Giulio Benetti 1cb61e5d0a configs/freescale_imx6ullevk_defconfig: bump Linux and U-Boot to lf-6.1.36-2.1.0
Let's also enable NXP firmware package to let latest SDMA firmware to be
loaded.  To achieve this we also need to enable dynamic eudev to let it to
load the firmware as it is requested early before the rootfs is mounted.

****************************
Freescale i.MX6ULL EVK board
****************************

This file documents the Buildroot support for the Freescale i.MX6ULL EVK board.

Build
=====

First, configure Buildroot for your i.MX6ULL EVK board:

In order to do so there are two supported options:

  make freescale_imx6ullevk_defconfig

if you plan to use NXP provided U-Boot and kernel.

or

  make imx6ullevk_defconfig

if you plan to use mainline U-Boot and mainline kernel.

Build all components:

  make

You will find in output/images/ the following files:
  - boot.vfat
  - imx6ull-14x14-evk.dtb
  - rootfs.ext2
  - rootfs.ext4
  - rootfs.tar
  - sdcard.img
  - u-boot.bin
  - u-boot.imx
  - zImage

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

Buildroot prepares a bootable "sdcard.img" image in the output/images/
directory, ready to be dumped on a SD card. Launch the following
command as root:

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

*** WARNING! This will destroy all the card 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.MX6ULL EVK board
===========================

To boot your newly created system (refer to the i.MX 6ULL EVK Quick Start Guide [1] for guidance):
- insert the SD card in the micro SD slot of the board;
- 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!
