      • DC Now BBA patch
    • Wi-Fi to Ethernet bridge (BBA)

These repositories are setup as such:

• All assets for generation/defintition of the image (marketing slide_vga source images, JSON files defining partitions and general OS data)
• Tarballs
  • Marketing.tar (slide_vga images)
  • boot.tar.xz (boot partition image)
  • root.tar.xz (root partition image)
  • These tarballs are stored the respective Sourceforge repos.
    • Tarballs need server/internet raw file access, and are usually >=100MB in size
    • Otherwise would otherwise require pesky Git LFS/quota support on Github

This repository contains:

• repo_list.json
  • Lists of tables to OS distros.
  • Contains 1 entry, points to os_list_v3.json
• os_list_v3.json
  • Lists of all distro images and accompanying data.
  • They point to various JSOn, image, and other data assets online from the respective OS distro repository

Please read the PINN repository for full information on these 2 types of JSON files. General technical information on how to setup a NOOBS image for online server support available on the DreamPi NOOBS page
