Hi All,

 

I'm new to ISAR and was told it's an efficient project for building embedded OS images.

I'm currently trying to create an Ubuntu Noble (24.04) image for the RISC-V architecture.

 

I gave it a quick try, but ran into some issues:

Step 1: KAS_ALLOW_ROOT=yes ./kas/kas-container menu

Step 2: KAS_ALLOW_ROOT=yes ./kas/kas-container build (or use the "Build" option from the menu)

 

I've attached my configuration files (generated by kas-container) along with the error log dumped by ISAR during the build process.

 

Another question I have is about the concepts of "target" and "host".

After reading as much documentation on ISAR as I could find, I'm still a bit confused:

 

Why do we need a "host" rootfs/distro, given that ISAR runs inside the kas-isar Docker container, which I assume already acts as the host environment?

What I’m aiming for with this project is to generate an image that can be run in QEMU or flashed to a disk — that would be the target distro, right?

 

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks
