The Industrial Raspberry Pi Forum

Hi,

We are using revpi core 3 as an IIoT gateway.
We are not using any of the revpi proprietary connectors so no use of the piCon etc. is needed.

We want to have the most minimal OS- only CLI, running only our needed processes (which are basically network, USBs and our pythonic software, and some linux packages such as sqlite3 for example).

The only thing we do need is rPi's watchdog and maybe access to the revPi LEDs.

Is it possible (and advisable) to install a custom Linux without the revPi kernel etc.?

Hi EcoMan,

I would not recommend to install a RevPi without our kernel-package. You can disable piControl. Just remove "piControl" from /etc/modules.

To create an custom image you can use the imagebakery: https://github.com/RevolutionPi/imagebakery

It will install many things you might not want, but you can customize it in the if you edit the customize_image.sh:
https://github.com/RevolutionPi/imageba ... e_image.sh

We plan to release a lite image, but If you want to create an minimal image you are best of with the image bakery.

Best Regards
Philipp

Got it, thank you for the quick and detailed response.
