******************************************************* Freescale i.MX6Q and i.MX6DL SABRESD development boards ******************************************************* This file documents the Buildroot support for the Freescale SABRE Board for Smart Devices Based on the i.MX 6 Series (SABRESD), as well as the Freescale SABRE Board for Automotive Infotainment. Read the SABRESD Quick Start Guide for an introduction to the board: http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/quick_start_guide/SABRESDB_IMX6_QSG.pdf Read the SABRE for Automotive Infotainment Quick Start Guide for an introduction to the board: http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/user_guide/IMX6SABREINFOQSG.pdf Build ===== First, configure Buildroot for your SABRE board. For i.MX6Q SABRE SD board: make freescale_imx6qsabresd_defconfig For i.MX6DL SABRE SD board: make freescale_imx6dlsabresd_defconfig For i.MX6Q SABRE Auto board: make freescale_imx6qsabreauto_defconfig For i.MX6DL SABRE Auto board: make freescale_imx6dlsabreauto_defconfig Build all components: make You will find in ./output/images/ the following files: - imx6dl-sabresd.dtb or imx6q-sabresd.dtb or imx6q-sabreauto.dtb or imx6dl-sabreauto.dtb - rootfs.ext2 - rootfs.tar - u-boot.imx - uImage 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 Run the following script as root on your SD card. This will partition the card and copy the bootloader, kernel, DTBs and root filesystem as needed. *** WARNING! The script will destroy all the card content. Use with care! *** ./board/freescale/create-boot-sd.sh Boot the SABRE board ==================== SABRE SD -------- To boot your newly created system on a SABRE SD Board (refer to the SABRE SD Quick Start Guide for guidance): - insert the SD card in the SD3 slot of the board; - locate the BOOT dip switches (SW6), set dips 2 and 7 to ON, all others to OFF; - connect a Micro USB cable to Debug Port and connect using a terminal emulator at 115200 bps, 8n1; - power on the board. SABRE Auto ---------- To boot your newly created system on a SABRE Auto Board (refer to the SABRE for Automotive Infotainment Quick Start Guide for guidance): - insert the SD card in the CPU card SD card socket J14; - Set the S1, S2 and S3 DIP switches and J3 jumper to boot from SD on CPU card. Reference configuration: S1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 off ON off off ON off off off off off S2 1 2 3 4 off off ON off S3 1 2 3 4 off off ON ON J3: 1-2 - connect an RS-232 UART cable to CPU card debug port J18 UART DB9 and connect using a terminal emulator at 115200 bps, 8n1; - power on the board.
