Download the "fsl-image-validation-imx-<Yocto Machine>.sdcard" image which will be used to format a bootable SD card. The binary images for BSP-Yocto-FSL-iMX7-PD18.1.x are available on PHYTEC's Artifactory, and images are organized by machine name.
Flash the SD card image to a micro SD card:
Code Block sudo dd if=fsl-image-validation-imx-<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.
If using the evaluation module PEB-EVAL-02, plug it into the expansion connector X16 on the carrier board.
- If using the WiFi/BT module PEB-WLBT-03, plug it into the expansion connector header.
- If using the LCD Display, connect the module PEB-AV-02-TC to the AV connectors X3 and X4.
Plug micro SD card into slot on underside of board.
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.
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
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.
- 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:
NXP i.MX Release Distro 4.9.11-1.0.0 <Yocto Machine> ttymxc4
<Yocto Machine> login: root
- The default login account is root with an empty password.
