hi thanks all ,

for your reply. now I am able to build the fsl-image-qt5 image . but in the display I am getting only the qt5 app. want to work with terminal and other apps .

Please let me know how to set that up..?

and in the hyper terminal in the boot menu I am asked to enter user name and password please let me know where can I find the credentials.

Hi,

as for the credentials, the user name is root and no password should be required.

What do you mean by "the qt5 app"? After boot, a green-white coloured environment should appear and all apps should be there.

Like this:

Thanks Jan Spurek

yes I got it.. actually the remaining apps are in the side windows...

Hello Lavakumar,

what is your configuration of S1, S2 and S3 switches?

For booting from SD card should be:

(S1) 0100100000 (from 1-10 bit)

(S2) 0010 (from 1-4 bit)

(S3) 0010 (from 1-4 bit)

hi jan,

thanks for replying.

my switch settings are the same:

(S1) 0100100000 (from 1-10 bit)

(S2) 0010 (from 1-4 bit)

(S3) 0011 (from 1-4 bit)

except for switch 3. is that the problem?

and sd-card inserted at sd/mmc slot in cpu board.

and I am connecting serial cable from UART DEBUG on board to rs232 port in host pc.

Please check and reply.

Regards,

Lavakumar S

[jan_spurek]

Yes, that might be the case. Please change setting of the S3 switch and see if the board boots.

edit: And what is the configuration of boot mode switch?

edit2: Now I noticed, that you mention you used  " u-boot-imx6qsabreauto.imx" image. The .imx file is not an image file. This file contains compiled u-boot which is only one part of the image. The image file has .sdcard extension.

[lavakumars]

configuration of boot mode switch is   sw3:00 (0-1)

Hi Lavakumar

for  imx6qp u-boot-imx6qpsabreauto_sd.imx should be used.

For programming please use mfg tools

Programmers (Flash, etc.) (2)
IMX6_L4.1.15_MFG_TOOL (REV L4.1.15_1.0.0)
http://www.nxp.com/products/microcontrollers-and-processors/arm-processors/i.mx-applications-process...

use appropriate vbs script,  like mfgtool2-yocto-mx-sabreauto-sdcard-sd3-cpu3.vbs.

Also please check attached Linux Guide sect.4.5 How to boot the i.MX boards

sect.4.3.2 Copying the full SD card image

Best regards

hi ,

thanks for the reply.

I checked the above but still require the procedure to follow.

* required a SD card image which boots up all (u-boot, kernel and Linux ).to test the hardware

Lavakumar S

[jan_spurek]

The full image should be located in the archive you downloaded. It is the file with "sdcard" in the name and .bz2 extension. For example  fsl-image-gui-x11-imx6qdlsolo.sdcard.bz2. You need to open it, extraxt the .sdcard extension file and load it into an SD card using the dd command or win32 diskimager.

[lavakumars]

I am trying to boot using u-boot only.

can you tell me the procedure to use .sdcard image.

coz I did "dd if= (sdcard image file name).sdcard of=/dev/sdb bs=1M&&sync" and tried out come nothing

[lavakumars]

I tried but still the problem persists.
