Intro
=====
This directory contains a buildroot configuration for building a
LicheePi Zero.
How to build it
===============
Configure Buildroot
-------------------
$ make licheepi_zero_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 ;-) )
Result of the build
-------------------
After building, you should obtain this tree:
output/images/
+-- boot.scr
+-- boot.vfat
+-- rootfs.ext2
+-- rootfs.ext4 -> rootfs.ext2
+-- rootfs.tar
+-- sdcard.img
+-- sun8i-v3s-licheepi-zero-dock.dtb
+-- sun8i-v3s-licheepi-zero.dtb
+-- u-boot.bin
+-- u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
`-- zImage
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 an SD card with "dd":
$ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
Alternatively, you can use the Etcher graphical tool to burn the image
to the SD card safely and on any platform:

Once the SD card is burned, insert it into your LicheePi Zero board,
and power it up. Your new system should come up now and start a
console on the UART0 serial port.
