Using PC instead for RPi as a host

[snedosiekov]

Hi Tom

I thinking to try build/deploy rpi-sb-provision on a Debian host from sources. Are there are some blockers to do this?

Looks like I have successfully adopt/install this tool on Ubuntu 24, but in fde-only mode on provision stage got error with gerp on

fastboot -s be102a0e74384533 getvar signed-otp
getvar:signed-otp FAILED (remote: 'Unknown variable')

Are this bootloader env in fde mode should present and have some value ?

script manufacturing-data

SIGNED_OTP="$(metadata_get "signed-otp")"

the logic expect a value

if [ -n "${SIGNED_OTP}" ]; then
SIGNED_OTP_LC="$(printf "%s" "${SIGNED_OTP}" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')"
case "${SIGNED_OTP_LC}" in
present|1|true|yes)
PUBKEY_PROGRAMMED_VALUE="1"
;;
"not present"|notpresent|0|false|no)
PUBKEY_PROGRAMMED_VALUE="0"
;;
*)
: # leave as NULL
;;
esac
fi

but in case I will ignore grep 1 return (set +e) I will got an empty string so variable PUBKEY_PROGRAMMED_VALUE will be empty too

Looks like sed +e help to finish script successfully

Typo in the script - should have been secure-otp, not signed-otp

Otherwise, the only issues I'd anticipate are around dependencies and package availability - rpi-sb-provisioner leans heavily on Raspberry Pi repository packages, many of which will be arm64 or armhf exclusive.
