02. Install on SD card

This chapter shows how to deploy different sdcard images.

Let's assume that the sdcard device file is /dev/sdg

Pre-built images from CompuLab's website:

Download pre-built Yocto image:

• CL-SOM-iMX6UL Yocto image
• CL-SOM-iMX6 Yocto image

Issue this command in order to flash the downloaded image:

If the pre-built Yocto image is in .zip format, issue:

unzip -p pre-built-yocto-image.zip | xz -dc - | sudo dd of=/dev/sdg

If the pre-built Yocto image is in .xz format, issue:

xz -dc pre-built-yocto-image.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdg

Images built from BSP:

Issue one of these commands depends on a created image format:

• for sdcard.xz image issue:

xz -dc tmp/deploy/images/${MACHINE}/${IMAGE}-${MACHINE}.sdcard.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdg

• for sdcard.bz2 image issue:

bzip2 -dc tmp/deploy/images/${MACHINE}/${IMAGE}-${MACHINE}.sdcard.bz2 | sudo dd of=/dev/sdg

• for sdcard image issue:

sudo dd if=tmp/deploy/images/${MACHINE}/${IMAGE}-${MACHINE}.sdcard of=/dev/sdg

Proceed to Boot from SD card
