SparkOS UEFI-Bootable Disk Image
==================================
This package contains a compressed ext4 filesystem image with SparkOS.
This package contains a UEFI-bootable disk image with SparkOS.
Files:
- sparkos.img.gz - Compressed ext4 filesystem image (512MB)
- sparkos.img.gz - Compressed UEFI-bootable disk image (~1GB)
What's Included:
---------------
The image contains:
- SparkOS init system (/sbin/init)
- Basic filesystem structure (FHS compliant)
- Configuration files
✓ GPT partition table
✓ EFI System Partition (ESP) with FAT32 filesystem
✓ GRUB UEFI bootloader
✓ Linux kernel
✓ SparkOS init system
✓ Busybox utilities
✓ Basic FHS-compliant filesystem structure
Note: This is a minimal filesystem image. For full booting, you need:
- Linux kernel (install to /boot/vmlinuz)
- Busybox (install to /bin/busybox)
- Bootloader (GRUB or syslinux)
Boot Support:
------------
✓ UEFI boot (x86_64 systems)
✓ Automatic boot after 3 seconds
✓ Console on tty1

# SparkOS Disk Image Release ${{ github.ref_name }}
# SparkOS UEFI-Bootable Disk Image Release ${{ github.ref_name }}
This release includes a filesystem disk image with the SparkOS init system.
This release includes a **UEFI-bootable** disk image with SparkOS.
## What's Included
- **sparkos-image.zip**: Complete package with image and README
- **sparkos.img.gz**: Compressed ext4 filesystem image (512MB)
- **sparkos.img.gz**: Compressed UEFI-bootable disk image (~1GB)
## What This Image Contains
## Features
The disk image includes:
- ✅ SparkOS init system binary (statically linked)
- ✅ FHS-compliant filesystem structure
- ✅ Basic configuration files
**Note**: This is a minimal filesystem image. For full booting, you'll need to add:
- Linux kernel
- Busybox utilities
- Bootloader (GRUB or syslinux)
See the [documentation](https://github.com/johndoe6345789/SparkOS#creating-a-bootable-image) for details.
✅ **UEFI Boot Support** - Boot on modern UEFI systems
✅ **GPT Partition Table** - Modern partitioning scheme
✅ **GRUB Bootloader** - Reliable UEFI bootloader
✅ **Linux Kernel** - Full kernel included
✅ **SparkOS Init System** - Custom init with busybox
✅ **Ready to Boot** - Write to USB and boot immediately
## Quick Start
### Mount and Inspect
### Write to USB and Boot
```bash
# Download and decompress
wget https://github.com/johndoe6345789/SparkOS/releases/download/${{ github.ref_name }}/sparkos.img.gz
gunzip sparkos.img.gz
# Mount and inspect
sudo mount -o loop sparkos.img /mnt
ls -la /mnt
sudo umount /mnt
# Write to USB drive (Linux - BE CAREFUL!)
sudo dd if=sparkos.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync
```
### Write to USB (Testing)
**⚠️ WARNING**: Replace `/dev/sdX` with your actual USB device (e.g., `/dev/sdb`). This will **ERASE ALL DATA** on the target drive!
### Boot Instructions
1. Insert the USB drive into a UEFI-capable system
2. Enter BIOS/UEFI settings (usually F2, F12, DEL, or ESC at boot)
3. Select the USB drive as boot device
4. SparkOS will boot automatically after 3 seconds
### Inspect Partitions (Advanced)
```bash
# Write to USB drive (Linux - BE CAREFUL!)
sudo dd if=sparkos.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress
sudo sync
# Set up loop device
LOOP_DEV=$(sudo losetup -fP --show sparkos.img)
# Mount ESP (EFI System Partition)
sudo mount ${LOOP_DEV}p1 /mnt
ls -la /mnt/EFI # View bootloader and kernel
sudo umount /mnt
# Mount root partition
sudo mount ${LOOP_DEV}p2 /mnt
ls -la /mnt # View SparkOS filesystem
sudo umount /mnt
# Cleanup
sudo losetup -d $LOOP_DEV
```
**⚠️ WARNING**: Replace `/dev/sdX` with your actual USB device. This will erase all data on the target drive!
## Technical Details
- **Size**: ~1GB (compressed)
- **Partition Table**: GPT
- **ESP**: 200MB FAT32 (EFI System Partition)
- **Root**: ~800MB ext4
- **Bootloader**: GRUB (UEFI)
- **Kernel**: Linux kernel (from Ubuntu)
- **Init**: SparkOS custom init system
- **Shell**: Busybox

SparkOS UEFI-Bootable Image
This is a minimal ext4 filesystem image containing the SparkOS init system.
This is NOT a fully bootable image - it requires additional components.
This is a UEFI-bootable disk image with:
- GPT partition table
- EFI System Partition (ESP) with FAT32 filesystem
- GRUB UEFI bootloader
- Linux kernel
- SparkOS init system
- Busybox utilities
What's included:
- SparkOS init binary (/sbin/init)
- Basic FHS-compliant directory structure
- Basic configuration files
The image can be written to a USB drive and booted on UEFI systems:
sudo dd if=sparkos.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress
sudo sync
To make this fully bootable, you need to add:
1. Linux kernel (install to /boot/vmlinuz)
2. Busybox (install to /bin/busybox and create symlinks)
3. Bootloader (GRUB or syslinux)
4. Required libraries (if using dynamically linked binaries)
This image can be mounted to extract the init binary or inspect the structure:
sudo mount -o loop sparkos.img /mnt
cp /mnt/sbin/init ./
sudo umount /mnt
Boot options:
- UEFI boot support (tested on x86_64 systems)
- Automatic boot after 3 seconds
- Console on tty1
