10 2. Installing buildroot
11 -----------------------
13 Prepare an SD-card and plug it into your card reader. Write the bootloader to
16 sudo dd if=output/images/u-boot.imx of=/dev/sdX bs=1k seek=1
18 Create 1 partition on the SD-card using your favourite tool. The
19 partition should be big enough to hold your rootfs, for example
20 128MiB. Here's an example partition layout:
22 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
23 /dev/sdX1 2048 264191 131072 83 Linux
25 Format the SD-card partition with your favourite filesystem:
27 sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdX1
29 Deploy your rootfs to the SD-card:
31 sudo mkdir /mnt/sdcard/
32 sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/sdcard/
33 sudo tar xf output/images/rootfs.tar -C /mnt/sdcard/
39 Position the board so you can read the label "RIoTboard" on the right side of
40 SW1 DIP switches. Configure the SW1 swiches like this:
42 10100101 (1 means ON position, 0 means OFF position)
44 Now plug your prepared SD-card in slot J6. Connect a serial console (115200, 8,
45 N, 1) to header J18. Connect a 5V/1A power supply to the board and enjoy your
