initramfs.cpio.gz not recommended ? #4

initramfs.cpio.gz (not recommended anymore, see update below)

Your number 2 said otherwise. I am confused.

hippie68 commented 3 years ago

It may be a little confusing at first. The "Update" paragraph in step 1 should help make it clear. The file I don't recommend anymore is the original one from psxita, and the one I do recommend is my modified initramfs.cpio.gz that you can download in the release section. Step 2 is referring to you having downloaded one of those files.

Hi @hippie68,

since you created your own initramfs.cpio.gz do you mind sharing the source code for that? If you also happen to have the sources for PS4 bzImage and could share that I would appreciate.

The reason is that I am trying to understand how all of this works and I could not find the sources for those 2 files anywhere. Not sure if there is a reason why people cannot share that or what.

Thanks

You can extract the initramfs file to see what's inside, including source code:

gunzip initramfs.cpio.gz
unmkinitramfs initramfs.cpio extraction_directory

The kernel file bzimage is provided as-is, as I don't have the source code. You could ask the author if he wants to share it: https://www.psxita.it/forum/psxitarch-linux-una-distro-per-ps4-t6120-40.html#p45702
