I'm very close to writing a blog post making a case for TKLPatch in the classroom. Some of you already know that this powerful SDK radically transformed how information systems is taught in our community.
My questions is this: how big a project would it be to modify TKLPatch to generate an .img instead of an ISO? Is that a titanic task? I've partially researched, but really haven't an idea which part of the knot to begin picking at. I have the Raspberry Pi in mind, of course; I believe TKLPatch in combination with the Raspbian has really powerful potential in the classroom.
Maybe the curriculum is broken, with it's focus in cisco, microsoft, and producing hardware and software "technicians." Very help desky. We've made it productive with TKLPatch, which manages to cover curriculum standards while also introducing systems engineering and coding - scripts are something. If they have an audience, then the learning is authentic and relevant to the real world. If the curriculum is broke, TKLPatch is a legitimate patch for it. What would be involved in (or where could we start with) expanding it's use so it outputs .img files for distribution?
What we know: it compiles on rpi running Raspbian (Wheezy) and applies patches beautifully with tklpatch-apply. Full stop.
