Quickstart for bitthunder and the pi #41

Closed ririw closed 8 years ago

ririw commented 9 years ago

Hey, I've just worked out how to run bitthunder on the pi, but the existing docs are a little out of date.

I've documented how I did it here.

If you want I can go and edit the bitthunder docs to update them, or you can link straight to that blog post.

p.s. thanks for making bitthunder.

Hi, Really grateful for your efforts on this. I'll make a link to your blog for now, because I think you make it very clear actually.

If you also connect to the UART you should see Welcome to Bitthunder on the console.

I added a defconfig mechanism which also configures the whole system for RPi automatically.

I'll send you my README that I think I didn't push yet.

I was about to start on a cross-platform USB stack, do you have any ideas on how to get started with that? Its quite essential to make the RPi useful I think.

Cheers,

James

Awesome. Once I get the readme and work out debconfig, I'll rewrite to the post to use that, because it sounds like the better way (and maybe leave a section for doing it manually). If you want, you can send it to richardweiss@richardweiss.org

Unfortunately I don't know anything about how to implement USB, OS and embedded dev aren't normally things I do. I'd be happy to help though, I really want to get the ethernet working on the pi, and it hooks in to the USB bus (I think).

Cheers, Richard.

I added instructions to #34

USB is a pain, mainly because I need a good excuse to work on it, and it looks time-consuming. Although I'm getting more and more pressure to implement stuff on bitthunder at work, so hopefully soon.
