# FunKey
Intro
=====
This directory contains a buildroot-based external configuration for
building the FunKey.
How to get it
===============
Clone the FunKey OS repository and the required submodules from
Github:
$ git clone https://github.com/FunKey-Project/FunKey-OS.git <Funkey directory>
Then enter into the created directory:
$ cd <Funkey directory>
How to build it
===============
Build the disk image & firmware update files
--------------------------------------------
Note: you will need to have access to the network, since buildroot
will download the packages' sources.
You may now build your FunKey with:
$ make
(This may take a while, consider getting yourself a coffee ;-) )
Result of the build
-------------------
After building, you should obtain this tree:
images/
+-- FunKey-rootfs-X.Y.fwu
`-- sdcard.img
How to write the SD card
========================
Once the build process is finished you will have an image called
"sdcard.img" in the images/ directory.
Copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto an SD card with "dd":
$ sudo dd if=<Funkey directory>/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
Alternatively, you can use the Etcher graphical tool to burn the image
to the SD card safely and on any platform:

Once the SD card is burned, insert it into your FunKey board, and
power it up. Your new system should come up now and start a console on
the UART0 serial port.
