Request for Links to Files and Instructions for Installing Android OS on IMX6 SABRESDB

BDL-DNE — Sat, 27 Sep 2025 06:39:10 GMT

Hello NXP Community,

I’m currently working on loading Android OS onto my IMX6 SABRESDB development board, but I need some help. I’m looking for the direct links to all the required files and a detailed step-by-step guide to get Android up and running on the SABRESDB.

I would really appreciate it if someone could provide the following:

Direct links to the required files:
- Pre-built Android OS images or the source code.
- The correct kernel files for the SabresDB board.
- Any additional dependencies, such as bootloader files or specific device drivers, required for a successful installation.
Step-by-step installation instructions:
- A complete guide to flashing and installing Android on the DEVELOPMENT BOARD
- Any configuration steps that need to be followed for optimal functionality.
- Required tools or utilities (e.g., U-Boot, fastboot, UUU, etc.) to assist with the flashing process.
Troubleshooting Tips (if available):
- Any common issues that might arise during installation and recommended solutions.

I’ve searched through NXP documentation and forum posts, but I haven’t found a comprehensive guide that covers everything in detail for the SabresDB ,and if android is not available let me know and provide me the same requirements for Linux . Any help, resources, or pointers you can provide would be extremely appreciated!

Hi @BDL-DNE ,

You can try to download newest Linux images to the board, it is easy to boot up:

Embedded Linux for i.MX Applications Processors | NXP Semiconductors

For android BSP, when download it need the admin limit.

Android Demo images are here :

Any questions contact me freely
