Acme Systems Acqua A5
Intro
=====
The Acqua A5 is a system on module based on the Microchip SAMA5D31 SoC:

The files here support configurations that build a microSD image for a
minimal system that can be accessed through the serial console. You will
need an USB-to-serial interface in order to access that console from
your computer:

How to build the image
======================
If you have an Acqua module with 256 MiB of RAM, type:
$ make acmesystems_acqua_a5_256mb_defconfig
If you have the 512 MiB version, type instead:
$ make acmesystems_acqua_a5_512mb_defconfig
You can optionally tweak the configuration and add packages by typing:
$ make menuconfig
Then, proceed with the build:
$ make
How to write the microSD card
=============================
The system image is the file "sdcard.img" in the "output/images"
directory. Write it to the card by invoking:
$ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
where `sdX' is the block device representing the microSD card.
