# Setting up the Haiku SD card
The Raspberry Pi SD card generally uses the MBR file system layout below. Partition 1 is all that is required to boot an OS.
* partition 1 -- FAT32, bootable flag, type 'c'
* partition 2 -- BeFS, Haiku filesystem, type 'eb'
## Boot Partition
### Required Files
* bootcode.bin : 2nd stage bootloader
* start.elf: The GPU binary firmware image
* haiku_loader: Haiku Loader
* haiku-floppyboot.tgz: Compressed image with Haiku kernel
* config.txt: A configuration file read by the GPU.
### Optional Files
* vlls directory: Additional GPU code, e.g. extra codecs.
# Compiling
* Create your work directory `mkdir generated.arm; cd generated.arm`
* Build an ARM toolchain using `../configure --build-cross-tools arm ../../buildtools`
* Build our loader using `jam -q -sHAIKU_BOOT_BOARD=raspberry_pi -sHAIKU_BOOT_PLATFORM=raspberrypi_arm haiku_loader`
* Build our file system using `jam -q -sHAIKU_BOOT_BOARD=raspberry_pi -sHAIKU_BOOT_PLATFORM=raspberrypi_arm haiku-floppyboot.tgz`
# Booting
1. SOC finds bootcode.bin
2. bootcode.bin runs start.elf
2. start.elf reads config.txt and cmdline.txt
3. start.elf runs specified binary at specified address
## config.txt Options
kernel=haiku_loader
kernel_address=0x0
disable_commandline_tags=1
ramfsfile=haiku-floppyboot.tgz
ramfsaddr=0x04000000
