This section describes how to deploy GyroidOS on the BeagleV-Fire board.

Create bootable medium

Requirements

A successfully built GyroidOS image file gyroidosimage.img.
The script copy_image_to_disk.sh which can be found on GitHub or in your build folder at gyroidos/build/yocto/copy_image_to_disk.sh
Optional: Bmap file gyroidosimage.img.bmap which is automatically created by the build system and deployed next to gyroidosimage.img. This enables flashing using bmaptool.

First, ensure the needed packages are installed on your system.

apt-get install util-linux btrfs-progs sgdisk parted bmap-tools

Copy GyroidOS image to internal eMMC of BeagleV-Fire

Reboot BeagleV-Fire in Hart Software Services (HSS) with eMMC as USB mass storage device on USB type C connector. This can be done by following two steps:

Connect the BeagleV-Fire with its USB type connector to your computer.
Press RESET while USER Button is pressed down and hold

Now the GyroidOS image can be copied to the USB Storage device. The provided script takes care of expanding the partitions to use all of the available disk space.

WARNING: This operation will wipe all data on the target device

sudo copy_image_to_disk.sh <gyroidos-image> </path/to/target/device>

If you have built from source in ws-yocto and your target device is /dev/sde the command would be:

cd ws-yocto # your yocto workspace directory
sudo copy_image_to_disk.sh \
	out-yocto/tmp/deploy/images/beagelv-fire/gyroidos_image/gyroidosimage.img \
	/dev/sde

Boot GyroidOS

Connect a USB2UART-Cable to the Debug port of the BeagleV-Fire board. See image: BegaleV-Fire UART Debug

After boot debug shell into the CML will be available on that serial tty if you have flashed debug-Image. Further, the init log messages will appear on that serial tty as well as output of the CML services, cmld and scd. The c0 container will be accessible over ethernet by ssh.
