I noticed that the ubuntu Image(.img.gz) available for iMX6 sabre lite board. But I don't know whether it include zImage. I downloaded the mfgtools and checked the ucl2.xml, I found the u-boot , zImage, initramfs and rootfs can be flashed into the board. My question is that is it enough to flash ubuntu Image after flashing u-boot. Should I flash the zImage separately?
The ubuntu Image I mentioned above is Ubuntu Trusty for i.MX6/7 boards – March 2016 (kernel 3.14.52)
which is located at http://boundarydevices.com.commondatastorage.googleapis.com/20160330-nitrogen-3.14.52_1.1.0_ga-trust...
As Gary said above, you can use the USB Mass Storage (ums) command to flash the image, which contains the kernel and userspace.
To add just a little detail:
Hi,
Yes the image includes the zImage and the device tree for the board.
But, as I said yesterday in one of your question, you should *not* use MFGTools with our images/platforms:
iMX6 sabre lite always in download mode
Also, we provide an option to flash the images under Windows if you don't have Linux:

Thanks
Hi
mfgtools is just small linux image and all linux commands can be executed
by it (add them to ucl2.xml). So "dd" command also can be used.

Hi igorpadykov,
Thanks for your reply.
I flashed uboot just now, and there is only uboot in my board, In this case, can I flash ubuntu image to my board ?

I have naver flashed the zImage, I don't know if the ubuntu image contains the zImage.
Hi
yes these linux commands also may work, please try to add
them to ucl2.xml. Also please read documentation in mfg tools
../Document folder.
For big images one can look at
Increasing the size of initfsram for mfgtool
