Intro
|
=====
|
|
This directory contains a buildroot configuration for building a
|
LicheePi Zero.
|
|
How to build it
|
===============
|
|
Configure Buildroot
|
-------------------
|
|
$ make licheepi_zero_defconfig
|
|
Build the rootfs
|
----------------
|
|
Note: you will need to have access to the network, since Buildroot
|
will download the packages' sources.
|
|
You may now build your rootfs with:
|
|
$ make
|
|
(This may take a while, consider getting yourself a coffee ;-) )
|
|
Result of the build
|
-------------------
|
|
After building, you should obtain this tree:
|
|
output/images/
|
+-- boot.scr
|
+-- boot.vfat
|
+-- rootfs.ext2
|
+-- rootfs.ext4 -> rootfs.ext2
|
+-- rootfs.tar
|
+-- sdcard.img
|
+-- sun8i-v3s-licheepi-zero-dock.dtb
|
+-- sun8i-v3s-licheepi-zero.dtb
|
+-- u-boot.bin
|
+-- u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
|
`-- zImage
|
|
How to write the SD 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
|
|
Alternatively, you can use the Etcher graphical tool to burn the image
|
to the SD card safely and on any platform:
|
|
https://etcher.io/
|
|
Once the SD card is burned, insert it into your LicheePi Zero board,
|
and power it up. Your new system should come up now and start a
|
console on the UART0 serial port.
