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.

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)

Open Terminal

• Windows: Open a command prompt as Administrator (in order for symlinks in /vagrant to work)

Run vagrant up

• Install Vagrant >= 2.0.1

Build

vagrant ssh -c "cd Supercon-2017-PocketBeagle; ./scripts/build_u-boot.sh"vagrant ssh -c "cd Supercon-2017-PocketBeagle; ./scripts/build_linux.sh"

• Configure the kernel, then Save, and Exit

Insert a microSD card reader and verify it appears inside the guest VM as sdb (vagrant ssh -c "dmesg | tail")vagrant ssh -c "cd Supercon-2017-PocketBeagle; ./scripts/format_drive.sh"vagrant ssh -c "cd Supercon-2017-PocketBeagle; ./scripts/install_u-boot.sh"vagrant ssh -c "cd Supercon-2017-PocketBeagle; ./scripts/install_rootfs.sh"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.

vagrant ssh
