| Nexbox A95X |
| |
| Intro |
| ===== |
| |
| Nexbox A95X is a low cost Android STB based around an Amlogic s905(x) SoC |
| (quad A53), 8/16GB eMMC and 1/2GB RAM. To use this defconfig, wires to the |
| internal UART solder pads must be added. See the linux-meson page for |
| details: |

| |
| Both the s905 (gxbb) and s905x (gxl) variant is supported. |
| |
| This default configuration will allow you to start experimenting with the |
| buildroot environment for the A95X. With the current configuration it will |
| bring-up the board from microSD, and allow access through the serial |
| console. |
| |
| How to build it |
| =============== |
| |
| Configure Buildroot: |
| |
| $ make nexbox_a95x_defconfig |
| |
| Compile everything and build the SD card image: |
| |
| $ make |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| Copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto a microSD card with "dd": |
| |
| $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX |
| |
| How to boot |
| =========== |
| |
| Insert microSD card and connect serial cable. Power board and stop |
| U-Boot by pressing any key. Boot the system by typing: |
| |
| fatload mmc 0:1 0x1070000 boot.scr |
| autoscr 0x1070000 |
