[b2g] Creating a flashable zip?
Hi all I'm wanting to distribute my built image of Firefox OS for the Galaxy Nexus, but I'm struggling to find the ideal way of creating a flashable .zip to be flashed via Recovery. After a quick search on Google, I need to grab the system.img and boot.img from B2G/out/target/product/maguro/ and generate some sort of [META-INF] folder then zip those three into a .zip package and sign it. However, I'm not quite sure what I'm needing to include in the [META-INF] folder. Looking at the B2G/tools/update-tools/ folder shows a script call build-flash-fota.py which might be what I'm looking for to help make a flashable .zip of my Firefox OS build. Looking through the help indicates that I require several extra commands to get it to work. I get to the part where I need to fill out this section: --system-location SYSTEM_LOCATION device location for /system. required Does anyone know what I need to put for the SYSTEM_LOCATION part? I get the impression it's not documented clearly after doing a quick search on Google. Any help?

Hi,
I've used the following script in the past to create a FOTA update for my unagi:
- Start of fota-create.sh -
#!/bin/bash
SCRIPT_NAME=$(basename $0)
. load-config.sh
mkdir -p fota
set -x
tools/update-tools/build-flash-fota.py \
--system-dir out/target/product/${DEVICE}/system \
--system-fs-type ext4 \
--system-location /dev/block/mmcblk0p19 \
--data-fs-type ext4 \
--data-location /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 \
--output fota/update.zip
tools/update-tools/build-fota-mar.py \
--output fota/update.mar fota/update.zip
- End of fota-create.sh -
You may need to adjust the system/data location and fs-types as approriate. You
should be able to determine the correct locations/type for the system and data
partitions by doing something like:
adb shell mount | grep /system
adb shell mount | grep /data

Hi all

device location for /system. required
Does anyone know what I need to put for the SYSTEM_LOCATION part? I
get the impression it's not documented clearly after doing a quick

Any help?

Re: [b2g] Creating a flashable zip?
You have to gather the system *directory* and not the system.img from out/target/product/maguro/. Also, you need the boot.img file. Finally you don't have to generate the [META-INF] folder but just copy it from one other .zip build, for example a cyanogenmod build. Then zip them and sign them. check [1] for more details. About the SYSTEM_LOCATION, I guess it should be the system directory at out/target/product/maguro/. fredy [1] https://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.b2g/browse_thread/thread/ce5498d6d4142cad On 05/16/2013 12:40 AM, ojrear...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all I'm wanting to distribute my built image of Firefox OS for the Galaxy Nexus, but I'm struggling to find the ideal way of creating a flashable .zip to be flashed via Recovery.

Re: [b2g] Creating a flashable zip?
That is definitely better way, thanks for sharing.
Do you know if this also includes the boot.img in any way?
P.S. So, the system location is the /dev/block/partition of the system
on the device.
