Variscite provides a recovery SD card image that can be used to install the pre-built Debian images into the internal storage device of the SOM.
Download the recovery SD card image
Download stretch-4.14.78-mx8m-v1.0.img.gz
from Variscite's FTP server: ftp://customerv:Variscite1@ftp.variscite.com/DART-MX8M/Software/debian/
Note: Some web browsers have removed FTP support. Please see our FTP wiki page.
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 mx8m-dart-debian-recovery-sd.vXX.img.gz $ sudo umount /dev/sdX* $ sudo dd if=mx8m-dart-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
$ install_debian.sh - Flash Debian into eMMC
