Overview
This article provides instructions needed to install the Yocto Linux live image onto the Compulab IOT-GATE-IMX8PLUS / SBC-IOT-IMX8PLUS internal storage.
The recommended installation procedure is using a host PC with a Debian-based operating system.
Preparing the workstation
- Obtain a Debian-based workstation with a free USB port.
- Install bmap-tools package if not installed
- Obtain a USB flash drive. Any commercially available USB flash drive of 4GB (or larger) may be used for the installation.
- Plug the USB flash drive into the host PC. From now we assume the device name of the flash drive on your Linux PC is /dev/sdX.
Preparing the Yocto Linux live image
- The Yocto Linux live image and block map file (bmap), mentioned below, are generated during the Building IOT-GATE-IMX8PLUS / SBC-IOT-IMX8PLUS Yocto process:
- Live image: imx-image-full-iot-gate-imx8plus.rootfs.wic.zst
- Block map file: imx-image-full-iot-gate-imx8plus.rootfs.wic.bmap
Preparing Installation Media
- Flash the image file to the USB flash drive by the means of bmaptool utility:
sudo bmaptool copy /path/to/imx-image-full-iot-gate-imx8plus.rootfs.wic.zst --bmap /path/to/imx-image-full-iot-gate-imx8plus.rootfs.wic.bmap /dev/sdX
Run Yocto Linux live image
- Insert the USB flash drive into one of the USB ports. It's recommended to use USB3.0 port
- Power on the device, stop in U-Boot and issue:
run distro_bootcmd
- Wait for the GRUB menu
Installing Yocto images onto the internal storage
- In the GRUB menu choose Install NXP i.MX Release Distro option
GNU GRUB version 2.12
