how to run application in i.mx6

[owen_lin]

Dear all,

this is my first time do this,

i'm build i.mx6 and  create sd card finish. That sd card can run. 

( DISTRO=fsl-imx-x11 MACHINE=imx6qsabresd source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build & bitbake fsl-image-qt5)

i build test application and i add the sd card, but i can't find that application when i.mx 6 is run.

how to do add application in the i.mx 6?

Hi owen,

To build an application you may use metatoolchain. E.g.

$ bitbake meta-toolchain
$ sh tmp/deploy/sdk/poky-eglibc-x86_64-arm-toolchain-1.4.1.sh
$ source /opt/poky/1.4.1/environment-setup-armv7a-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi
$ arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -v
$ arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc hello.c -o hello

Once you have the binary output you need to copy it into the root filesystem. Please note in your sdcard you will have 2 partitions:

- One FAT partition containing zImage and device tree. This partition is visible in Windows and Linux.

-One Linux partition containing the root filesystem. This partition is only visible in Linux and here you must copy the binary output that you want to run.
