meta-kncminer

OpenEmbedded / Ångström meta layer for KnCMiner

Setup instructoins

To build a KnCMiner firmware, first prepare a build machine as per OpenEmbedded Required software instructions at http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Getting_started

When machine is prepared proceed to prepare the KnCMiner firmware build by running

git clone https://github.com/KnCMiner/setup-scripts.git
cd setup-scripts
MACHINE=beaglebone ./oebb.sh configure beaglebone

Rootfs build instructions

To build the firmware rootfs run

. environment-angstrom-v2013.06
bitbake kncminer

and then wait for quite a bit for the build to complete.

Note: You will need ~11GB free disk space.

The resulting root initramfs will be in

setup-scripts/deploy/eglibc/images/beaglebone/Angstrom-kncminer-eglibc-ipk-v2013.06-beaglebone.rootfs.cpio.gz.u-boot

Kernel build instructions

To build the Linux kernel image run

. environment-angstrom-v2013.06
bitbake virtual/kernel

which results in a kernel image at
