I was specifically saying *AArch64* builds of it :)
<samueldr>
I know there are AMIs
<samueldr>
(and it would be exarkun1 who might be more interested into that)
<clever>
this is the script for generating the AMI
<samueldr>
I have zero experience with the whole amazon ecosystem so I sure won't be the one fixing this :)
<samueldr>
(not with that attitude!)
<gchristensen>
you don't need to, samueldr
<gchristensen>
its a pretty simple nix expr / standard system definition
* samueldr
should have kept quiet
<makefu>
i cannot believe it, it seems the eval board from firefly made it through the customs and maybe i even get it tomorrow!
<gchristensen>
nice!
<samueldr>
makefu: :< really jealous as the board that should have been shipped by end-of-october still hasn't shipped
<makefu>
it only took ~5 mails to customs and to deutsche post. now i have a eori number which i will probably use exactly once
<exarkun1>
I think my conclusion for now may be that EC2 does not allow the import of any ARM images.
<exarkun1>
Possibly this isn't completely true and if you are an absolute EC2 Wizard and/or a upstream AWS channel partner it is possible but I am neither.
<gchristensen>
what happens when you try?
<exarkun1>
The import-image task fails with "StatusMessage": "ClientError: Unknown OS / Missing OS files."
<gchristensen>
probably some shenanigans about bootloaders
<exarkun1>
without any details of what it is inspecting to come to that conclusion and I cannot find any documentation that explains what it might be looking at
<exarkun1>
but I did find a page with a whitelist of supported OS
<exarkun1>
I assume there are some lies going on here but I can't see what they are
<gchristensen>
my first step, if I was debugging this, would be to clone a standard aarch64 image and then download it
<exarkun1>
Also found a page that says "Imported Linux VMs must use 64-bit images. Migrating 32-bit Linux images is not supported." (and I am actually trying to import an armv7l image)
