6*4882a593SmuzhiyunNexbox A95X is a low cost Android STB based around an Amlogic s905(x) SoC
7*4882a593Smuzhiyun(quad A53), 8/16GB eMMC and 1/2GB RAM.  To use this defconfig, wires to the
8*4882a593Smuzhiyuninternal UART solder pads must be added.  See the linux-meson page for

21*4882a593Smuzhiyun===============
22*4882a593Smuzhiyun
23*4882a593SmuzhiyunConfigure Buildroot:
24*4882a593Smuzhiyun
25*4882a593Smuzhiyun    $ make nexbox_a95x_defconfig
26*4882a593Smuzhiyun
27*4882a593SmuzhiyunCompile everything and build the SD card image:
28*4882a593Smuzhiyun
29*4882a593Smuzhiyun    $ make
30*4882a593Smuzhiyun
31*4882a593SmuzhiyunHow to write the SD card
32*4882a593Smuzhiyun========================
33*4882a593Smuzhiyun
34*4882a593SmuzhiyunOnce the build process is finished you will have an image called "sdcard.img"
35*4882a593Smuzhiyunin the output/images/ directory.
36*4882a593Smuzhiyun
37*4882a593SmuzhiyunCopy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto a microSD card with "dd":
38*4882a593Smuzhiyun
39*4882a593Smuzhiyun  $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
