The Cartesi Image RootFS is the repository that provides the Docker configuration files to build the rootfs.ext2 testing filesystem. This is used to run a Linux environment on the Cartesi Machine Emulator reference implementation. The current image is based on the cartesi/toolchain that uses Ubuntu 20.04 and GNU GCC 9.3.0. The rootfs.ext2 is built with Buildroot 2020.05 targeting the RISC-V RV64IMA with ABI LP64 architecture.

• Docker 18.x
• GNU Make >= 3.81

$ make build

If you want to tag the image with custom name you can do the following:

$ make build TAG=mytag

To remove the generated images from your system, please refer to the Docker documentation.

The following options are available as make targets:

• build: builds the docker rootfs image
• copy: builds the rootfs image and copy it's artifact to the host
• run: runs the generated image with current user UID and GID
• run-as-root: runs the generated image as root
• push: pushes the image to the registry repository
• submodules: updates the git submodules recusively
• config: Edit buildroot .config of the docker image (via "make menuconfig")

You can pass the following variables to the make target if you wish to use different docker image tags.

• TAG: image-roofs image tag
• TOOLCHAIN_TAG: toolchain image tag

$ make build TAG=mytag
$ make build TOOLCHAIN_TAG=mytag

It's also useful if you want to use pre-built images:

$ make run TAG=latest

The purpose of this image is to build the rootfs.ext2 artifact so it can be used with the emulator. For instructions on how to do that, please see the emulator documentation.

If you want to play around on the environment you can also do:

$ make run

Customizations are based on the br2-external mechanism. For more information read Buildroot documentation.
