        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.

Transfer the image

After you format and make your SD bootable, you're ready to transfer the image to it.

The QNX IPL reset vector offset is 0x8000 bytes. When you copy your QNX IPL to the SD, you must copy it to this offset. Linux host allow you to copy the image to a specific offset using the dd command in a terminal. On a Windows host, you must use the CFImager tool.

Provided with your BSP are prebuilt files that you can use. Alternatively, if you make modifications to the buildfile, you can rebuild the IFS and IPL. For information about building your BSP, see the Build the BSP section in this chapter.
