Tip
|
Replace kernel_dir with the distribution kernel directory and kernel_branch with appropriate release version. |
Build the image with make command. To speed up the build process, you can utilize multiple cores with the following command:
make -j$(($(nproc)+1))
SD card will most likely be /dev/mmcblk0, we can can check with lsblk:
~$ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 238.5G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot └─sda2 8:2 0 238G 0 part / sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom mmcblk0 179:0 0 478M 1 disk └─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 478M 1 part
Clear the SD card:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M count=100
Create a new partition on the SD card and format it as ext3:
sudo su
fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.29.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

Mount the partition and copy the rootfs on it:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt mkdir -p /mnt/boot cp bin/mvebu64/armada-8040-mcbin.dtb /mnt/boot cp bin/mvebu64/openwrt-armada-a8k-MACHIATOBin-Image /mnt/boot tar -xzf bin/mvebu64/openwrt-mvebu64-armada-a8k-machiatobin-rootfs.tar.gz -C /mnt sync umount /mnt exit
Plug the SD card into the board.
Once the board is powered on, press any key to get into the u-boot shell.
setenv fdt_name 'boot/armada-8040-mcbin.dtb' setenv image_name 'boot/openwrt-armada-a8k-MACHIATOBin-Image' setenv bootcmd 'mmc dev 1; ext4load mmc 1:1 $kernel_addr $image_name;ext4load mmc 1:1 $fdt_addr $fdt_name;setenv bootargs $console root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rw rootwait; booti $kernel_addr - $fdt_addr'
To preserve the configuration across the reboot:
saveenv
Boot the board:
boot
