On this document you'll learn how to install a pre-build image on your Minnowboard Max and access it via SSH 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-intel-quark.dsk.xz | 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
