5Introduction
6============
7
8The 'ci20_defconfig' will create a root filesystem and a kernel image
9under the 'output/images/' directory. This document will try to explain how
10to use them in order to run Buildroot in the MIPS Creator CI20 board.
11
12How to build it
13===============
14
15Configure Buildroot
16-------------------
17
18 $ make ci20_defconfig
19
20Build the rootfs
21----------------
22
23Note: you will need to have access to the network, since Buildroot will
24download the packages' sources.
25
26You may now build your rootfs with:
27
28 $ make
29
30(This may take a while, consider getting yourself a coffee ;-) )
31
32How to write the SD card
33========================
34
35Once the build process is finished you will have an image called
36"sdcard.img" in the output/images/ directory.
37
38Make sure the SD card is not mounted then copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto
39it with "dd":
40
41 $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
42
43Insert the SDcard into your ci20, and power it up. Your new system
44should come up now and start a console on the UART HEADER.
