This is the first part of the tutorial for Linux and the board Zybo from Digilent. Here a image of Linux-Debian version is going to be created on a SD card. This SD is going to startup Linux in our ZYBO board.
This tutorial is divided in some parts:
- ZYBO-Linux(I): Start and how to write a linux image into a SD card
- ZYBO-Linux(II): Install and start up Linux from ZYBO
- ZYBO-Linux(III): Program ZYBO with linux. Small program to use the leds
1- The first step is to download the Linux-Debian pre-compile image on the following link. Debian-Linux and unzp it. It should size arround 3.9 GB. This image of Debian have already preloaded the configurarion to connect via Ethernet through the terminal. The default IP is 192.168.1.120
