| cubieboard and cubieboard2 |
| |
| ----- |
| Intro |
| ----- |
| |
| To be able to use your cubieboard board with the images generated by |
| Buildroot you have to correctly setup the SD card. |
| |
| For more information, please see http://linux-sunxi.org/FirstSteps |
| |
| --------------- |
| How to build it |
| --------------- |
| |
| You need to use the cubieboard_defconfig or cubieboard2_defconfig, to do so: |
| * make cubieboard_defconfig |
| or |
| * make cubieboard2_defconfig |
| |
| And to compile: |
| * make |
| |
| ----------------- |
| What is generated |
| ----------------- |
| |
| After building, you should obtain this tree: |
| |
| output/images/ |
| +-- rootfs.tar |
| +-- boot.scr |
| +-- script.bin |
| +-- sunxi-spl.bin |
| +-- u-boot.bin |
| +-- u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin (optional) |
| `-- uImage |
| |
| -------------------------- |
| How setting up the SD card |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| Depending on the rootfs size, you might want to use a 2GB or larger SD-card. |
| The script mkcubiecard.sh will take care of partitioning and formatting |
| the SD-card. |
| |
| BEWARE! This process will erase your SD card. |
| |
| Use dmesg to find out where the SD card is attached in the /dev tree |
| (<device>) and then: |
| |
| # sudo ./mkcubiecard.sh <images_dir> <device> |
| |
| where: |
| - <images_dir> is the directory containing the generated files (usually |
| output/images) |
| - <device> is the device file of the SD card (usually /dev/sdX) |
