This is ARC Linux v3.11 for ARC Xplorer.

Contents:

  • Kernel
    • version 3.11.10
    • HDMI
    • USB (EHCI)
    • Ethernet
    • UART
    • SD / MMC
    • I2C
    • GPIO
  • rootfs
    • busybox
    • gdbserver
    • i2c tools
    • lsusb
    • perf tools

To build, clone this repository and use the xplorer_defconfig configuration file for buildroot:

# make xplorer_defconfig
# make

A prebuilt version of this release is attached in the form of uImage. This can be put onto an SD card (FAT formatted, in the root directory) and loaded using u-boot with the following commands:

xplorer># fatload mmc 0
xplorer># bootm

Note that the default console is the frame buffer console in this image. This means that you will get the command prompt on the screen that you connect via HDMI. To interact, a keyboard needs to be connected, and - as only USB 2.0 is supported - this likely needs to be connected through a USB 2.0 hub, as most keyboards are still low speed / USB 1.1!!
