SolidRun ClearFog Base
SolidRun ClearFog Base is a SoM based on the Marvell's Armada A388 module. It is powered by the 32-bit Cortex A9 processor and features 1 x mPCIE PCIe X1 Gen2.0 slot, 1 USB 3.0 port, 2 dedicated Ethernet ports, 1 SFP 2.5GbE port and a MicroSD card slot.
To build firmware for the ClearFog Base using Replica.one, first clone the main repository as described in docs/QUICKSTART.md.
Next, invoke the build process using make:
make CTARGET=armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabihf package_clearfog-base
Sample (cached) build can be seen here:
A successful build will generate the following files in the output/ directory:
-
gentoo-arm-mvebu-clearfog-base.img.xz- compressed raw disk image -
sysdesc-arm-mvebu-clearfog-base.txt- a description of the system installation, including installed packages, package sizes, list of root filesystem contents, etc.
gentoo-arm-mvebu-clearfog-base.img.xz is a formatted raw disk image which can be flashed directly on the SD card using the following command:
$ xz -d -T0 --stdout ./output/gentoo-arm-mvebu-clearfog-base.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmbclk0 bs=4M status=progress
