This is one of the first things any new comer to the developer side of the project will want to attempt. This image builder is really designed to distribute images. It takes a base image, downloads and installs packages we need (some our own and others from sources), then applies patches and other changes to suit our needs.

As of now in all repos “master” branch is referred to as 3.0 and is the new stuff. Branch “2.0” is the working current version of OpenHD for the pi as of this writing. In a few places (cloudsmith or maybe droneio) there are “2.1” references which again is the “new” 3.0

Instructions for build:\
`git clone https://github.com/OpenHD/Open.HD_Image_Builder.git`\
`cd Open.HD_Image_Builder`\
`git checkout 2.0`

`./build.sh pi buster 2.0.10`

NOTE for Master branch the build.sh is slightly different where you will have to go into another script and change the package target.\
In a text editor go to: `00-run-chroot.sh` This is NOT REQUIRED FOR 2.0 BRANCH

{% hint style="info" %}
Option
{% endhint %}

To change the target package of the build in 2.0 go to stage 2 of the builder and modify 00-run-chroot (only change the bright green fields)

The gpg signing key and links are found on cloudsmith with the package you are targeting\
Also change in that same script

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://openhd.gitbook.io/open-hd/master/developer-corner/building-an-image.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
