  4. Introduction
  5. ============
  6. The 'ci20_defconfig' will create a root filesystem and a kernel image
  7. under the 'output/images/' directory. This document will try to explain how
  8. to use them in order to run Buildroot in the MIPS Creator CI20 board.
  9. How to build it
  10. ===============
  11. Configure Buildroot
  12. -------------------
  13. $ make ci20_defconfig
  14. Build the rootfs
  15. ----------------
  16. Note: you will need to have access to the network, since Buildroot will
  17. download the packages' sources.
  18. You may now build your rootfs with:
  19. $ make
  20. (This may take a while, consider getting yourself a coffee ;-) )
  21. How to write the SD card
  22. ========================
  23. Once the build process is finished you will have an image called
  24. "sdcard.img" in the output/images/ directory.
  25. Make sure the SD card is not mounted then copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto
  26. it with "dd":
  27. $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
  28. Insert the SDcard into your ci20, and power it up. Your new system
  29. should come up now and start a console on the UART HEADER.
