  9. Build
  10. =====
  11. First, configure Buildroot for the i.MX8QM MEK board:
  12. $ make freescale_imx8qmmek_defconfig
  13. Build all components:
  14. $ make
  15. You will find in output/images/ the following files:
  16. - ahab-container.img
  17. - bl31.bin
  18. - boot.vfat
  19. - fsl-imx8qm-mek.dtb

  36. Create a bootable SD card
  37. =========================
  38. To determine the device associated to the SD card have a look in the
  39. /proc/partitions file:
  40. cat /proc/partitions
  41. Buildroot prepares a bootable "sdcard.img" image in the output/images/
  42. directory, ready to be dumped on a SD card. Launch the following
  43. command as root:
  44. dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/<your-sd-device>
  45. *** WARNING! This will destroy all the card content. Use with care! ***
  46. For details about the medium image layout, see the definition in
  47. board/freescale/common/imx/genimage.cfg.template_imx8.
  48. Boot the i.MX8QM MEK board
  49. ==========================
  50. To boot your newly created system:
  51. - insert the SD card in the SD slot of the board;
  52. - Configure the boot switch as follows:
  53. SW2: OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF
  54. - put a micro USB cable into the Debug USB Port and connect using a terminal
  55. emulator at 115200 bps, 8n1;
  56. - power on the board.
  57. Enjoy!
