In this document you learn how to install a pre-build image for Minnowboard Max and access it via SSH and/or the Soletta™ Development Application interface.

Download Image

Download the last image released for Minnowboard MAX

Install on your board

It's required to decompress the image into a external storage (pendrive or sdcard).

For that you should run the following command:

$ xzcat ostro-image-noswupd-intel-corei7-64_RC1.dsk | sudo dd of=/dev/sdb bs=512k

The destination device on dd command may vary:

  • If pendrive use /dev/sdb
  • If sdcard use /dev/mmcblk0

These path may be different depending Linux distro. Run lsblk to find out the rightful path.

This may take several minutes.

Booting Image

1- Put flashed device in the Minnowboard

2- By default, MinnowBoard boots to an EFI shell. If this happens, run the following command:

    bootx64

It is possible to change this behavior. Do the following:

  • Press F2 during the boot, to open the Setup.
  • Boot Maintenance Manager → Boot Options → Change Boot Order
  • Press Enter to popup the list
  • Highlight EFI Hard Drive or USB Device and use the + key to move it to the top of the list.
  • Press Enter and select Commit Changes and Exit
  • Press Esc, select Reset System and press Enter

Accessing Soletta Development Application

Soletta dev-app service starts automatically in the port 80 with the boot. So in a web browser type: http://<BOARD_IP_ADDRESS>

Minnowboard IP can be found using avahi or running locally ifconfig. To do this run the following:

  $ avahi-discover
