Boot Lichee RV Dock

• Download source code from buildroot .
• Go to the buildroot root directory and run the following commands:
  • make sipeed_lichee_rv_dock_defconfig
  • make all - If the command is executed successfully, an image named sdcard.img will be generated in the ./buildroot/output/images directory.

    • buildroot will download many packages from different repositories after running make all, and you may need a VPN to speed up the process.
    • If you're having trouble with the build process, maybe you can get more details from buildroot README.

• Please refer to this page to install Etcher.
  

  If cannot install Etcher by sudo apt install balena-etcher, please refer to https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/4059#issue-1686399813.
