-Buildroot for Embest RIoTboard
-==============================
-
-This is a small development board, based on Freescale IMX6 Solo SoC
-(single core ARM Cortex-A9).
-
-More details about the board can be found at:
-
-  http://www.embest-tech.com/riotboard
-
-1. Compiling buildroot
-----------------------
-
-$ make riotboard_defconfig
-$ make
-
-2. Installing buildroot
------------------------
-
-Prepare an SD-card and plug it into your card reader. Always double
-check the block device before writing to it, as writing to the wrong
-block device can cause irrecoverable data loss. Now you can write the
-image to your SD-card:
-
-sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/<sdcard-block-device> bs=1M
-
-3. Running buildroot
---------------------
-
-Position the board so you can read the label "RIoTboard" on the right
-side of SW1 DIP switches. Configure the SW1 swiches like this:
-
-1   0  1   0   0  1   0  1
-ON OFF ON OFF OFF ON OFF ON
-
-Now plug your prepared SD-card in slot J6. Connect a serial console
-(115200, 8, N, 1) to header J18. Connect a 5V/1A power supply to the
-board and enjoy.
