BeagleBone
Intro
=====
To be able to use BeagleBone board with the images generated by
Buildroot, you have to prepare the SDCard.
How to build it
===============
$ make beaglebone_defconfig
Then you can edit the build options using
$ make menuconfig
Compile all and build rootfs image:
$ make
Result of the build
-------------------
After building, you should get a tree like this:
output/images/
├── am335x-boneblack.dtb
├── am335x-bone.dtb
├── MLO
├── rootfs.ext2
├── sdcard.img
├── u-boot.img
├── uEnv.txt
└── zImage
How to write the microSD 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
