Hi Sergio

nxp i.MX23 linux releases do not support openwrt, but one can check for example

I download openwrt 15.05 branch (Chaos Calmer) using

git clone -b chaos_calmer git://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git

run make menuconfig to configure it to target system "Freescale i.mx23/i.mx28" and target profile "Olimex Olinuxino maxi/mini boards"

run make V=s

and I obtain in the following dir ...bin/ mxs the next file

openwrt-mxs-olinuxino-maxi-sdcard-vfat-ext4.img

and using windows win32diskimager I copy to SD card

I load my custom board but my output is

U-Boot 2015.01 (May 03 2017 - 20:41:15)

CPU:   Freescale i.MX23 rev1.4 at 454 MHz

I not have keyboard to write something

I see in https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/olimex/imx233-olinuxino the next comment

Further notes

The board uses a special boot image called bootstream / safeboot. The file includes a zImage, a compiled devicetree, and various preparation bootlets (power_, sdram_, linux_)- these are contained in package/imx-bootlets. The image is created by the elftosb tool.

My question is

How can i copy the correct files to SD card and with what tool

Thanks for your help
