CX9020

This repository provides Scripts and Patches to build a basic Linux (Debian) System for a Beckhoff CX9020 Controller. It only works with devices which are ordered with a special ordering number (CX9020-0100) which ensures that the device boots directly from the microSD card instead of using the internal bootloader. Please make sure to follow the steps below to create your microSD card.
