Where can I find mcimx6qp-sdb documentation?

I just received a mcimx6qp-sdb board and I am looking for documentation. All I can find particular to this board is the quick start guide, which is extremely sparse.

Specific information I would like to know:

  • What do each of the switches for SW6 do? What other boot modes can be set with this switch?
  • Why doesn't the serial console come up when I try to boot from an SD card other than the one that ships with the reference board? (I've tried booting to  images that work for an Boundary Devices Sabrelite board, but nothing ever shows up on the console or the attached display).

But, any documentation would be helpful and appreciated.

Thanks Ross
We found the issue with the: 'Error reading cluster' from another post here -It appears there is/was some kind of SD card compatibility issue.

Thanks Ross- I believe the link you provide contains only the binaries. Anyhow I discovered that I was building from the wrong branch (dizzy) when it appears QP needs krogoth (based on L4.1.15 docs posted by Igor) which was why the machine=imx6qpsabresd didn't exist. Now however after building it seems I get an 'Error reading cluster' problem in the uboot any hints about how to debug this would be appreciated.

Hi Tim,

I'm more a hardware guy than software, you should have been able to get to the source from the link I think.

Anyway this might help you -

https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-328584 

Within that is a link to Yocto training, after that try searching the community for yocto build, I got a bunch of stuff, not sure whether helpful or not, but worth looking over.

If none of this helps I suggest starting a new thread with specifics on the issue you face, adding to older threads or changing the topic in the middle of the thread is maybe not the best way to get you help.

Regards

Ross

Igor, In the last link you provided, there does not appear to be a Linux BSP for the QuadPlus (only Android). On the shipped SD card is a sticker: iMX6QP-SDB LINUX L3.14.53_1.1.0-110-78007 REV A 
Any help on where to get most recent BSP for QuadPlus would be appreciated.

Hi Tim,

QuadPlus will be supported in all our BSP releases now -

L4.1.15_2.0.0_MX6QDLSOLO 

May not see Plus specifically mentioned now, but should be grouped with the original Quad/Dual parts I think.

Regards
