Can not Boot from SD Card with Linux and i.MX6 SABRE SD

Hi All,

#Yuri Muhin

I can not figure out why the SABRE SD board does not boot from the SD Card when I put Linux on it. Recently I bought i.mx6 quad Sabre SDB development board and I got a bootable  SD card with Android OS. When I put linux on it; it is not working.

  1. Could you please give me the link for suitable linux image for imx6 quad Sabre SDB board.
  2. Don't we have the complete linux bootable image for sabre sdb (with uboot and partitioned image) ? Is there any special way to write SD card to boot in sabre SDB development board ?
  3. Can I use this gz zip file >> http://www.freescale.com/webapp/Download?colCode=L3.14.28_1.0.0_iMX6QDLS_BUNDLE  << How can I chose correct image file for this ? Do I need to write complete gz file in SD card ?

I must be thankful to you if you will kindly reply me soon.

Regards,

Peter.

Hello,

generally HDMI environment settings are described in the following thread.

HDMI Audio Setting 

  Usually problems relate to incorrect U-boot environment setting.
The line should not contain such codes as space in parameter block (say, for HDMI) or LF.

setenv mmcargs 'setenv bootargs console=${console},${baudrate} ${smp} root=/dev/mmcblk2p2
rootwait rw video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24'

Hello,

   

Please try to prepare boot SD card, using NXP demo image, and boot it.
It is the simplest way to check boot options on the SDB.

The SD card demo image (it has .sdcard file extension) may be found on the NXP Web.

Summary Page :

i.MX 6 Series Software and Development Tool|NXP 

You may apply Win32DiskImager to copy the image to SD card under Windows host.

Hi Yuri,

Many thanks for your quick response. 

I did every thing according to your instructions and burned the SD card with " fsl-image-validation-imx-x11-imx6qdlsolo.sdcard " image and now the Sabre SDB board boot correctly. Thanks for your instructions.

But again I have a problem with HDMI output and it shows that " HDMI video is not ready ! "

Could you please advice on this ? I tried with " fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx-x11-imx6qdlsolo.sdcard " image also and but there is no any change.

Regards,

Peter.

There is always a chance that specific SD cards don't work for booting Linux. I have multiple cards from different manufacturers which look fine on the PC, but don't boot. However, same cards with Android might work fine.

So if you can't make above mentioned sdcard image working, simply try it with other SD cards.

Regards,

Bernhard.
