Prebuilt images are .sdcard files, disk images that can be flashed directly to any SD card. These .sdcard files are the simplest way to evaluate the board and Linux features since they easily flash all the required components to boot the iMX8M EVK.

The .sdcard file includes the 4 elements required to boot the board:

  • Bootloader
  • Linux kernel image
  • Device tree
  • Root file system

You can get the prebuilt images from the latest Linux BSP. You need to decompress the BSP and decompress the bz2 image sdcard included in it.

For BSP L4.9.88_2.0.0 run:

 tar -xvf L4.9.88_2.0.0_images_MX8MQ.tar.gz
 cd L4.9.88_2.0.0_images_MX8MQ
 IMAGE_NAME=fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx-xwayland-imx8mqevk
 bunzip2 -dk -f  $IMAGE_NAME.sdcard.bz2
