Use QNX IPL to boot board

To boot the target using QNX IPL, you need first to copy the required files in the tezi_qnx_bsp_imx8qm-cpu-apalis_b0.zip, (BB-QNX-40x.png, image.json, ipl-imx8qm-cpu-apalis_b0.imx, and qnx-ifs) to your microSD card, then use the Toradex Easy Installer (TEZI) to install QNX OS on your target.

CAUTION:
After you complete the following steps, you won't be able to use the Toradex Easy Installer (TEZI) anymore to install QNX OS (QNX IPL and QNX IFS) on the target because the TEZI is removed. If you decide that you want to use the TEZI again to install QNX OS, you must load TEZI from an SD card, USB stick, or via USB OTG. For more information, see Use recovery mode to load the Toradex Easy Installer in this chapter.
After you run the TEZI on the target and access it, for example using VNC client.
  1. Insert your microSD card into your board. The TEZI automatically detects TEZI compatible files from the SD card as shown in the following illustration:
    Figure 1Install QNX IPL using TEZI
  2. Select QNX Neutrino RTOS, and then press i or and click Install. A prompt appears that notifies you that All existing data on the internal flash will be overwritten.
  3. Click Yes and then you'll see the following loading prompt that indicates that the QNX IPL and QNX IFS are being installed on the board (copied to the eMMC):

  4. When the following prompt appears, select or click the Reboot button to reset the board.
    Figure 3Prompt to reset the board
After board resets and runs IPL from on-bood eMMC. You'll see the prompt via the serial connection to select where to boot the QNX IFS from. Since the TEZI puts the QNX IFS on the eMMC, press M to boot from the microSD card.
