Easy way to do it (try FreeBSD on Efika MX)


I wrote script, just to make your life a bit easy, in case you want to try FreeBSD on Genesi Efika MX of course :)
MAKE_EFIKA_MX.sh                    - script itself
__MAKE_EFIKA_MX_IMAGE.sh    - wrapper to run script on md(memory disk) devices instead of real SD and USB flash.

And here is results:
Efika_MX_SD_card.img.xz        - image for SD (just only U-Boot, but already aligned by 0x1000 for IMX format)
Efika_MX_USB_Flash.img.xz    - full world for 2G+ USB stick (surprisingly small, only 71M in xz)

To make efika mx bootable USB flash (with U-Boot on SD) just run:
./MAKE_EFIKA_MX.sh da0 da4 smartbook

where
    da0    - SD dev
    da4    - USB dev
    smartbook - model (smartbook/smarttop, both have only different
U-Boot binaries)

Let me know anything you have done with that :)

Many thanks to Genesi for hardware and help!
And Genesi's Powerdeveloper program!

  1. I'd better get this Efika_MX smartbook first :)

  2. Waiting for new one, i.MX53 based, then I think it will be possible :)

  3. Do you know if your work on the efika mx has been merged to HEAD ? Or is it still better to checkout the code from the project branch ?
