-if used via a usb card reader):
+From a Linux system with access to the image files perform the following steps:
- 1. Partition and format an SD card:
- # fdisk -lu /dev/mmcblk0
+ 1. Build an image. For example:
- Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 3951 MB, 3951034368 bytes
- 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 480 cylinders, total 7716864 sectors
- Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
-
- Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
- /dev/mmcblk0p1 * 63 144584 72261 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
- /dev/mmcblk0p2 144585 465884 160650 83 Linux
-
- # mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n "boot" /dev/mmcblk0p1
- # mke2fs -j -L "root" /dev/mmcblk0p2
-
- The following assumes the SD card partitions 1 and 2 are mounted at
- /media/boot and /media/root respectively. Removing the card and reinserting
- it will do just that on most modern Linux desktop environments.
-
- The files referenced below are made available after the build in
- build/tmp/deploy/images.
-
- 2. Install the boot loaders
- # cp MLO-beaglebone /media/boot/MLO
- # cp u-boot-beaglebone.img /media/boot/u-boot.img
-
- 3. Install the root filesystem
- # tar x -C /media/root -f core-image-$IMAGE_TYPE-beaglebone.tar.bz2
-
- 4. If using core-image-base or core-image-sato images, the SD card is ready
- and rootfs already contains the kernel, modules and device tree (DTB)
- files necessary to be booted with U-boot's default configuration, so
- skip directly to step 8.
- For core-image-minimal, proceed through next steps.
-
- 5. If using core-image-minimal rootfs, install the modules
- # tar x -C /media/root -f modules-beaglebone.tgz
-
- 6. If using core-image-minimal rootfs, install the kernel zImage into /boot
- directory of rootfs
- # cp zImage-beaglebone.bin /media/root/boot/zImage
+ $ bitbake core-image-minimal
- 7. If using core-image-minimal rootfs, also install device tree (DTB) files
- into /boot directory of rootfs
- # cp zImage-am335x-bone.dtb /media/root/boot/am335x-bone.dtb
- # cp zImage-am335x-boneblack.dtb /media/root/boot/am335x-boneblack.dtb
+ 2. Use the "dd" utility to write the image to the SD card. For example:
- 8. Unmount the SD partitions, insert the SD card into the Beaglebone, and
- boot the Beaglebone
+ # dd core-image-minimal-beaglebone.wic of=/dev/sdb
+ 3. Insert the SD card into the Beaglebone and boot the board.
