21
22$ make acmesystems_acqua_a5_256mb_defconfig
23
24If you have the 512 MiB version, type instead:
25
26$ make acmesystems_acqua_a5_512mb_defconfig

37=============================

39The system image is the file "sdcard.img" in the "output/images"
40directory. Write it to the card by invoking:
41
42$ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
43
44where `sdX' is the block device representing the microSD card.
