First time start up or how to prepare the SD card and boot
Important! Notice that AgonLight2 comes completely assembled, tested, and programmed with firmware.
The only thing you would need to do is prepare a microSD card with BBC basic and some examples, then
connect your display and peripherals and apply power supply. The board comes without micro SD card
which has to be purchased separately! You might need extra SD card writer.
1. Open a web browser and navigate to: https://github.com/OLIMEX/AgonLight2
2. Click on: “Code” → Download ZIP (in “Local” tab);
3. Extract the downloaded ZIP file in your PC;
4. Enter the folders “SOFTWARE” and then “1-SD-card-contents”, then copy the contents of the folder;
5. Attach a class-10 micro SD card to your PC (formatted in FAT32 and with a size of maximum 32GB);
6. Paste the contents of the folder “1-SD-card-contents” which you’ve copied in step 4, to the microSD card.
Files should be placed directly into main folder of the card;
