-How to build it
|
|
|
-===============
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Configure Buildroot:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- $ make toradex_apalis_imx6_defconfig
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Compile everything and build the rootfs image:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- $ make
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-How to boot the image
|
|
|
-=====================
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The board only boots from its internal flash memory eMMC, so the
|
|
|
-bootloader image should be copied to it, following the procedures
|
|
|
-described in Toradex website.

|
|

|
|
|
-Buildroot prepares a "sdcard.img" in output/images/ with the kernel
|
|
|
-image, device tree and a root filesystem, ready to be dumped on an SD
|
|
|
-card.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- $ dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-To boot from the SD card, you should change the U-Boot
|
|
|
-environment. Since U-Boot is running from internal eMMC, you will need
|
|
|
-to access its command line prompt and manually set the necessary
|
|
|
-variables to boot from the external SD card. For convenience, you can
|
|
|
-use uEnv.txt provided in output/images/ as a reference to create the
|
|
|
-necessary U-Boot variables to boot from the SD card.
