| Introduction |
| ============ |
| |
| The 'ci20_defconfig' will create a root filesystem and a kernel image |
| under the 'output/images/' directory. This document will try to explain how |
| to use them in order to run Buildroot in the MIPS Creator CI20 board. |
| |
| How to build it |
| =============== |
| |
| Configure Buildroot |
| ------------------- |
| |
| $ make ci20_defconfig |
| |
| Build the rootfs |
| ---------------- |
| |
| Note: you will need to have access to the network, since Buildroot will |
| download the packages' sources. |
| |
| You may now build your rootfs with: |
| |
| $ make |
| |
| (This may take a while, consider getting yourself a coffee ;-) ) |
| |
| How to write the SD card |
| ======================== |
| |
| Once the build process is finished you will have an image called |
| "sdcard.img" in the output/images/ directory. |
| |
| Make sure the SD card is not mounted then copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto |
| it with "dd": |
| |
| $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX |
| |
| Insert the SDcard into your ci20, and power it up. Your new system |
| should come up now and start a console on the UART HEADER. |
