8Since the apu2 does not have any graphical output, the default configuration
9will ensure that the kernel output as well as the login prompt will be sent to
10the serial port.

12How to build
13============
14
15The provided defconfig creates a hybrid isolinux image that can be booted from
16either an USB stick or a CD.
17
18 $ make pcengines_apu2_defconfig
19 $ make
20
21How to write to an USB stick
22============================
23
24Once the build process is finished you will have an image
25called "rootfs.iso9660" in the output/images/ directory.
26
27Copy the bootable "rootfs.iso9660" onto the USB stick with "dd":
28
29 $ sudo dd if=output/images/rootfs.iso9660 of=/dev/sdX bs=1M conv=fsync
30 $ sudo sync

32How to connect to the apu2
33==========================
34
35Connect to the DB9 serial port of the apu2 board (either directly or through a
36USB adapter) with a baudrate of 115200.
37
38For example with miniterm (part of pyserial):
39
40 $ miniterm.py -f direct /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
