I was recently able to create my initramfs.img and run the following code in it:The idea is that I wanted to check certain data of the device on which the code is running and if everything matches, the system starts and if not, we don't. Plus, remembering the native device at the first launch of the system or script.
I wanted to rewrite this code in C and make it run through the main init. I got the following:To package the script, I installed:
And then packed it in:
The result is something like:
Later, I moved my init_checker to a folder, the folder tree is something like this:Then I write it in init:And I pack it in img:The first time I got an error like ‘can't open splash no such file or directory.’ . Someone recommended me to set the following value for the parameter in cmdline.txt - ‘quiet splash=0’. And now the only thing I get is an error:What could have gone wrong? Some of the recommendations I googled are checking whether the C script is packaged correctly and whether it is static and whether it matches the bit depth of the system, I checked it, it is packaged as 64-bit and I have the same system and everything indicates that it is static.
