Inception uses this config to generate a cache.img file that contains the OTA update package, and instructions for android to install the update once it boots into recovery mode [see prerequisites for installing update pkg]. To be able to generate the cache partition though, inception needs to know the path to make_ext4s binary by setting "__config__.target.bin.make_ext4fs.arch.[your_arch]" to path of the binary.

  • update
    • cache
      • sparsed[bool/required] Whether the generated ext4s img should be sparsed or not. The value here depends on how you are going to write the img to your device. Usually true for samsung device that are to be flashed in download mode. Default value is false for non samsung devices
      • out[str/optional] override default output file name
