Bootstrap instructions are debian specific

[mballance]

@mithro says "Everything else should work but the bootstrap is debian specific."

Work in progress at https://github.com/timvideos/litex-buildenv/pull/132

[mithro]

This has been fixed in #132.

• The download-env-root.sh script has been renamed to debian-setup.sh.
• bootstrap.sh script only calls debian-setup.sh on Debian / Ubuntu systems. Otherwise it checks for the few things needed and tells you to install them.

@mithro I think the grep -v is wrong, the -v at https://github.com/timvideos/litex-buildenv/blob/master/scripts/bootstrap.sh#L42 the logic I don't think we want this here. On archlinux I see it try to run the debian script.

bash: line 43: ./scripts/debian-setup.sh: No such file or directory

Also when running bootstrap via curl as per wiki the other scripts won't be present.

@TomKeddie You seem to be correct, it should be grep -q -- Do you want to submit your first pull request for fixing that?

Regarding;

Notice the script clones the github repository and then runs the scripts? See the following lines;

I see the problem now, the bootstrap instructions pull bootstrap.sh from litex-buildenv but it clones HDMI2USB-litex-firmware which doesn't have the changes, would you prefer the wiki point to HDMI2USB-litex-firmware for bootstrap?

[mithro]

@TomKeddie I think LiteX-BuildEnv is probably the right default?

[TomKeddie]

@mithro I'm not sure what the grand plan is but I think the script and wiki should should be consistent, should I do a PR for bootstrap.sh then?

[mithro]

@TomKeddie We are making it up as we go along :-)

LiteX-BuildEnv is a rename of HDMI2USB-litex-firmware to indicate that it can be used for more than just the HDMI2USB-litex-firmware. At some point it would be nice to make HDMi2USB-litex-firmware just a derivative of the LiteX-BuildEnv which adds the HDMI2USB specific features but have not had the time to do that. (Very long term we would also like to probably rewrite a lot of LiteX-BuildEnv as proposed in this document).

Sounds reasonable to do such a pull request.
