Flashing

You can flash Grml onto an SD-Card using bmaptool and PGP verification using the following command:

sudo bmaptool copy --fingerprint 3AC6EB840FA5CE3FF31BAD80EF93221F8A44FEB2 --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg https://reform.debian.net/grml/reform-system-any.img /dev/mmcblkX

Make sure to replace /dev/mmcblkX with the name of your SD-Card device of your computer. bmaptool will make sure not to accidentally overwrite any drive which is currently in use. For more guidance, see either directly below or the instructions about flashing.

Summary

Grml is a bootable live system based on Debian. Grml provides a selection of software packages for installation, deployment and system rescue. The images will boot on all MNT Reform platforms but are customized with extra functionality for i.MX8MQ classic Reforms as those are the only platform supporting X11 with a special Xorg.conf for etnaviv. This makes it possible to start Fluxbox via grml-x. The image comes with U-Boot for i.MX8MQ (which will be ignored by the other platforms).
