Hi there, I got your tiny4412 boar dwith the attached display. Now I want to install Linux on this board. How can I proceed? I checked out the FTP and downloaded the sources. But there is almost no documentation. Do you have an idea how to install linux on the tiny4412? Thanks in advance
2 、Get Started We provide various OS image files. Users can flash those files to the board via an SD card. We will guide you through these steps in this chapter. 2.1 Burning Superboot to SD Card In order to boot from an SD card, you need to burn BIOS to it. FriendlyARM offers aflashing utility: SD-Flasher.exe which can burn our Bootloader (Superboot4412.bin) to an SD card. We tested the following steps on Windows7 Note: users complained that some notebook’s integrated SD card reader cannot work properly with card burning or reading. So far we haven’t encountered this issue and we suggest that you should try a common card reader in this case. Our SD-Flasher.exe formats a 130M space for the bootloader therefore an SD card whose memory is less than 256M cannot work and we recommend using one whose memory is at least 4G Step1: launch the SD-Flasher.exe in your shipped CD (under “\tools\”). Note: this program should be run as “administrator” When the utility is launched a message box will pop up “Select your Machine…”,please select “Mini4412/Tiny4412”: Below is the dialog you will see after it is started. Note: the “ReLayout” is enabled and we will format the SD card with this function. Step2: click on to select your bootloader file Step3: insert a FAT32 SD card into your host’s SD card socket (you can also use a USB card reader to connect to a PC), backup your data in the card and click on “Scan”, all recognized SD cards will be listed. Step4: click on “ReLayout”, the following dialog will pop up prompting you that the data in your card will be lost. Just click on “Yes” After formatting is done you will be directed back to the main menu. Click on “Scan”, you will see that a “FriendlyARM” section available. Step5: click on “Fuse”, Superboot will be safely burned into the SD card. You can burn this card in WindowsXP without worrying about its FAT32 data being lost or damaged. steps 6: After fusing the sd card ,you should cp images file to sd card , then you should modify the friendlyarm.ini , OS = Linux and save it . steps 7: Then you should insert the SD card to your NanoPC-T1 , and boot mode switch . This will boot the board from the SD card.hen power on the board and it will be flashed with the linux image .
