The Joule will likely attempt to boot from the eMMC first. Stop this by pressing F7 at the first splash screen. This will bring you to the boot manager. <strong> Note: if you are connected to a serial port via minicom (and maybe screen too? ) hitting F7 just advances you to the default as Minicom is eating some part of the keystroke. To get F7 to work correctly, you need to hit it from a keyboard directly connected to the board.</strong>

New page

This page is currently in progress.

== Building an image ==

1. clone these repos:
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-intel

2. setup your environment:
cd path/to/poky
. oe-init-build-env
echo 'BBLAYERS += "/path/to/meta-intel"' >> conf/bblayers.conf
echo 'MACHINE = "intel-corei7-64"' >> conf/local.conf

3. build an image!
bitbake core-image-sato
or
bitbake core-image-minimal

This step can take a while. The second option is much quicker, but a less useful image.

== Flash your image onto boot media ==
The produced images will be deployed into the '''''tmp/deploy/images/intel-corei7-64/''''' directory.
Two types of bootable images are produced by default, '''wic''' and '''hddimg'''.

'''wic''': a standalone image intended to be flashed to the final install location.

'''hddimg''': a live image intended to be used to evaluate the image or install the image elsewhere

For the Joule, you will want to flash the hddimg if you want to install your image to the eMMC located on the board. For a MinnowBoard, the wic image is usually recommended unless you have a Silverjaw lure and mPCI-E SSD.

Ready and plug in your install media to your workstation.
USB devices can usually be found under '''/dev/sdX''' where X is some letter. SD cards are usually found under '''/dev/mmcblkZ''' where Z is a number. Run the following immediately after plugging in your install media to figure out where it is:
dmesg | tail

Finally, use the '''''dd''''' utility to flash the image to the board.
sudo dd if=tmp/deploy/images/intel-corei7-64/core-image-minimal-intel-corei7-64.wic of=/dev/YOUR_BLOCK_DEVICE
Replace core-image-minimal-intel-corei7-64.wic with whichever image target you prefer.
