  1. Intro
  2. =====
  3. This is a board configuration for the apu2 platform by PC Engines.
  4. https://pcengines.ch/apu2.htm
  5. Since the apu2 does not have any graphical output, the default configuration
  6. will ensure that the kernel output as well as the login prompt will be sent to
  7. the serial port.
  8. How to build
  9. ============
  10. The provided defconfig creates a hybrid isolinux image that can be booted from
  11. either an USB stick or a CD.
  12. $ make pcengines_apu2_defconfig
  13. $ make
  14. How to write to an USB stick
  15. ============================
  16. Once the build process is finished you will have an image
  17. called "rootfs.iso9660" in the output/images/ directory.
  18. Copy the bootable "rootfs.iso9660" onto the USB stick with "dd":
  19. $ sudo dd if=output/images/rootfs.iso9660 of=/dev/sdX bs=1M conv=fsync
  20. $ sudo sync
  21. How to connect to the apu2
  22. ==========================
  23. Connect to the DB9 serial port of the apu2 board (either directly or through a
  24. USB adapter) with a baudrate of 115200.
  25. For example with miniterm (part of pyserial):
  26. $ miniterm.py -f direct /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
