd-image-full`) always deletes and recreates the named volume `buildbrain-brainux-rootfs` before building, so each rootfs build starts from a clean slate. To delete the volume manually between runs use `make docker-volume-rm`.
### Direct Docker commands (advanced)
For macOS, run in **stages** and use a **named volume** for the rootfs.
> [!NOTE] Why a named volume for the rootfs?
> macOS APFS (the host filesystem behind Docker bind mounts) cannot create device
> files (`mknod`), may strip `setuid` bits, and does not faithfully preserve all
> Linux filesystem attributes. If the Debian rootfs is stored on APFS the result
> looks complete but will fail to boot — systemd cannot exec as PID 1 because the
> rootfs is subtly broken. The `make docker-*` targets below store `brainux/` in a
> Docker **named volume** (`buildbrain-brainux-rootfs`), which lives inside the
> Docker Desktop Linux VM on an ext4 filesystem and supports full Linux semantics.
```sh
# Create a named volume for the rootfs (Linux ext4 inside the Docker Desktop VM)
$ docker volume create buildbrain-brainux-rootfs
# Stage 1: kernel (bind mount is fine for source + outputs)
$ docker run --rm --platform linux/amd64 -v "$PWD":/work -w /work buildbrain-builder:local \
bash -lc "make ldefconfig && make lbuild"
# Stage 2: rootfs (must use named volume, NOT a bind mount for brainux/)
$ docker run --rm --platform linux/amd64 --privileged -e CI=true \
-v buildbrain-brainux-rootfs:/work/brainux \
-v "$PWD":/work -w /work buildbrain-builder:local \
bash -lc "make brainux"
# Stage 3: image assembly (mount the same named volume so cp -a reads from Linux ext4)
$ docker run --rm --platform linux/amd64 --privileged \
-v buildbrain-brainux-rootfs:/work/brainux \
-v "$PWD":/work -w /work buildbrain-builder:local \
bash -lc "make -C nkbin_maker clean all && make IMG_BUILD_JOBS=1 image/sd.img"
```
On Linux with sufficient resources, you can run all steps in one container (no named volume needed on a native Linux host):
```sh
$ docker run --rm --platform linux/amd64 --privileged -e CI=true -v "$PWD":/work -w /work buildbrain-builder:local \
bash -lc "make ldefconfig lbuild && make nkbin-maker && make brainux && make image/sd.img"
```
Other useful Docker recipes:
- `make docker-uboot` to build U-Boot
- `make docker-kernel` to build Linux kernel
- `make docker-volume-create` to (re-)create the rootfs named volume
- `make docker-volume-rm` to delete the rootfs named volume and reclaim its disk space
Known issues
----------------------------------------
If you use GCC 10 for the host compiler, `make ubuild` may fail.
