[PC Engines](http://pcengines.ch/) is a swiss hardware manufacturer for embedded x86 devices. ## Contents * [1 apu2c4](#apu2c4) * [1.1 Hardware](#Hardware) * [1.2 Setup preperations](#Setup_preperations) * [1.3 Boot the system](#Boot_the_system) * [1.4 Install the system](#Install_the_system) ## apu2c4 This document describes how to install Arch Linux to the SSD via an SD card or USB flash drive. ### Hardware CPU: AMD Embedded G series GX-412TC, 1 GHz quad Jaguar core with 64 bit RAM: 4GB DRAM with ECC **Note:** Remove the screws from the serial port first! Assemble the device with care and read the [guide for the cooling system](http://pcengines.ch/apucool.htm)! ### Setup preperations * You need a serial (RS-232) connection to the apu to control it. * Add your user to uucp * Install picocom or something similar, see [Working with the serial console#Making Connections](/index.php/Working_with_the_serial_console#Making_Connections "Working with the serial console") * Download and verify the [arch-dualboot.iso](https://www.archlinux.org/download/) ### Boot the system To see the BIOS use this command ``` LANG=C picocom --baud 115200 --omap crcrlf /dev/ttyUSB0 ``` If your device does not boot from the SD card or USB flash drive, press F10 during boot to bring up a boot menu. Then close picocom with "Ctl+A" "Ctl+Q" Reconnect to the ArchIso Grub: ``` LANG=C picocom --baud 38400 /dev/ttyUSB0 ``` Enter cli mode by pressing "Tab", prompt should look like this: ``` linux boot/x86_64/vmlinuz archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=ARCH_201710 initrd=boot/intel_ucode.img,boot/x86_64/archiso.img ``` add the following **with a leading space** ``` console=ttyS0,38400 ``` and press "Enter" Now wait for about 30 seconds and you will get a colorful boot prompt ### Install the system The most comfortable way to install Arch now is to start the sshd and use [Install guide](/index.php/Install_guide "Install guide") You may need to get a new IP with dhclient and start sshd ``` systemctl start sshd.service ``` One possible layout of the SSD maybe looking like this: ``` /dev/sda1 2048 264191 262144 128M 83 Linux /dev/sda2 264192 25430015 25165824 12G 83 Linux /dev/sda3 25430016 31277231 5847216 2.8G 82 Linux swap / Solaris ``` It is a good idea to use a MBR layout with [GRUB](/index.php/GRUB "GRUB"): ``` grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg ``` If using [Syslinux](/index.php/Syslinux "Syslinux"), make sure to provide a `console` option in the boot menu: `/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg` ``` LABEL arch MENU LABEL Arch Linux LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux APPEND root=UUID=1ef5a2eb-1908-4929-9b91-f6c4183695ac rw console=ttyS0,38400 INITRD ../initramfs-linux.img ``` Also you should read [Working with the serial console#Configure console access on the target machine](/index.php/Working_with_the_serial_console#Configure_console_access_on_the_target_machine "Working with the serial console") Remember to remove the SD card or USB flash drive after you finished your setup.
