Boot flash creation:
Procedure is the same as for Red Pitaya or Raspberry pi SD card preparation — https://redpitaya.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickStart/SDcard/SDcard.html
Just use my SD card image instead of Red Pitaya image, obviously 🙂
Image size totally not optimal 🙂 But I hope that is not a problem modern days:
Also I should say that this system acting like OS for singleboard computers and has RW partitions, this may reduce life of the SD card. For SDR applications it’s better to mount SD card partitions as RO, but I made RW partitions by purpose — I’m using the same image for other goals and experiments with the antminer boards. Anyway lot’s of red pitayas and rasperry pis are working every day by years, so it’s okay, just not the best practice in case of SDR.

Software startup:
Ip address of the board will be obtained automatically by DHCP, so you can check ip address on your router.
Login into sdr using ssh:
ssh ubuntu@<ip address>
Password is temppwd
Start sdr application using following command:
sudo systemctl start transceiver.service
To put service to autostart, use:
sudo systemctl enable transceiver.service
BE CAREFUL! IF ADC CLOCK GENERATOR IS NOT CONNECTED IT WILL HANGUP THE SYSTEM, so you will be unable to login as it will crash system after startup. So do it after full hardware assembly.
To disable autostart, use:
sudo systemctl disable transceiver.service
