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
Build all components:
make
You will find in ./output/images/ the following files:
- imx6dl-sabresd.dtb or imx6q-sabresd.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 <your-sd-device>
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.
Enjoy!
