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 IMX8/iMX8MEVK/Getting Started/Software Support Linux BSP. You need to decompress the BSP (tar -xvf L4.9.88_2.0.0_images_MX8MQ.tar.gz). Then you will have a directory L4.9.88_2.0.0_images_MX8MQ, there you have a compressed image fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx-xwayland-imx8mqevk.sdcard.bz2
Extract the image running the following command:
bunzip2 -dk -f fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx-xwayland-imx8mqevk.sdcard.bz2
