Booting Android using prebuilt image on imx6 sabre

munnurusrikanth — Fri, 19 May 2017 05:39:56 GMT

I am trying to bring android on IMX6 sabre. I am using prebuilt image n711-nitrogen6x-20170426.img.gz.

I have followed following steps

On linux pc :

zcat n711-nitrogen6x-20170426.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdb bs=1M

On Sabre board:

setenv boot_android 'setenv bootargs console=ttymxc1,115200 init=/init root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 rw rootwait video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,bpp=32 video=mxcfb1:off video=mxcfb2:off fbmem=10M fb0base=0x27b00000 vmalloc=400M androidboot.console=ttymxc1 androidboot.hardware=freescale androidboot.bootdev=mmcblk1 ; mmc dev 1;ext4load mmc 1 10800000 zImage; ext4load mmc 1 12800000 uramdisk.img;ext4load mmc 1 13000000 imx6q-sabrelite.dtb;bootz 10800000 12800000 13000000'

run boot_android

In the end logs are as follows

What is wrong in my procedure. Could you please suggest any changes to make the board up and running. Thanks in advance...

Hi MUNNURU

nitrogen and sabre are different boards and different images should be used:

for nitrogen please look at

Android Nougat 7.1.1 release for i.MX6 boards - Boundary Devices

for sabre

http://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=IMX6_N7.1.1_1.0.0_ANDROID_DEMO_SD_BSP&appType=license&location=null&Parent_no…
