iMX233-OLinuXino-Micro Image with Buildroot

CamCorder-Buildroot

This is a buildroot project creating a bootable SD card Image for the Olimex iMX233-OLinuXino-Micro (and all other boards of this series).

U-Boot is used instead of the MXS-Bootlets to support SDHC cards. The current mainline Linux Kernel (4.4.1) has been used.

For more informations, read my blog post about this project.

Getting started

To build, first load the configuration, edit it if neccessary, and run the build:

./build.sh olinuxino_defconfig
./build.sh menuconfig
./build.sh

If this succeeds, insert your SD card, find out it’s identifier, and run this (replace sdc with your disk!):

./flash.sh /dev/sdc

Then eject the card, insert it into the OLinuXino, apply power and watch the boot console on the Debug Serial port.

Sources

This is mostly based on the olinuxino_defconfig included with buildroot. To get U-Boot to compile for the OLinuXino, I included this patch from here.
