Joris Offouga 40c5aa50cf configs/imx7dpico: Bump Linux and U-Boot
Bump Linux to 5.1 and U-Boot to version 2019.01.

U-Boot patch is no longer needed, applied upstream.

U-Boot defconfig name for this board has changed to pico-pi-imx7d.

U-Boot now supports distrobootcmd for this board, so add the appropriate
extlinux.conf and use SPL+u-boot.img instead of u-boot.imx. Note that
the common freescale post-image script handles things appropriately
based on the selected options in .config.

dosfstools and mtools are no longer needed to build the image.

****************************
Technexion i.MX7D Pico board
****************************

This file documents the Buildroot support for the Technexion i.MX7D Pico board.

Build
=====

First, configure Buildroot for the i.MX7D Pico board:

  make imx7dpico_defconfig

Build all components:

  make

You will find in output/images/ the following files:
  - imx7d-pico.dtb
  - rootfs.ext4
  - rootfs.tar
  - sdcard.img
  - u-boot.img
  - SPL
  - zImage

Flash the eMMC
==============

In the U-Boot prompt lauch:

=> ums 0 mmc 0

This will mount the eMMC content in the host PC as a mass storage device.

To determine the device associated to the eMMC 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 the eMMC card. Launch the following
command as root:

  dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/<your-sd-device>

*** WARNING! This will destroy all the eMMC content. Use with care! ***

For details about the medium image layout, see the definition in
board/freescale/common/imx/genimage.cfg.template.

Boot the i.MX7D Pico board
==========================

To boot your newly created system:
- 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!
