24 First, configure Buildroot for your SABRE board.
25 For i.MX6Q SABRE SD board:
27 make freescale_imx6qsabresd_defconfig
29 For i.MX6DL SABRE SD board:
31 make freescale_imx6dlsabresd_defconfig
33 For i.MX6 SoloX SABRE SD board:
35 make freescale_imx6sxsabresd_defconfig
37 For i.MX6Q SABRE Auto board:
39 make freescale_imx6qsabreauto_defconfig
41 For i.MX6DL SABRE Auto board:
43 make freescale_imx6dlsabreauto_defconfig
49 You will find in ./output/images/ the following files:
50 - imx6dl-sabresd.dtb or imx6q-sabresd.dtb or imx6sx-sdb.dtb or
51 imx6q-sabreauto.dtb or imx6dl-sabreauto.dtb
55 - uImage, or zImage for i.MX6 SoloX
57 Create a bootable SD card
58 =========================
60 To determine the device associated to the SD card have a look in the
61 /proc/partitions file:
65 Buildroot prepares a bootable "sdcard.img" image in the output/images/
66 directory, ready to be dumped on a microSD card. Launch the following
69 dd if=./output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/<your-microsd-device>
71 *** WARNING! The script will destroy all the card content. Use with care! ***
73 For details about the medium image layout, see the definition in
74 board/freescale/common/imx/genimage.cfg.template.
82 To boot your newly created system on an i.MX6 SABRE SD Board (refer to
83 the i.MX6 SABRE SD Quick Start Guide for guidance):
84 - insert the SD card in the SD3 slot of the board;
85 - locate the BOOT dip switches (SW6), set dips 2 and 7 to ON, all others to OFF;
86 - connect a Micro USB cable to Debug Port and connect using a terminal emulator
93 To boot your newly created system on an i.MX6 SoloX SABRE SD Board
94 (refer to the i.MX6 SoloX SABRE SD Quick Start Guide for guidance):
95 - insert the SD card in the J4-SD4 socket at the bottom of the board;
96 - Set the SW10, SW11 and SW12 DIP switches at the top of the board in
97 their default position, to boot from SD card. Reference configuration:
101 off off off off off off off off
105 off off ON ON ON off off off
109 off ON off off off off off off
111 - connect a Micro USB cable to the J16 Debug Port at the bottom of the
112 board. This is a dual UART debug port; connect to the first tty using
113 a terminal emulator at 115200 bps, 8n1;
114 - power on the board with the SW1-PWR switch at the top of the board.
119 To boot your newly created system on a SABRE Auto Board (refer to the SABRE for
120 Automotive Infotainment Quick Start Guide for guidance):
121 - insert the SD card in the CPU card SD card socket J14;
122 - Set the S1, S2 and S3 DIP switches and J3 jumper to boot from SD on CPU card.
123 Reference configuration:
127 off ON off off ON off off off off off
139 - connect an RS-232 UART cable to CPU card debug port J18 UART DB9 and
140 connect using a terminal emulator at 115200 bps, 8n1;
141 - power on the board.
