SoC Linux Dojo [No.1] Checking Linux boot on Helio board using pre-built SD card image

 

 

Recent embedded products are increasingly equipped with Linux® due to the sophistication of their functions.

 

In this "SoC Linux Dojo", we will target Macnica 's Helio board equipped with Intel® FPGA Cyclone V® SoC, and first, we will write a pre-built SD card binary image to the SD card and confirm that Linux boots. .

After that, prepare a compilation environment (Linux machine + cross-compiler), obtain and compile the Linux kernel source code, create a custom driver, add a user circuit to the SoC FPGA, check the operation of PWM control, etc. We will explain the basic development method in all 8 times.

 

"SoC Linux Dojo [Part 1] Checking Linux boot on Helio board using pre-built SD card image"

Document overview

 

Macnica Helio board (hereafter referred to as Helio) comes with a pre-built SD card binary image that allows you to boot Linux® right away.

This time, I will explain how to obtain this SD card image, write it to a microSD card, and actually boot Linux on Helio.
