Official Images from OLIMEX
Note that only the microSD connector is suitable for booting the desired operating system, the SD-MMC connector is not suitable for booting since it is not a part of the boot sequence (refer to AM3352 datasheet).
Linux
The official Debian images are suitable only for microSD card. Information on booting Debian from the NAND might be found at the forum.
Download methods and locations might be found below! Please note that there are different images for different board revisions, due to a hardware change.
Newest official release (recommended):
Torrent of a ready image of Debian release 3 suitable for AM3352-SOM boards: AM3352-SOM Debian image with kernel 3.12.10+ release 3
List of installed packages: installed packages article
Image description and common practices: description and useful practices
How to build the above image: building the AM3352-SOM Debian image with kernel 3.12.10+ release 3
Default in the image superuser username/password: olimex/olimex
Most of the commands has to be executed as super user (for example, "sudo reboot").
The image is 2GB and the file system can be extended to suit a bigger card. Use the following three commands to execute a script that would use all the space of your card:
sudo su resize_sd.sh /dev/mmcblk0 1 reboot
The board AM3352-SOM-EVB has two Ethernet ports. LAN1 is configured with default static IP address of 192.168.1.254. LAN2 is configured as DHCP. If you have trouble with one of them try using the other.
Older official releases (not recommended):
Torrent of Debian release 2 suitable for AM3352-SOM boards: AM3352-SOM Debian with kernel 3.12.10+ release 2
Torrent of Debian release 1 suitable for AM3352-SOM boards: AM3352-SOM Debian with kernel 3.12.10+ release 1
How To?
How to change HDMI, VGA and LCD resolutions in the official Debian image?
The default SD card setup is made with video output settings suitable for 800x600 VGA output. If you want to change to some other VGA or LCD resolution then you can execute a script file in /root directory.
Type:
sudo ./change_display_am3352.sh
and press "Enter". This would bring up the help menu. If you wish to use 7 inch display (800x480 resolution) you would need to type:
sudo ./change_display_am3352.sh -l -800x480
The supported resolutions are:
For VGA (-v):
- 1. 800x600
- 2. 1024x768
For LCD (-l):
- 1. 4.3" (480x272)
- 2. 7" (800x480)
- 3. 10" (1024x600)
