Setup

The development environment is contained inside a Linux virtual machine. The contents of the current directory are shared/mounted inside the VM at /vagrant.

1. Install VirtualBox 5.1.x (don't use 5.2.x) and Extension Pack
   • You can also use libvirt or VMware (with a paid plug-in)
2. Install Vagrant >= 2.0.1
3. Open Terminal
   • Windows: Open a command prompt as Administrator (in order for symlinks in /vagrant to work)
4. Run vagrant up

Build

1. vagrant ssh -c "cd Supercon-2017-PocketBeagle; ./scripts/build_u-boot.sh"
2. vagrant ssh -c "cd Supercon-2017-PocketBeagle; ./scripts/build_linux.sh"
   • Configure the kernel, then Save, and Exit
3. Insert a microSD card reader and verify it appears inside the guest VM as sdb (vagrant ssh -c "dmesg | tail")
4. vagrant ssh -c "cd Supercon-2017-PocketBeagle; ./scripts/format_drive.sh"
5. vagrant ssh -c "cd Supercon-2017-PocketBeagle; ./scripts/install_u-boot.sh"
6. vagrant ssh -c "cd Supercon-2017-PocketBeagle; ./scripts/install_rootfs.sh"
7. vagrant ssh -c "cd Supercon-2017-PocketBeagle; ./scripts/install_kernel.sh"
   • Do this last so that kernel is installed into the rootfs.

Usage

If needed, you can SSH into the machine using the following command.

1. vagrant ssh
