Pandaboard

==========

​

This file documents the Buildroot support for the Pandaboard, a

low-power, low-cost single-board computer development platform based

on the Texas Instruments OMAP4 system on a chip (SoC).

​

Configuring and building Buildroot

----------------------------------

​

Start from the defconfig:

​

  $ make pandaboard_defconfig

​

You can edit build options the usual way:

​

  $ make menuconfig

​

When you are happy with the setup, run:

​

  $ make

​

The result of the build with the default settings should be these files:

​

  output/images

  ├── MLO

  ├── omap4-panda-a4.dtb

  ├── omap4-panda.dtb

  ├── omap4-panda-es.dtb

  ├── rootfs.ext4

  ├── sdcard.img

  ├── u-boot.img

  └── zImage

​

How to write the SD card

------------------------

​

Once the build process is finished you will have an image called "sdcard.img"

in the output/images/ directory.

​

Copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto an SD card with "dd":

​

  $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX

​

Where /dev/sdX is the device node of your SD card (may be /dev/mmcblkX

instead depending on setup).
