The files here support configurations that build a microSD image for a
|
minimal system that can be accessed through the serial console. You will
|
need an USB-to-serial interface in order to access that console from
|
your computer:

How to build the image
|
======================
|
|
If you have an Acqua module with 256 MiB of RAM, type:
|
|
$ make acmesystems_acqua_a5_256mb_defconfig
|
|
If you have the 512 MiB version, type instead:
|
|
$ make acmesystems_acqua_a5_512mb_defconfig
|
|
You can optionally tweak the configuration and add packages by typing:
|
|
$ make menuconfig
|
|
Then, proceed with the build:
|
|
$ make
|
|
How to write the microSD card
|
=============================
|
|
The system image is the file "sdcard.img" in the "output/images"
|
directory. Write it to the card by invoking:
|
|
$ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
|
|
where `sdX' is the block device representing the microSD card.
