Intro
|
||
|
|
=====
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a board configuration for the apu2 platform by PC Engines.

|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Since the apu2 does not have any graphical output, the default configuration
|
||
|
|
will ensure that the kernel output as well as the login prompt will be sent to
|
||
|
|
the serial port.

How to build
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The provided defconfig creates a hybrid isolinux image that can be booted from
|
||
|
|
either an USB stick or a CD.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ make pcengines_apu2_defconfig
|
||
|
|
$ make
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How to write to an USB stick
|
||
|
|
============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the build process is finished you will have an image
|
||
|
|
called "rootfs.iso9660" in the output/images/ directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Copy the bootable "rootfs.iso9660" onto the USB stick with "dd":
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ sudo dd if=output/images/rootfs.iso9660 of=/dev/sdX bs=1M conv=fsync
|
||
|
|
$ sudo sync
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How to connect to the apu2
|
||
|
|
==========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Connect to the DB9 serial port of the apu2 board (either directly or through a
|
||
|
|
USB adapter) with a baudrate of 115200.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example with miniterm (part of pyserial):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ miniterm.py -f direct /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
