how to implement Linux commands for building core boot image

really · 2024-11-28 18:24:58

I don't have much experience/knowledge set- of Linux Commands.

I am trying to build a Core Boot Image to install (hardware flash ROM) onto G505S AMD A10 as described on

http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Len … 5S_hacking

and each stage brings up Linux commands, I do not know about. Or where to use them in the file structure.

Stuck Now at

" NOTE : please remove gcc-ada / gnat from your OS if it is there, because it may cause the Ada-related build problems and our AMD platforms do not need any Ada code."

Synaptic Package Manager does not who this to be present.
When I do a search in the file structure, there are a lot of files/folders with gcc on them.

After this, I am to get a large file from github, that does not seem to download, but opes to list many commands, which are problematic to paste into the Terminal. That is, too many commands to paste at one time. (??) and last I tried, gave a list of errors.
which I guess means I needed to remove gcc-ada / gnat. (??)

Thanks for reading this, and perhaps helping.

Merry Holidays, and have a good Thanksgiving.

definitely a steep learning curve there.

Hi, gnat is a GNU Ada Compiler (gnat),

gnat-12 in my Daedalus package list.

search for
[

locate gnat-

The information in your error is a warning.

Just a thought... happy holidays!

Description: GNU Ada compiler
 GNAT is a full-featured Ada 2012 compiler.  A quote from
 http://www.adaic.org says: "Easily reused and maintained, readable
 and user friendly, Ada code facilitates such massive software
 projects as the Space Station and the Paris Metro. It has proven to
 be extraordinarily robust in decades' worth of daily field tests
 under the most rigorous conditions in which millions of lives have
 been at stake."  Ada is the language for real-world, mission-critical
 programming.
 .
 At the same time, Ada's radical type safety helps novice programmers
 avoid many common mistakes and deliver their software on time (see
 http://www.adaic.org/atwork/trains.html).
 .
 This empty package depends on the default version of the Ada compiler
 for Debian, which is part of the GNU Compiler Collection. Its
 enforces the same version for all Ada compilations, as described in
 the Debian Ada Policy.

seems dangerous to let the ai-bots hack away at such critical code. shazbot.

really, is really real, or just part of the matrix? :rolleyes: :wavingarmswildly:

so the systemd guy worked for military-industrial-complex-contractor-redhat...
and now works for military-industrial-complex-contractor-microsoft...
and what he works on is part of this thing where millions of lives are in the balance:

Ada code facilitates such massive software

is it just me or does anyone else think this will end badly? :rolleyes: :wavingarmswildly:

Not with a bang but a whimper.

T. S. Eliot was a seriously confused and rather unoriginal writer compared to Kipling, Conrad, Lawrence, Graves, Yeats, and even Joyce. However, it remains to be seen whether or not deathless feet will dance over the graves of fools and poets.

The world is not going to end any time soon my friends, take heart.

Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

The "world" is in our minds which have always been captured by those with an agenda due to our own stupidity. But this venue is not the place to go down that rabbit hole . . .

@trinidad . . . it is a light that those poets are mentioned by someone on this forum. Thank you!

The first command the OP (really) should learn is man (short for manual) which tells you what a command does. info is similar but "enhanced" which makes it a bit harder to learn.

The first thing to do when someone/something recommends a command you don't know is to read the man page to see what it should do.

Start with:
man less (less is the pager man uses to display man pages).
man man
man apropos (this lets you search man pages for a given string).

As time passes you will build up a useful knowledge base of UNIX/Linux commands.

Yep, the man pages rock. I would add that at the bottom of many of them, there is a line that says "See also (various other man pages). And it is very worthwhile to do so.

I have found solutions by perusing and cross-referencing various man pages, that I could not find anywhere on the internet.
