+Buildroot for Embest RIoTboard
|
|
|
+==============================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. Compiling buildroot
|
|
|
+----------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+make riotboard_defconfig
|
|
|
+make
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+2. Installing buildroot
|
|
|
+-----------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Prepare an SD-card and plug it into your card reader. Write the bootloader to
|
|
|
+your SD-card:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+sudo dd if=output/images/u-boot.imx of=/dev/sdX bs=1k seek=1
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Create 1 partition on the SD-card using your favourite tool. The partition
|
|
|
+should be big enough to hold your rootfs, for example 128MiB. Here's how an
|
|
|
+example of such partition layout:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
|
|
|
+/dev/sdX1 2048 264191 131072 83 Linux
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Format the SD-card partition with your favourite filesystem:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdX1
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Deploy your rootfs to the SD-card:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+sudo mkdir /mnt/sdcard/
|
|
|
+sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/sdcard/
|
|
|
+sudo tar xf rootfs.tar -C /mnt/sdcard/
|
|
|
+sudo umount /dev/sdX1
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+3. Running buildroot
|
|
|
+--------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Position the board so you can read the label "RIoTboard" on the right side of
|
|
|
+SW1 DIP switches. Configure the SW1 swiches like this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+10100101 (1 means ON position, 0 means OFF position)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Now plug your prepared SD-card in slot J6. Connect a serial console (115200, 8,
|
|
|
+N, 1) to header J18. Connect a 5V/1A power supply to the board and enjoy your
|
|
|
+new toy.
