This file documents the Buildroot support for the Freescale i.MX28 EVK board.
|
|
Read the i.MX28 Evaluation Kit Quick Start Guide [1] for an introduction to the
|
board.
|
|
Build
|
=====
|
|
First, configure Buildroot for your i.MX28 EVK board:
|
|
make freescale_imx28evk_defconfig
|
|
Build all components:
|
|
make
|
|
You will find in ./output/images/ the following files:
|
- imx28-evk.dtb
|
- rootfs.tar
|
- u-boot.sd
|
- 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
|
|
Then, run the following command as root:
|
|
*** WARNING! The command will destroy all the card content. Use with care! ***
|
|
sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/<your-microsd-device>
|
|
Boot the i.MX28 EVK board
|
=========================
|
|
To boot your newly created system (refer to the i.MX28 EVK Quick Start Guide
|
[1] for guidance):
|
- insert the SD card in the SD Card Socket 0 of the board;
|
- verify that your i.MX28 EVK board jumpers and switches are set as mentioned
|
in the i.MX28 EVK Quick Start Guide [1];
|
- connect an RS232 UART cable to the Debug UART Port and connect using a
|
terminal emulator at 115200 bps, 8n1;
|
- power on the board.
|
|
Enjoy!
