|
First, configure Buildroot for your SABRE board.
|
|
|
|
|
For i.MX6Q SABRE SD board:
|
2014-09-19 16:12:51 +02:00

|
|
variants of mx6sabreauto boards: mx6q, mx6dl and mx6qp.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, configure Buildroot for your mx6sabreauto board
|
|

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
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-09-08 00:29:09 +02:00
|
|
|
Buildroot prepares a bootable "sdcard.img" image in the output/images/
|
|
|
|
|
directory, ready to be dumped on a microSD card. Launch the following
|
|
|
|
|
command as root:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dd if=./output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/<your-microsd-device>
|
2014-09-19 16:12:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** WARNING! The script will destroy all the card content. Use with care! ***
