Nexbox A95X is a low cost Android STB based around an Amlogic s905(x) SoC (quad A53), 8/16GB eMMC and 1/2GB RAM. Both the s905 (gxbb) and s905x (gxl) variant is supported. This defconfig uses mainline Linux. As the mainline support for s905 is quite young, use the latest release candidate. There is currently no support for this board in U-Boot or sources available for the vendor U-Boot, so the defconfig doesn't build a u-boot and instead uses the existing U-Boot available in the eMMC. This also means that we need to wrap the kernel as uImage, which isn't suppported for aarch64. Instead this is done in the post-build script. Mainline aarch64 defconfig builds most drivers modular, so add mdev for module autoloading. [Peter: explicitly set BR2_cortex_a53=y] Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>
Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
