Notes on Chromium OS for ARM

各位新年快樂! ULLab 的團隊成員除了在年假中加緊趕工, 為 xPUD 新版本加入平板模式 (tablet mode) 的支援外, 也「嘴巴說不要、身體卻很誠實」地接了一些 Chrome OS 的客製化案子.



如同之前提到的, 第一版的 Chrome OS 建置方式著實有點虛弱, 無法滿足不同平台或是未來實做各項功能的需求, 因此我們可以發現 Google 動作很快的提出了一些改進, 改用了一套新的 build system, 主要有兩個特點:

• 採用 Gentoo Linux 的 portage 作為套件管理/編譯系統
  
• 目前只支援 64 位元的平台

我們比較關注的 ebuild 目前都放在 ~/trunk/src/third_party/chromiumos-overlay/chromeos-base/ 底下, 若是熟悉 Gentoo 的話照著文件也可以輕易上手.

寫給自己的一些骯髒溫馨小提示:

• 為了略過一些套件或修正編譯問題, 改完 ebuild 以後要重新產生 Manifest, 如 ebuild ~/trunk/src/third_party/chromiumos-overlay/chromeos-base/chromeos-chrome-bin/chromeos-chrome-bin-0.0.1-r1.ebuild manifest
  
• 若有自己重打包原始碼放在 /var/lib/portage/distfiles/, 要重算 du -b, rmd160 -x, sha1sum 和 sha256sum. (太髒了不推薦 XD)

另外有別於一般的 chromium 瀏覽器, 我們需要的是 "chromeos" 版的 (這樣才有左上角的 Panel), 在取得原始碼後:

• 於 .gclient 中加入:

  { "name"        : "cros_deps",
     "url"         : "http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/cros_deps",
   } ,

• 設定 GYP_DEFINES=chromeos=1
  
• 執行 gclient sync --deps="unix,chromeos"

其他的部份可參考文件 Building Chromium for ARM 和 Build instructions for Linux.

THOUGHTS ON IPAD

http://jiwostudio.com/archives/1942

xPUD 火力展示：全世界最小的 Chromium OS

下載: minimized-chromiumos.iso (58MB)

xPUD 專案的特色一向是強調活動規劃式 (activity-based) 的介面、對既有程式與網頁的整合、以及降低網頁開發者撰寫客製化介面的門檻。很高興 Google 的 Chrome OS 專案與 xPUD 團隊對於未來的作業系統分享著一些共通的觀點，儘管我們說著不同的故事，但有著相似的看法。

在測試過 Chromium OS 及其編譯系統後，我們發現這是一個絕佳的機會，可以藉此展示 xPUD 的彈性與縮小體積的能力。因此我們很高興的釋出此一實驗性質的版本：Minimized Chromium OS。相較於一般動輒 2G~4G 的映像檔，xPUD 的編譯系統 mkxpud 成功地將整個系統體積縮小為不到 60MB。

注意：這個版本並不適用於一般使用者的日常使用，更多資訊請參考以下關於技術細節的段落。

安裝方式

就像每一個 xPUD 檔案一樣，這個 ISO 本身是 LiveCD 也是可開機的混合式映像檔 (hybrid iso image)。因此製作可開機隨身碟的方式非常簡單，直接使用 dd 指令即可：

# dd bs=4096 if=minimized-chromiumos.iso of=/dev/sdX

主要功能

• 縮小的系統：基本系統 (32MB)；瀏覽器 (18MB)；輸入法 (8MB)
  
• 跳過開機畫面與登入選單
  
• Chromium OS 瀏覽器與外掛 (不包含 DeviceKit 所以電量顯示沒有作用)
  
• 中文字型與常見輸入法

技術細節

其實根據官方的文件顯示，第一階段的 Chromium OS 實作真的沒有什麼特別，說穿了不過就是個 Ubuntu 系統加上瀏覽器，以及用 Clutter 寫成的視窗管理程式。

開機流程當中，以樹狀圖來看就是

slim
|-- Xorg
`-- ck-launch-session
          `-- chromeos-wm -+-chromeos-chrome

由 /sbin/chromeos-startup 這隻程式叫出開機畫面，透過 SLiM 進行登入管理，在使用者登入後，執行 /etc/X11/chromeos-xsession 開啟視窗管理程式 /usr/bin/chromeos-wm，並透過無限迴圈的 /usr/bin/chromeos-chrome-loop 確保瀏覽器不會被關掉。

這是一個在接案子的過程中產生的有趣實驗，我們的用意是以此來探討 Chromium OS 的客製化與開機流程，也歡迎有興趣加入參與 xPUD 開發的人敬請指教。 :-)
