******************************************** Buildroot for Engicam GEAM6UL SOM platforms: ******************************************** This file documents the Buildroot support for all Engicam GEAM6UL SOM platform boards. GEAM6UL SOM Starter kits: https://www.engicam.com/vis-prod/101115 This configuration uses U-Boot mainline and kernel mainline. Build ===== First, configure Buildroot for the Engicam GEAM6UL SOM: - for GEAM6UL SOM: make engicam_imx6ul_geam_defconfig Build all components: make You will find the following files in output/images/: - imx6ul-geam-kit.dtb - rootfs.ext4 - rootfs.tar - sdcard.img - SPL - u-boot-dtb.img - uImage 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 Buildroot prepares a bootable "sdcard.img" image in the output/images/ directory, ready to be dumped on a SD card. Launch the following command as root: dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/ sync *** WARNING! This will destroy all the card content. Use with care! *** For details about the medium image layout, see the definition in board/engicam/geam6ul/genimage.cfg Boot the GEAM6UL boards with SD boot: ==================================== To boot your newly created system: - insert the SD card in the SD slot of the board; - connect 3-wire RS232 serial port J28 on board, and connect with other serial end or USB cable(if serial-to-usb converter used) using a terminal emulator at 115200 bps, 8n1; - close JM3 for sd boot. - power on the board. Enjoy!
