VAR-SOM-MX6 - First Time? Start Here.

Step One: Read Documentations

Please download and read the development kit documentation.

• VAR-SOM-MX6 Kit
• DART-MX6 Kit
• VAR-SOM-SOLO Kit

NOTE:
Make sure you read the Quick Start Guide.

Step Two: Development Environment

Set up your development environment.

• Setting Development Environment

Step Three: Power Up

Power up the board.
You should have the serial cable connected to the debug port, as describe in the quick start guide
When board boots, make sure you see the u-boot prints on your host PC hyper terminal. You will need to type-in commands in the command prompt late in the development stages

IMPORTANT:
Don't continue without the serial console operating.

Step Four: A quick test with NAND recovery SD-Card

Please follow the below guide to boot DVK with a bootable SD-Card , and burn a complete yocto into NAND-Flash

• NAND recovery SD-Card

Step Five: What next?

Your next step can be one of :

• Build Yocto from source code. The below steps will help you build a complete Yocto build, resulting in all required binaries to create a full bootable Yocto SD-Card, and all required binaries that are required to burn to NAND-Flash.
  • Build a complete Yocto
  • Build Linux Kernel from source code. only if changes in kernel are required (Changes in device tree..etc)
  • Build u-boot from source code, only if changes in u-boot are required
  • Customize linux-variscite
