  1. Buildroot for Embest RIoTboard
  2. ==============================
  3. This is a small development board, based on Freescale IMX6 Solo SoC
  4. (single core ARM Cortex-A9).
  5. More details about the board can be found at:
  6. http://www.embest-tech.com/riotboard
  7. 1. Compiling buildroot
  8. ----------------------
  9. $ make riotboard_defconfig
  10. $ make
  11. 2. Installing buildroot
  12. -----------------------
  13. Prepare an SD-card and plug it into your card reader. Always double
  14. check the block device before writing to it, as writing to the wrong
  15. block device can cause irrecoverable data loss. Now you can write the
  16. image to your SD-card:
  17. sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/<sdcard-block-device> bs=1M
  18. 3. Running buildroot
  19. --------------------
  20. Position the board so you can read the label "RIoTboard" on the right
  21. side of SW1 DIP switches. Configure the SW1 swiches like this:
  22. 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1
  23. ON OFF ON OFF OFF ON OFF ON
  24. Now plug your prepared SD-card in slot J6. Connect a serial console
  25. (115200, 8, N, 1) to header J18. Connect a 5V/1A power supply to the
  26. board and enjoy.
