Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 5/5] configs/acmesystems_arietta_g25_{128mb, 256mb}_defconfig: re-add defconfigs
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 22:55:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110215557.2248804-6-angelo.compagnucci@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110215557.2248804-1-angelo.compagnucci@gmail.com>
The Arietta G25 defconfigs were removed by commit c8bf258e5b
("configs/acmesystems_arietta_g25_{128mb, 256mb}_defconfig: remove
defconfig") because they still used the unmaintained Linux 4.19.
Re-add them with current components and the same boot flow as before:
AT91Bootstrap loads the kernel (zImage) and its device tree from the
FAT partition of the microSD card and starts Linux with the root
filesystem on the second partition, without U-Boot:
- Linux 6.18.63 (LTS), at91_dt defconfig and the in-tree
microchip/at91-ariettag25 device tree;
- AT91Bootstrap 3.10.4, the latest 3.x release: AT91Bootstrap 4 no
longer supports the SAM9X5 devices;
- the Bootlin armv5-eabi glibc stable toolchain;
- hashes for Linux and its license files (BR2_DOWNLOAD_FORCE_CHECK_HASHES).
Also add myself to DEVELOPERS for the Acme Systems boards.

+Acme Systems Arietta G25
+
+Intro
+=====
+
+This default configuration will allow you to start experimenting with the
+buildroot environment for the Arietta G25. With the current configuration
+it will bring-up the board, and allow access through the serial console.
+
+AT91Bootstrap loads the kernel (zImage) and its device tree
+(acme-arietta.dtb) from the first partition of the microSD card and starts
+Linux with the root filesystem on the second partition; there is no
+U-Boot.
+
+You can find additional information, tutorials and a very comprehensive
+documentation on https://www.acmesystems.it/arietta.
+
+Build instructions
+==================
+
+To build an image for the Arietta G25 choose the configuration
+corresponding to the Arietta variant.
+
+For 128MB RAM variant type:
+
+$ make acmesystems_arietta_g25_128mb_defconfig
+
+else for 256MB RAM variant type:
+
+$ make acmesystems_arietta_g25_256mb_defconfig
+
+To customize the configuration chosen type:
+
+$ make menuconfig
+
+When you are ready to start building Buildroot type:
+
+$ make
+
+How to write the microSD card
+=============================
+
+Once the build process is finished you will have an image called "sdcard.img"
+in the output/images/ directory.
+
+Copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto an SD card with "dd":
+
+ $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
+
+Insert the microSD card into the Arietta slot and power it.
+
+The image just built is fairly basic and the only output you will get is
+on the serial console (115200 8N1, on the debug UART pins), please consider
+using a DPI cable (https://www.acmesystems.it/DPI).
