AXIOM Beta Firmware Version 2.0
From apertus wiki
1 Prepare Micro SD Card
- Get a new Micro SD card (4GB is enough, bigger is fine as well, but the partitions are not yet automatically resized when a bigger SD card is detected)
- Acquire the latest automatically built firmware image from: https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/axiom-beta-firmware/releases
- download, install and start Etcher: https://www.balena.io/etcher/
- Flash the acquired image to a new Micro SD card with Etcher (we highly recommend not overwriting the Micro SD card you currently use in your AXIOM Beta)
- After flashing put the Micro SD card into the AXIOM Beta Microzed SD card slot and power up the Beta

- Image build log is located in each image under:
/var/build.log
- devicetree source can be found at

Ctrl-C
over serial quickly after a boot / reboot (try holding it down) axiom-file-check.sh
does an integrity check of /usr, /etc and /opt- binaries are linked in:
/usr/axiom/bin
- scripts are linked in:
/usr/axiom/script
/opt/axiom-firmware
contains scripts and binaries- every beta currently has the same MAC address - a random one should be generated on the first boot, but this is not implemented yet.
