Prepare microSD card to install QNX IPL

Please use the following steps to copy the QNX IFS image to your microSD card:

  1. Insert your microSD card into your host computer.
  2. Navigate to the $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images directory and extract the archive tezi_qnx_bsp_imx8qm-cpu-apalis_b0.zip. In a terminal (Linux) or Command Prompt window (Windows), extract the ZIP file:
    unzip -d tezi tezi_qnx_bsp_imx8qm-cpu-apalis_b0.zip
  3. In your terminal (Linux) or Command Prompt window (Windows), copy the files (BB-QNX-40x.png, image.json, ipl-imx8qm-cpu-apalis_b0.imx, and qnx-ifs) that you extracted in the previous step to the microSD card (SD_location_of_card).

    Copy board device tree file to microSD card as imx-dtb. Please see Install QNX IFS for details regarding how to retrieve board device tree files.

    For example, on Windows where G: is the location of the SD_location_of_card:
    $ cd %BSP_ROOT_DIR%/images
    $ copy tezi\* G:\
    $ copy G:\imx8qm-apalis-v1.1-ixora-v1.2.dtb G:\imx-dtb
                        
    For example on Linux host where /media/074B-DAC7 is the mountpoint for microSD card:
    $ mount /dev/sda1 /media/074B-DAC7
    $ cd $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images
    $ cp tezi/* /media/074B-DAC7/
    $ cp /media/074B-DAC7/imx8qm-apalis-v1.1-ixora-v1.2.dtb /media/074B-DAC7/imx-dtb
                        
  4. Eject the microSD card (Windows), or unmount and then eject (Linux) the microSD card from your host machine.

Your microSD card is now ready for use by the TEZI to program IPL to on-board eMMC.
