MangoPi MQ-Quad Alpine

This repository provides configs and a script to compile the Linux kernel + Alpine Linux as the root filesystem for the MangoPi MQ-Quad.

Build script

Uses apt to install the required packages, should work on Ubuntu and Debian, I only tested it on Debian
The scripts needs access to the /dev/loop* files to create the image
It uses /mnt/boot and /mnt/rootfs as mounting points, make sure these folders are unused
Running the script

⚠️ You run this script at your own risk.
```
git clone https://github.com/GiyoMoon/mangopi-mq-quad-alpine.git
cd mangopi-mq-quad-alpine
chmod +x ./build_image.sh
./build_image.sh
```
The build script does the following:
Build u-boot
Build Linux kernel
- Includes the rtl8723ds wifi driver, which is currently not in mainline
Create image with Alpine Linux as the root filesystem
- Configures wifi
- It configures a static IP address, make sure interfaces and resolv.conf matches your network configuration
- Set your SSID and password in init.start
- Set mango as the default password for root (Had issues when trying to log in over UART with no password)
- Enable SSH and allow root login

When finished, you should see alpine.img in the root of this repository.

Not everything works yet. I'm trying to do/fix everything on this list.
