      - Before You Begin
        Before you begin working with this BSP, you should become familiar with the resources available to you.
      - About This BSP
        This chapter lists what's included in the BSP, the supported host system operating systems, and other relevant information to use this BSP.
      - Installation Notes
        These installation notes describe how to build, work with, and run this BSP.
        Download and set up the BSP
        You can download Board Support Packages (BSPs) using the QNX Software Center.
        Set up the hardware
        Before you can work with the board, here are a few things you must do. You'll need to connect the board and set the DIP switches. For more information, see the hardware guide for the Xilinx KD240 on the NXP website.
        Prepare a bootable microSD
        You can prepare a bootable microSD on a Linux or Windows host system. We recommend that you use Class 10 (or UHS-1) microSDs.
        Transfer the image
        After you format and make your microSD bootable, you're ready to transfer the image to it.
        Use the QNX IPL to boot board
        You can use the provided QNX IPL to load your QNX IFS image and Device Tree Binary.
        Booting QNX IFS using U-Boot
        You can use U-Boot to load your QNX IFS image and Device Tree Binary
        Boot the board
        After you transfer the image to an microSD, you can use it to boot your board.
      - Build the BSP
        You can use the QNX Momentics IDE or the commandline on Linux, or Windows to build an image.
      - Using the Screen Graphics Subsystem
        The default buildfile (kd240.build that's provided with this BSP doesn't build an image that starts the Screen Graphics Subsystem (Screen). Instead, you must use the image that's built from the imx8mp-evk-graphics.build file, which starts Screen automatically.
      - Driver Commands
        The tables below provide a summary of driver commands for the Xilinx KD240.

Booting QNX IFS using U-Boot

You can use U-Boot to load your QNX IFS image and Device Tree Binary

It is possible to boot the i.MX 8MP EVK board using U-Boot. To use U-Boot i.MX 8MP EVK board, you are required to download the Embedded Linux for i.MX Applications Processors package for i.MX 8MP EVK board that is available at NXP's website - www.nxp.com/webapp/sps/download/license.jsp?colCode=L5.15.5_1.0.0_MX8MP&appType=file1&DOWNLOAD_ID=null

Follow the steps in Prepare a bootable microSD, to prepare SD

The U-Boot file used is imx-boot-imx8mpevk-sd.bin-flash_evk. Use the dd tool to flash U-Boot:

$ sudo dd if=imx-boot-imx8mpevk-sd.bin-flash_evk of=/dev/sda bs=1k seek=32 conv=notrunc;
$ sync;

Generate U-Boot compatible IFS image ifs-imx8mp-evk as below:
```
$ cd $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images/
$ make ifs-imx8mp-evk
```

Copy the U-Boot compatible IFS image ifs-imx8mp-evk and DTB imx8mp-evk.dtb to SD

$mount
...
/dev/sda1 on /media/074B-DAC7
...
$ cp ifs-imx8mp-evk /media/074B-DAC7/ifs-imx8mp-evk
$ cp imx8mp-evk.dtb /media/074B-DAC7/imx8mp-evk.dtb

To load the DTB and QNX IFS stop the U-Boot autoboot by pressing any key and run the following commands:
```
=> fatload mmc 1 0x40000000 imx8mp-evk.dtb
=> fatload mmc 1 0x40800000 ifs-imx8mp-evk
=> go 0x40800000 0x40000000
```
