1.0: Initial release
Buildroot is a slimmed-down, Beepy-centric image with a fast boot, compatible with the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. It is automatically set up with Beepy device drivers and a set of useful software. Tailored for on-the-go communication, it ships with the following applications:
gomuks- Beeper command line clientmosh- Mobile remote shellw3m- Text based browseraerc- Command line email clientnmtui- Network management- Python 3
Please install firmware version 2.1 for this Buildroot release.
The file timezone.txt on the SD card's boot partition can be edited to change the device timezone. When a network is connected, time will automatically synchronize with time servers.
To configure a Wi-Fi network, use the nmtui utility after booting. You can also open the SD card's boot partition on your PC and rename the file wlan/ssid_goes_here.psk to wlan/<your_network_name>.psk and edit its contents, replacing passphrase_goes_here with the network passphrase.
The initial boot will take about 30 seconds to resize disk partitions to fill your SD card. Subsequent boots take around 8 seconds from power-on to Tmux.
When a new Buildroot release is posted, you can update by reflashing the SD card, or by running the command sudo update_buildroot to pull the latest changes from the release image.
