How to use and build U-Boot on mx6sabresd: How to use and build U-Boot on mx6sabresd
---------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
Currently there are four methods for booting mx6sabresd boards:
1. Booting from SD card via normal U-Boot (u-boot.imx) The following methods can be used for booting mx6sabresd boards:
2. Booting from eMMC via normal U-Boot 1. Booting from SD card
3. Booting via SPL (SPL and u-boot.img) 2. Booting from eMMC
4. Booting via Falcon mode (SPL launches the kernel directly) 3. Booting via Falcon mode (SPL launches the kernel directly)

$ make mx6qsabresd_defconfig (If you want to build for mx6qsabresd) mx6sabresd_defconfig target supports mx6q/mx6dl/mx6qp sabresd variants.
or In order to build it:
$ make mx6dlsabresd_defconfig (If you want to build for mx6dlsabresd) $ make mx6sabresd_defconfig
$ make $ make
This will generate the image called u-boot.imx. This will generate the SPL and u-boot.img binaries.
- Flash the u-boot.imx binary into the SD card: - Flash the SPL binary into the SD card:
$ sudo dd if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/sdb bs=1K seek=1 && sync $ sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=1 && sync
- Flash the u-boot.img binary into the SD card:
2. Booting from eMMC via normal U-Boot $ sudo dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=69 && sync

Set SW6 to download mode: 00001100
Plug a usb cable to USB-OTG and load the u-boot image using the imx_usb_loader - Boot first from SD card as shown in the previous section

$ sudo ./imx_usb u-boot.imx

3. Booting via SPL 3. Booting via Falcon mode
------------------
Other method for building U-Boot on mx6qsabresd and mx6qpsabresd is
through SPL. In order to do so:
$ make mx6sabresd_spl_defconfig
$ make
This will generate the SPL image called SPL and the u-boot.img.
- Flash the SPL image into the SD card:
$ sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/sdb bs=1K seek=1 && sync
- Flash the u-boot.img image into the SD card:
$ sudo dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdbbs=1K seek=69 && sync
4. Booting via Falcon mode
-------------------------- --------------------------
$ make mx6sabresd_spl_defconfig $ make mx6sabresd_defconfig
$ make $ make
This will generate the SPL image called SPL and the u-boot.img. This will generate the SPL image called SPL and the u-boot.img.
