Hi Everyone,

I have build the source for imx6ulevk through yocto for imx6. In the build directly I found lot of files with u-boot.imx and u-boot.imx-sd. I want to download u-boot into imx6.

Can someone tell me

what is the difference between u-boot.imx and u-boot.imx-sd?

which one should i program into my imx6ulevk kit and where can i find the document for downloading uboot?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Asma

do you have u-boot-imx6ul14x14evk_sd.imx? I think you should use this image

Hi, Asma Alekar

Basically, there is no difference between u-boot.imx and u-boot.imx-sd images. You can check this by using ls -l command in <yocto_build>/tmp/deploy/images/imx6ulevk/ directory. You can see that both u-boot.imx and u-boot.imx-sd points to the same u-boot image.

You can refer i.MX_Linux_User's_Guide document specific to Yocto BSP version to flash the bootloader image. Here I have attached the i.MX_Linux_User's_Guide of Yocto BSP 4.1.15.
