I've received a MCIMX6Q-SBD board and it includes an SD card that boots this thing to Android. I'd like to board to boot to Linux. I'm running Windows. I tried using MX6Q-SABRE_AI_UBUNTU_1.1.1.exe but it complains about the included SD card not having enough space. (Windows won't mount it, obvious, since it's a Linux file system.)
Is there a tool to make this easy? I can't imagine there wouldn't be but I am too new to know where to look.
Ah, this thread finally did the trick ...

Need to unplug the SD card when it boots and then plug it back in after it is attached to the PC so it will be flashable.

So I'm gathering there is some configuration of dip switches to tell the board to boot into "flash-able" mode or something (instead of booting from the SD card)? I've been going through all the documentation I can find without any luck telling me how to configure this thing so I can use the manufacturing tool referenced above by SerchMX. Any further pointers?
Yes, there is a tool to flash the SD:

Under "Hardware Development Tools" >> "Programmers" >> "IMX_6DQ_MFG_TOOL"

That's all find and good but plugging the board into my Windows 7 PC it loads a driver and calls the device "SABRESD-MX6DQ". Launching the manufacturing tool it does not find the device to write the image to. Keeps saying "Unassigned" where the documentation says it should say something like "Hub 6--Port 3".
