From f728b4a05500686700a4d9618b0ccc233dde2a3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2019 16:21:24 +0100 Subject: [libre-testing]: barebox: Add installation instructions The barebox binaries built with this package were tested with a beaglebone green, with an already configured barebox environment. The system booted fine. TODO before migrating to libre: - Package the utilities - Make sure that Parabola can fully boot once barebox is installed, without having to mess with the environment through the serial port. TODO: - Add an installation script to install barebox in a way that is similar to what people are used with GRUB. - Enable USB console at boot - Add support for other architectures (i686, x86_64) Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli --- libre-testing/barebox/barebox.install | 33 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 33 insertions(+) create mode 100644 libre-testing/barebox/barebox.install (limited to 'libre-testing/barebox/barebox.install') diff --git a/libre-testing/barebox/barebox.install b/libre-testing/barebox/barebox.install new file mode 100644 index 000000000..dfe689b82 --- /dev/null +++ b/libre-testing/barebox/barebox.install @@ -0,0 +1,33 @@ +install_barebox() { + echo "To install barebox on supported am335x computers , you need to first make sure that:" + echo "- Your board is capable of booting from microSD or eMMC" + echo " For that it's best to consult your board documentation to see:" + echo " - which boot media it supports" + echo " - in which order it tries to boot on them" + echo "- The boot media(the microSD or eMMC) is partitioned with MBR" + echo "- The boot partition has the bootable flag set.
