Write the image to an SD card
Using a Linux based host
Plug-in the SD card to your Linux HOST PC, run dmesg and see which device is added (i.e. /dev/sdX or /dev/mmcblkX)
$ gunzip var-mx6ul-debian-recovery-sd.vXX.img.gz $ sudo umount /dev/sdX* $ sudo dd if=var-mx6ul-debian-recovery-sd.vXX.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M; sync
(Replace /dev/sdX with your actual device)
Using a Windows based host
Download Win32 Disk Imager from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/, install and run it.
Select the image file, and the SD card device - double check that the device is correct to avoid accidentally overwriting a different device.
Click on "Write".
No need to format the SD card before writing the image to it.
Recover NAND flash/eMMC
- Power-off the board.
- Insert the SD card into the SD card slot of the carrier board (DVK)
- Make sure the Boot DIP switches are set to SD card: Setting the Boot Mode
- Power up the board - it will boot into Linux from the SD card
Flash from command line
- Login as root (password root)
- From Linux command line, type the following
# debian-nand.sh - Flash Debian into NAND flash (for SOMs with NAND flash)
In case you are using a SOM with eMMC, run the following command as root to install Debian on it:
# debian-emmc.sh - Flash Debian into eMMC (for SOMs with eMMC)
