-Prepare the SD card for the Minnow Board MAX
+How to get started with the Minnow Board MAX
============================================
- 1. Partition the SD card with a GPT partition table
+1. Build
- sudo cgdisk /dev/mmcblk0
+ Apply the defconfig:
- Create two partitions:
+ $ make minnowboard_max_defconfig
- a) First partition of a few dozens of megabytes, which will be
- used to store the bootloader and the kernel image. Type must
- be EF00 (EFI partition).
+ Add any additional packages required and build:
- b) Second partition of any size, which will be used to store the
- root filesystem. Type must be 8300 (Linux filesystem)
+ $ make
- 2. Prepare the boot partition
+2. Write the SD card
- We will format it, mount it, copy the EFI data generated by
- Buildroot, and the kernel image.
+ The build process will create a SD card image in output/images.
+ Write the image to an mSD card, insert into the Minnowboard MAX
+ and power the board on.
- sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n boot /dev/mmcblk0p1
- sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
- sudo cp -a output/images/efi-part/* /mnt/
- sudo cp output/images/bzImage /mnt/
- sudo umount /mnt
+ $ dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/mmcblk0; sync
- 3. Prepare the root partition
-
- We will format it, mount it, and extract the root filesystem.
-
- sudo mkfs.ext4 -L root /dev/mmcblk0p2
- sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt
- sudo tar -C /mnt -xf output/images/rootfs.tar
- sudo umount /mnt
-
- 4. Enjoy
