IMX6Q U-BooT

[CAT5000]

Hi, I have a custom camera with an IMX6q processor.
I have working firmware on an old bootloader and an old kernel.
I need to update the bootloader and kernel.
But I can't get past the kernel loading stage.
The UART log is always empty.
Please help.

Hello @CAT5000

Hello!

Actually, we have a guide for porting our processors to the last BSP version.

Please take a look to the UG10165 (i.MX Porting Guide).

There are described the changes that you need to do in U-boot.

Also, if you have the Sabre board, you can simply download the last version Pre-compiled image from Embedded Linux for i.MX Applications Processors and flash to your board.

Best regards, 

Salas.
