Download bootable microSD Linux images for Aria

Linux Kernel 5.15.68 - Debian Bullseye 11.5 - At91Bootstrap 3.10.4

Version: 13-oct-2022

• MicroSD image debian-bullseye-aria.img.xz

Use balenaEtcher to generate a microSD with this image:

• https://www.balena.io/etcher/

Login data

• Login: acme Password: acmesystems

Check the Linux version by typing:

uname -r
5.15.68

Check the Debian version by typing:

cat /etc/debian_version
11.5

By default the root password is not defined. To set it login as acme user and type:

sudo passwd

To extend the rootfs partition to fill the whole microSD space available type:

sudo ./extend_rootfs.sh

Note if you have a board with 256MB change in the cmdline.txt on the first partition from:

128M

in:

256M    

Kernel Linux 4.19.128 - Debian Buster 10

Version: 5-oct-2022

• MicroSD image debian-buster-aria.img.xz

Use balenaEtcher to generate a microSD with this image:

• https://www.balena.io/etcher/

Login data

The login data on this image both from debug port or ssh is:

• Login: acme
• Password: acmesystems

Extends the rootfs partition

At the first boot the rootfs size is limited to few megabytes. Check it by typing:

df
Filesystem     1K-blocks   Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root         848684 372712    415644  48% /
devtmpfs          124592      0    124592   0% /dev
tmpfs             125104      0    125104   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs             125104    176    124928   1% /run
tmpfs               5120      0      5120   0% /run/lock
tmpfs             125104      0    125104   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mmcblk0p1     97446   4070     93376   5% /boot    

In this example I've used an 8GB microSD and the space used is 48%. Type this two commands to use all the microSD space available:

sudo growpart /dev/mmcblk0 2
sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2 

and check again:

df
Filesystem     1K-blocks   Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root        7531440 433020   6768232   7% /
devtmpfs          124592      0    124592   0% /dev
tmpfs             125104      0    125104   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs             125104    176    124928   1% /run
tmpfs               5120      0      5120   0% /run/lock
tmpfs             125104      0    125104   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mmcblk0p1     97446   4070     93376   5% /boot

the space used now is just 7%:

Create a bootable microSD

A Linux PC is required to follow this procedure:

• Format a microSD with gparted following this article
• Mount the two new partitions boot and rootfs just clicking from the file explorer window
• Download the archive with the first microSD partition contents: boot.tar.bz2
• Download the archive with the second microSD partition contents: rootfs.tar.bz2
• Untar the archives to the microSD partitions using the following commands:
  • tar -xvjpSf boot.tar.bz2 -C /media/$USER/boot
  • sudo tar -xvjpSf rootfs.tar.bz2 -C /media/$USER/rootfs
• The kernel command line parameters are passed by the dts file.
• Unmount the microSD and use it to boot on Aria G25
• Open a SSH session or use the DPI adapter to get the access to the console
• The login data are:
  • User: root Password: acmesystems

Read the tutorials page to know how to do create the microSD contents starting from sources.
