|
||
#### Step 1: Read about the Fastboot Method
|
||
|
||
Fastboot is supported by the board and can be used for installs. This is for advanced users who are most likely modifying/customizing source code and will need to download such updates to the board for test/execution.
|
||
|
||
This method requires the following hardware:
|
||
- DragonBoard™ 410c with power supply
|
||
- Host machine (Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows)
|
||
- USB to microUSB cable
|
||
- USB Mouse and/or keyboard (not required to perform flash)
|
||
- HDMI Monitor with full size HDMI cable (not required to perform flash)
|
||
|
||
***
|
||
|
||
#### Step 2: Download Debian Bootloader
|
||
|
||
- Debian Bootloader ([Direct Download](https://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/rescue/latest/dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-*.zip) / <a href="https://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/rescue/latest/" target="_blank">Build Folder</a> )
|
||
|
||
#### Step 3: Download Boot image and Root file system
|
||
|
||
- Debian Boot ([Direct Download](https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/debian/117/dragonboard410c/dragonboard410c-boot-linux-*.img.gz) / <a href="https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/debian/117/dragonboard410c/" target="_blank">Build Folder</a> )
|
||
- Debian Rootfs (Desktop) ([Direct Download](https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/debian/117/dragonboard410c/dragonboard410c-rootfs-debian-jessie-alip-*.emmc.img.gz) / <a href="https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/debian/117/dragonboard410c/" target="_blank">Build Folder</a> )
|
||
|
||
>Note the location of all downloads, they will be needed once you access your instruction set
|
||
|
||
***
|
||
#### Step 4: Install Debian Using Fastboot with Linux host
|
||
|
||
This section show how to install the Linaro based Debian operating system to your DragonBoard™ 410c using the fastboot method on a Linux host computer.
|
||
|
||
1 - **Make sure fastboot is set up on host computer**
|
||
|
||
- Android SDK “Tools only” for Linux can be downloaded <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk" target="_blank">here</a>
|
||
- The Linux “Tools Only” SDK download does not come with fastboot, you will need to use the Android SDK Manager to install platform-tools.
|
||
- To do this follow the “SDK Readme.txt” instructions included in your SDK “Tools Only” download.
|
||
|
||
If you are still having trouble setting up fastboot, <a href="https://youtu.be/W_zlydVBftA" target="_blank">click here</a> for a short tutorial video
|
||
|
||
2 - **Connect host computer to DragonBoard™ 410c**
|
||
|
||
- DragonBoard™ 410c must be powered off (unplugged from power)
|
||
- Make sure microSD card slot on DragonBoard™ 410c is empty
|
||
- S6 switch on DragonBoard™ 410c must be set to ‘0-0-0-0’. All switches should be in “off” position
|
||
- Connect USB to microUSB cable from host computer to DragonBoard™ 410c
|
||
|
||
3 - **Boot DragonBoard™ 410c into fastboot mode**
|
||
|
||
**Please read all bullet points before attempting**
|
||
|
||
- Press and hold the Vol (-) button on the DragonBoard™ 410c, this is the S4 button. DragonBoard™ 410c should still NOT be powered on
|
||
- While holding the Vol (-) button, power on the DragonBoard™ 410c by plugging it in
|
||
- Once DragonBoard™ 410c is plugged into power, release your hold on the Vol (-) button.
|
||
- Wait for about 20 seconds.
|
||
- Board should boot into fastboot mode.
|
||
|
||
From the connected host machine terminal window, run the following commands:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
# Check to make sure device is connected and in fastboot mode
|
||
|
||
$ fastboot devices
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Typically it will show as bellow
|
||
```shell
|
||
de82318 fastboot
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**At this point you should be connected to your DragonBoard™ 410c with a USB to microUSB cable. Your DragonBoard™ 410c should be booted into fastboot mode and ready to be flashed with the appropriate images.**
|
||
|
||
4 - **Flash Bootloader**
|
||
|
||
- Use host computer
|
||
- Open "Terminal" application
|
||
- Recall location of Bootloader download.
|
||
- The bootloader file should be named `dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-XX`
|
||
- XX represents the release number of the Bootloader
|
||
- `cd` to the directory with your unzipped **Bootloader Folder**
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
$ cd <extraction directory>
|
||
|
||
#Example:
|
||
cd /Users/YourUserName/Downloads
|
||
#<extraction directory> = /Users/YourUserName/Downloads
|
||
#For this example we assume the "Bootloader" is in the Downloads folder.
|
||
|
||
|
||
$ cd <unzipped Bootloader folder>
|
||
|
||
#Example:
|
||
cd dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-40
|
||
#<unzipped Bootloader folder> = dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-40
|
||
#This example took place during release 40
|
||
|
||
# This command will execute the flashall script within the bootloader folder
|
||
$ ./flashall
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
5 - **Recall location of `boot` and `rootfs` download from the downloads page**
|
||
|
||
- You should have downloaded the `boot` file
|
||
- You should have downloaded ONE of rootfs` file (Either `Developer` or `Desktop - ALIP` version)
|
||
|
||
6 - **Unzip both 'boot' and 'rootfs' files**
|
||
|
||
7 - **Flash `boot` image and `rootfs` to the DragonBoard™ 410c**
|
||
|
||
- Use host computer
|
||
- Use "Terminal" application
|
||
- Recall location of extracted(unzipped) `boot` file
|
||
- Recall location of extracted(unzipped) `rootfs` file (`Developer` or `Desktop - ALIP`)
|
||
- `cd` to the directory with your unzipped `boot` and `rootfs` files
|
||
- From within extraction directory, execute the following commands:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
# (Once again) Check to make sure fastboot device connected
|
||
$ sudo fastboot devices
|
||
# It will show similar to bellow if the device is connected successfully
|
||
de82318 fastboot
|
||
|
||
# cd to the directory the boot image and were extracted
|
||
$ cd <extraction directory>
|
||
|
||
# Make sure you have properly unzipped the boot and rootfs downloads
|
||
$ sudo fastboot flash boot boot-linaro-jessie-qcom-snapdragon-arm64-**BUILD#**.img
|
||
$ sudo fastboot flash rootfs linaro-jessie-developer-qcom-snapdragon-arm64-**BUILD#**.img
|
||
```
|
||
**Note**: Replace **BUILD#** in the above commands with the file-specific date/build stamp.
|
||
|
||
8 - **Reboot DragonBoard™ 410c**
|
||
|
||
- Unplug power to DragonBoard™ 410c
|
||
- Unplug micro USB cable from DragonBoard™ 410c
|
||
- Ensure HDMI connection to monitor
|
||
- Ensure keyboard and/or mouse connection (Depending on your rootfs selection)
|
||
- Plug power back into DragonBoard™ 410c
|
||
- Wait for board to boot up
|
||
- Board will boot into either command line or desktop depending on rootfs
|
||
|
||
**Note:** the **username** and **password** are both **“linaro”** when the login information is requested.
|
||
|
||
**Congratulations! You are now booting your newly installed OS directly
|
||
from eMMC on the DragonBoard™ 410c!**
