Same as Chromium OS, openFyde adopts the Portage build and packaging system from Gentoo Linux. openFyde uses Portage with certain customisations to support building multiple targets (bootable OS system images) across different hardware architectures from a shared set of sources.
A board defines a target type, it can be either for a family of hardware devices or specifically for one type of device. For example, The board amd64-openfyde is a target type for an openFyde system image that aims to run on most recent PCs with amd64(x86_64) architecture; whilst the rpi4-openfyde board is a target type specifically for the infamous single-board computer Raspberry Pi 4B. We usually append -openfyde to the board name in openFyde to differentiate between its siblings for FydeOS.
Each board has a corresponding overlay that defines the configuration for it. This includes details like CPU architecture, kernel configuration, as well as additional packages and USE flags.
This repository is the overlay for the rpi4-openfyde board, it's part of the openFyde open-source project.
This repository contains the following packages:
| Packages | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| chromeos-base/device-appid | Setup device appid | |
| chromeos-base/chromeos-chrome | Open-source version of Google Chrome web browser | chromiumos-overlay |
| chromeos-base/chromeos-init | Upstart init scripts for Chromium OS | chromiumos-overlay |
| chromeos-base/chromeos-bsp-rpi4-openfyde | drivers, config files for Raspberry Pi 4 | |
| virtual/chromeos-bsp | Generic ebuild which satisifies virtual/chromeos-bsp. | chromiumos-overlay |
| virtual/chromeos-config-bsp | Chrome OS BSP config virtual package | |
| metadata/layout.conf | metadata about inheritance and overlay | overlay-rpi4-openfyde-base |
