The Industrial Raspberry Pi Forum

Hi, we have gotten a few RevPi Core 3+ that we are going to use as Greengrass Core. In other words, we only need a stripped down version of the RevPi image without all the RevPi specific software. What is the best way to achieve this? I have taken a look at some approaches:

• Prepare everything in one of the RevPi's and create a image and use this to flash the others?
• Install Raspbian Lite from the official Raspberry Pi webpage? (To get Buster)
• Use Imagebakery and modify this to only include what we want?

Hi fiLLLip, I would suggest the last option with Imagebakery .

If I understand it correctly I only need to run the build_image.sh script, and can I base it on 2019-04-08-raspbian-stretch-lite ?

I managed to successfully build a new stripped down image, and have two new questions:

• The revpi-factory-reset command is not present, so my mac address, serial and password is wrong. I included the revpi apt repo, but apt-file did not find the command/file. Where can I get this command? I included the following packages:
  raspberrypi-kernel
  revpi-firmware
  revpi-repo
  revpi-tools
• The first time an (on raspberry pi with uncustomized raspbian) image is run, it usually resizes the partition to fill the available space. Now I had to do this manually. How do I automatically do this on first boot?

Hi use "dpkg -S revpi-factory-reset" to see which package you need to install. The first time resize job is also included in the "revpi-factory-reset" tool.

Found it in the "piSerial" package! Everything working now
