| 1. Compiling buildroot |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| $ make riotboard_defconfig |
| $ make |
| |
| 2. Installing buildroot |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| Prepare an SD-card and plug it into your card reader. Always double |
| check the block device before writing to it, as writing to the wrong |
| block device can cause irrecoverable data loss. Now you can write the |
| image to your SD-card: |
| |
| sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/<sdcard-block-device> bs=1M |
| |
| 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: |
| |
| 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 |
| ON OFF ON OFF OFF ON OFF ON |
| |
| 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. |
