+Intro
|
|
|
+=====
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This is a board configuration for the apu2 platform by PC Engines.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+https://pcengines.ch/apu2.htm
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Since the apu2 does not have any graphical output, the default configuration
|
|
|
+will ensure that the kernel output as well as the login prompt will be sent to
|
|
|
+the serial port.
|
|

|
|
|
+How to build
|
|
|
+============
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The provided defconfig creates a hybrid isolinux image that can be booted from
|
|
|
+either an USB stick or a CD.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ $ make pcengines_apu2_defconfig
|
|
|
+ $ make
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+How to write to an USB stick
|
|
|
+============================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Once the build process is finished you will have an image
|
|
|
+called "rootfs.iso9660" in the output/images/ directory.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Copy the bootable "rootfs.iso9660" onto the USB stick with "dd":
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ $ sudo dd if=output/images/rootfs.iso9660 of=/dev/sdX bs=1M conv=fsync
|
|
|
+ $ sudo sync
|
|
|

|
|
|
+How to connect to the apu2
|
|
|
+==========================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Connect to the DB9 serial port of the apu2 board (either directly or through a
|
|
|
+USB adapter) with a baudrate of 115200.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For example with miniterm (part of pyserial):
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ $ miniterm.py -f direct /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
