Prerequisites

Build Environment

Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is recommended. Other Linux distributions or versions may not work as expected.
Important: Windows is not supported.
Space Requirements: At least 10GB of free disk space for building images.
Note: Ensure you clone this repository to a path without spaces. Paths with spaces are not supported by debootstrap.

Docker:
- Docker version 24.0.6 or compatible is required to build Kuiper images.
- If you don’t have Docker installed, follow the installation steps at: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/
Cross-Architecture Support:
- These packages are necessary to build ARM-based images on x86 systems:
  - qemu-user-binfmt: For emulating ARM architecture
  - binfmt-support: To enable execution of binaries from different architectures
You can install them on Debian/Ubuntu with:
```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qemu-user-binfmt binfmt-support
```
Note: The build script automatically registers QEMU emulation handlers when building ARM images on x86 systems. This requires Docker to run with privileged access (using sudo as shown in the build instructions).
