IEI Puzzle M801
IEI Puzzle M801 is an ARMv8 server, based on the Marvell ARMADA 8040 SoC.
The IEI Puzzle M801 sports the following physical interfaces:
- 2x SFP+ ports
- 4x Gigabit ethernet ports
- 2x USB ports (use the bottom one for USB boot)
- 1x Management (console) port
To build firmware for the IEI Puzzle M801 using Replica.one, first clone the main repository as described in docs/QUICKSTART.md.
Next, invoke the build process using make.
make CTARGET=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu package_puzzle-m801
Sample (cached) build can be seen here:
A successful build will generate the following files in the output/ directory:
-
gentoo-arm64-mvebu-puzzle-m801.img.xz- compressed raw disk image -
sysdesc-arm64-mvebu-puzzle-m801.txt- a description of the system installation, including installed packages, package sizes, list of root filesystem contents, etc.
The output/gentoo-arm64-mvebu-puzzle-m801.img raw disk image is pre-formatted and can be flashed onto either an USB Flash Drive, or the internal drive of the Puzzle M801 device.
The recording below shows the procedure for flashing the Replica.one firmware:
