i.Mx. 6 SoloLite Linux images

[kf5obs]

Community,

I seem to be unable to get Linux (Ubuntu) started on mt i.Mx. 6 SoloLite kit. My biggest problem seems to be getting a hold of the correct images. I did download the archives that are available on the product page, but I need help with using the files. I know how to create a bootable SD card from an image. I guess my problem is finding out what files are the actual image. None of the archives contain a "*.img" or similar file, nor are there any explanatory files in the archives.

Download Ubuntu file system image and 12.10.02 demo image from here.

Download Linux Docs bundle from here.

Follow instructions in Linux User Guide, chapter 8, to create SD card with u-boot, kernel and partition and format SD card. Instead of steps to copy root file system to the partition you created, run following to use Ubuntu FS:

cd <path_where_sd_card_partition_is_mounted> 

sudo tar --numeric-owner -xzvf /<path>/12.10.02_oneiric.tgz

After you unmount SD card and start to boot, you might need to adjust boot parameters as explained in Chapter 9.2. of Linux User Guide.
