  1. Download the binary images for BSP-Yocto-FSL-iMX7-PD17PD18.21.x from PHYTEC's Artifactory.

  2. Extract the tarball to your desired working directory:

    Code Block
    tar -jxf BSP-Yocto-FSL-iMX7-PD17PD18.21.10.xml.tar.bz2 -C <WORK_DIR>
    Note

    See Release Notes for supported Yocto machine configurations, and replace <Yocto Machine> below with the appropriate machine for your hardware.

  3. Flash the SD card image to a micro SD card:

    Code Block
    sudo dd if=fsl-image-gui-<Yocto Machine>.sdcard of=/dev/sd<SD partition> bs=1M && sync
    Note

    For more information on formatting an SD card, see Creating a Bootable SD Card.

  4. If using the evaluation module PEB-EVAL-02, plug it into the expansion connector X16 on the carrier board.

  5. If using the WiFi/BT module PEB-WLBT-03, plug it into the expansion connector header.
  6. If using the LCD Display, connect the module PEB-AV-02-TC to the AV connectors X3 and X4.

  7. Plug micro SD card into slot on underside of board.

  8. Connect UART cable to the 5x2 pin header labelled "RS-232". This header requires an adapter as well as Null modem cable. When plugged in, the adapter cable should be oriented towards the USB and ethernet interfaces.

  9. Start your favorite terminal software (such as Minicom or TeraTerm) on your host PC and configure it for 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (8n1) with no handshake

  10. Connect 5V power supply to the 2-pin phoenix connector. Looking into the connector, the pin on the left is positive and the one next to it is negative.

  11. Press the "PWR" button (this may not be necessary if the battery has completely discharged). You will now start to see console output on your terminal window. If everything was done correctly the board should boot completely into Linux, arriving at a login prompt:
    "Freescale i.MX Release Distro 4.1.15-2.0.1 <Yocto Machine> /dev/ttymxc4"

    <Yocto Machine> login:


  12. The default login account is root with an empty password.

Non-Standard Kit SOM machine configurations are included in the Yocto layer meta-phytec-extra. To include this meta layer in the build, add it to the build/conf/bblayers.conf file:

Code Block
        ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-phytec/meta-phytec-fsl \
+       ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-phytec-extra \
  "

Not sure whether your SOM is part of a standard kit? See Release Notes Yocto Machine Config table for kit part numbers.

Note that v4.1.15-phy<X> and v2016.03-phy<X> within the paths pertain to the release tag for the linux and u-boot sources. This matches the value of RELEASE_VER for the corresponding recipes in meta-phytec-fsl. For example, for release PD17PD18.21.1 0 the kernel tag is v4.1.15-phy4.
