Freescale i.MX8QXP MEK board
***************************
This file documents the Buildroot support for the Freescale i.MX8QXP
MEK board.
Build
=====
First, configure Buildroot for the i.MX8QXP MEK board:
make freescale_imx8qxpmek_defconfig
Build all components:
make
You will find in output/images/ the following files:
- ahab-container.img
- bl31.bin
- boot.vfat
- fsl-imx8qxp-mek.dtb
- Image
- imx8-boot-sd.bin
- mkimg.commit
- mx8qx-mek-scfw-tcm.bin
- mx8qx-val-scfw-tcm.bin
- rootfs.ext2
- rootfs.ext4
- rootfs.tar
- sdcard.img
- u-boot-atf.bin
- u-boot.bin
- u-boot-hash.bin
Create a bootable SD card
=========================
To determine the device associated to the SD card have a look in the
/proc/partitions file:
cat /proc/partitions
Buildroot prepares a bootable "sdcard.img" image in the output/images/
directory, ready to be dumped on a SD card. Launch the following
command as root:
dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/<your-sd-device>
*** WARNING! This will destroy all the card content. Use with care! ***
For details about the medium image layout, see the definition in
board/freescale/common/imx/genimage.cfg.template_imx8.
Boot the i.MX8QXP MEK board
==========================
To boot your newly created system:
- insert the SD card in the SD slot of the board;
- Configure the boot switch as follows:
SW2: ON ON OFF OFF
- put a micro USB cable into the Debug USB Port and connect using a terminal
emulator at 115200 bps, 8n1;
- power on the board.
Enjoy!
