Subject: board/minnowboard-max: Rework to generate SD card image
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e88c82f30d13ac915a0d51742b68a11c6d4d591e;p=buildroot.git

board/minnowboard-max: Rework to generate SD card image

Let's rework the board and config files to use genimage
to generate the SD card image directly.

[Peter: add host-mtools for genimage vfat handling]

-Prepare the SD card for the Minnow Board MAX
+How to get started with the Minnow Board MAX
 ============================================
 
- 1. Partition the SD card with a GPT partition table
+1. Build
 
-    sudo cgdisk /dev/mmcblk0
+  Apply the defconfig:
 
-    Create two partitions:
+  $ make minnowboard_max_defconfig
 
-     a) First partition of a few dozens of megabytes, which will be
-        used to store the bootloader and the kernel image. Type must
-        be EF00 (EFI partition).
+  Add any additional packages required and build:
 
-     b) Second partition of any size, which will be used to store the
-        root filesystem. Type must be 8300 (Linux filesystem)
+  $ make
 
- 2. Prepare the boot partition
+2. Write the SD card
 
-    We will format it, mount it, copy the EFI data generated by
-    Buildroot, and the kernel image.
+  The build process will create a SD card image in output/images.
+  Write the image to an mSD card, insert into the Minnowboard MAX
+  and power the board on.
 
-    sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n boot /dev/mmcblk0p1
-    sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
-    sudo cp -a output/images/efi-part/* /mnt/
-    sudo cp output/images/bzImage /mnt/
-    sudo umount /mnt
+  $ dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/mmcblk0; sync
 
- 3. Prepare the root partition
-
-    We will format it, mount it, and extract the root filesystem.
-
-    sudo mkfs.ext4 -L root /dev/mmcblk0p2
-    sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt
-    sudo tar -C /mnt -xf output/images/rootfs.tar
-    sudo umount /mnt
-
- 4. Enjoy
+3. Enjoy
