Downloading prebuilt image for IMX6SX-SABRE board

[venkatsubbiah]

I am looking to flash and boot IMX6SX-SABRE board from SD card.

I downloaded L4.9.88_2.0.0_MX6QDLSOLOX.tar.gz file from https://www.nxp.com/design/development-boards/i-mx-evaluation-and-development-boards/sabre-board-for...

From the zip file downloaded I extracted fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx-xwayland-imx6qpdlsolox.sdcard.bz2 and wrote it to a SD card using

sudo dd if=fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx-xwayland-imx6qpdlsolox.sdcard of=/dev/sdf bs=1M status=progress && sync

After the image is written fdisk shows the partitions as below. 

sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdg
Disk /dev/sdg: 29.8 GiB, 32010928128 bytes, 62521344 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xd7cffd0a

Device     Boot Start     End Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sdg1        8192   73727   65536   32M  c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdg2       73728 4431871 4358144  2.1G 83 Linux

The SD card prepared like above doesn’t boot. Appreciate any help for further debug.

Questions

Is that the correct image to use for the IMX6SX-SABRE board.?

Notes

• I know my board is good as I have an android image from a prior project I was working on and it works. From the console I can see u-boot boot up.

Hi @venkatsubbiah,

I hope you are doing well

It seems that the U-boot is not flashed.

Please refer to the below commands to flash the images.

1) sudo dd if=<image name>.sdcard of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && sync

Which you did. Kindly try to flash the U-boot image as well to boot the board.

2) sudo dd if=<U-Boot image> of=/dev/sdX bs=1k seek=1 conv=fsync

Thanks & Regards,
