-Building the rabian image basically contains two tasks, generate the rootfs and build the rock-bsp.
+check [[Rabian/develop]] for how to build and contribute to Rabian.
-===Rootfs===
-We use live build the generate the Rabian Rootfs. The configuration files for live build can be found at radxa github. Below is how to generate the rootfs.
-    mkdir rabian-build
-    export BOARD=rock        # or rock_pro/rock_lite/rock2_square
-    sudo apt-get install debootstrap live-build
-    sudo apt-get install dctrl-tools mtools parted squashfs-tools
-    git clone https://github.com/radxa/radxa-lb.git
-    cd radxa-lb
-    sudo make $BOARD
-    cd ..
-You will have the rootfs for your board.
-===Everything else(Bootloader/kernel)===
-Rock-bsp is the tools we use to pack u-boot,kernel and rootfs into a NAND or eMMC or SDcard image for radxa boards.
-First, get the image name we built with radxa-lb just now.
-    export IMAGE=$(basename radxa-lb/rabian_${BOARD}_*.ext4)
-    sudo apt-get install build-essential lzop libncurses5-dev libssl-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev
-    sudo apt-get install libc6-i386
-    git clone https://github.com/radxa/rock-bsp.git
-    cd rock-bsp
-Use the rootfs we build
-    echo "BOARD_ROOTFS=${IMAGE}" >> rock-bsp/configs/${BOARD}_config
-    cd rock-bsp
-    ./config.sh  $BOARD
-    make
-If everything goes well, we will have the Rabian image for $BOARD.
