Bare-metal code for iMX6D

kaushalbisht200 — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 04:42:07 GMT

We are designing one custom board based on the i.MX6D.

1. We want to use bare-metal environment to check all peripherals, We don't want

to use the Linux or OS.From where we can get the bare-metal code for iMX6D?

2. Is JTAG is compulsory for the first time boot of the custom board. If yes,

from where we can by the JTAG otherwise what are the other ways to boot the

board first time.

Hello,

generally, the Platform SDK for i.MX6 contains set of stand-alone codes,

but it is not supported more. Nevertheless, You may provide me Your e-mail

or create request to get the SDK.

Yuri, what about my second query...

" Is JTAG is compulsory for the first time boot of the custom board. If yes, from where we can by the JTAG otherwise what are the other ways to boot the board first time."

Hi,

I have sent link of the SDK.

You may use internal USB bootloader of the i.MX6. The SDK builds
bootable images.

How to build bootable SD image (for i.MX6 SL as example)

Yuri.

Thanks for valuable reply. I got the platform SDK.

Yuri from the 2nd point , I mean... When we will get our board. We need to flash the binaries for the first time. So Is it possible to flash the binaries first time on RAW board using USB utilities?

As I know booting is possible in many (SD card, Ethernet, Flash, emmc) ways but during the first time boot, when we will get the new board at that time, How to flash the binaries on very new board?
