You could get pre-build image as the following

$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/sdk/lsdk2012/firmware_ls1043ardb_uboot_sdboot.img

$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/sdk/lsdk2012/bootpartition_LS_arm64_lts_5.4.tgz

$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/sdk/lsdk2012/rootfs_lsdk2012_ubuntu_main_arm64.tgz

Then use the following command to deploy images to SD, /dev/sdx is SD device name.

$ flex-installer -f firmware_ls1043ardb_uboot_sdboot.img -b bootpartition_LS_arm64_lts_5.4.tgz -r rootfs_lsdk2012_ubuntu_main_arm64.tgz -d /dev/sdx

Then configure the target board boot from SD, the board will boot up automatically.

firmware_ls1043ardb_uboot_sdboot.img is generate with the following command, it includes u-boot, firmwares, kernel image and tiny rootfs.

$ flex-builder -i mkfw -m ls1043ardb -b sd

bootpartition_LS_arm64_lts_5.4.tgz includes Image, dtb, bootscript is generated with the following command.

$ flex-builder -i mkbootpartition -a arm64

rootfs_lsdk2012_ubuntu_main_arm64.tgz is ubuntu main rootfs image, it is generated with the following command.

$ flex-builder -i mkrfs -r ubuntu:main
