Overview
- The Linux package for COMEX-IE38M includes a ready-to-run image that can be installed on SSD disk, mSATA card, or USB storage device connected to the SB-COMEXmini carrier board
- Download the Linux Package for COMEX-IE38M to the host PC and ensure the integrity of the file:
$ md5sum comex-ie38m_linux_2016-11-27.zip
cdc3cd73c10eea673f9bd4479c6e188e comex-ie38m_linux_2016-11-27.zip
- Unzip the downloaded archive.
Installation
- Prepare either an SSD disk, mSATA card, or USB storage device. It must have at least 8GB capacity
- Connect the storage device to the host PC
- Run this command to figure out what device name was assigned to your storage device:
$ ls -all /dev/disk/by-id/
- Assuming your storage device was detected as /dev/sdx write the image onto it:
$ gzip -dc /path/to/comex-ie38m-linux/images/comex-ie38m.mint18.8GB.dd.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdx bs=1MB
- Connect the storage device to the SB-COMEXmini carrier board
Welcome to Linux Mint 18 LTS
- Power on the COMEX-IE38M evaluation system.
- On first boot choose your language, timezone, username, password etc.
Installation onto the on-board eMMC (optional)
- In the same manner, the same image can be installed onto the internal on-board eMMC storage
- After first boot make the Linux package files accessible from the COMEX-IE38M, for example the NFS drive can be mounted or a disk-on-key with the files attached
- Assuming the on-board eMMC storage was detected as /dev/sdx write the image on it:
$ gzip -dc /path/to/comex-ie38m-linux/images/comex-ie38m.mint18.8GB.dd.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdx bs=1MB
- Detach external storage
- Enable the on-board eMMC in BIOS Settings -> Boot -> Boot Priority Order
- Next time the boot will be performed from the on-board eMMC
