Let's get start to develop on BPI-M2P, see amazing things happen.

Basic Development

Prepare to develop

 1.Prepare 8G/above TF card, USB-Serial interface, PC with Ubuntu System

 2.Using your USB-Serial Connect debug console on M2P

Load your first image on M2P

 1.You could download latest image from our forum
 * Here is the example image link: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1Jf-AZF6a4jZugqqx2QXH3Q

 2.Install bpi-tools on your Ubuntu
 * apt-get install pv
 * curl -sL https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/bpi-tools/raw/master/bpi-tools | sudo -E bash
 

 3.After you download the image, insert your TF card into your Ubuntu
 * Execute "bpi-copy xxx.img /dev/sdx" to install image on your TF card.

 4.After step 3, then you can insert your TF card into M2P, and press power button setup M2P.
