Kubernetes image for Mono Gateway Development Kit

https://docs.mono.si/gateway-development-kit/getting-started

The device's dts files are located at here

https://github.com/we-are-mono/OpenWRT-ASK/tree/mono-25.12.0-rc3/target/linux/layerscape/files/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale

• We need both mono-gateway-dk-sdk.dts and mono-gateway-dk.dts since the sdk one includes the non-sdk one.
• The actual dts being used is the mono-gateway-dk-sdk.dts

Build

To avoid frequent downloading on rebuild. Find and download the latest packages

• kernel - dev/nxplinux.tar.gz
• busybox (for initramfs) - dev/busybox.tar.gz
• CRI-O - dev/crio.tar.gz
• Kubelet - dev/kubelet.tar.gz

Put them into the dev/ directory

make itb # for out/board.itb (contains the kernel and the initramfs)
make release # WORK IN PROGRESS

Architecture

• A/B deployment
• Read-only OS

Upgrade process

Rough idea

./configure
# - asks for some config for kubelet
# - Join a cluster? Start a cluster?

make release

# Copy the new image to the upgrade-scheduler
kubectl cp -n kube-system upgrade-scheduler:/tmp/upgrade.img

# Upgrade scheduler reads the file that issue a self-reboot
reboot

# uboot to boot into partition B

PENDING

tftp (network is required)

setenv ipaddr 10.0.0.153
setenv serverip 10.0.0.129
tftp 0x80000000 board.itb

USB

usb start

fatls usb 0:1   # For fat
ext4ls usb 0:1  # For ext4
fatload usb 0 0x80000000 board.itb

setenv bootargs "console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0x21c0500 root=/dev/ram0 rootwait rw"
