What is the status of iMX8 support?
@dvescovi , i started an early guide for another user to test a wifi module on this board. (still only armhf userspace)
1: Create microSD
Jumpers 1100 (microSD)
#microSD in x86: (lsblk shows drive is /dev/sdf)
wget https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/2018-12-10/elinux/debian-9.6-console-armhf-2018-12-10.tar.xz
tar xf debian-9.6-console-armhf-2018-12-10.tar.xz
cd debian-9.6-console-armhf-2018-12-10/
sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdf --dtb hwpack/imx8mq-evk.conf
git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/imx8-linux-devshow original
2: Write Base Image to eMMC while booted on microSD
sudo apt update
sudo apt install kpartx parted
#unlock/clear eMMC boot partitions..
sudo sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro"
sudo sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot1/force_ro"
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0boot0 bs=1M count=4
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0boot1 bs=1k count=4show original
3: eMMC Kernel Update script..
sudo rsync -av /boot/ /mnt/emmc_boot/ --delete ;\
sudo rsync -av /lib/modules/ /mnt/emmc/lib/modules/ --delete ;\
sudo rm /mnt/emmc_boot/fsl-imx8mq-evk.dtb ;\
sudo cp -v /mnt/emmc_boot/fsl-imx8mq-evk-emmc.dtb /mnt/emmc_boot/fsl-imx8mq-evk.dtb ;\
sudo systemctl poweroff
There are more than three files. show original
At the time, mainline u-boot didn’t fully support the imx8, so I utilized buildroot’s u-boot build.
I need to fix my apm-mustang (it broke when upgrading to buster), so i can start generating arm64 debian root file systems…
Regards,
