        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.
        Boot the board
        After you transfer the image to an microSD, you can use it to boot your board.
        Boot from an eMMC memory device
        You can prepare a bootable eMMC memory device to use to boot your board.
        Boot using xSPI NOR flash
        After you boot your board, you can prepare a bootable xSPI NOR flash device to use 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.

Boot using xSPI NOR flash

QNX Board Support Packages8.0BSP User's GuideIMX95 EVK BoardNXPNXPARM

After you boot your board, you can prepare a bootable xSPI NOR flash device to use to boot your board.

Note:

Before you can perform the steps to prepare a bootable xSPI NOR flash, you must first boot your board using a bootable SD . For more information, see Prepare a bootable microSD and Use the QNX IPL to boot your board.

After you have QNX OS running, complete the following steps to prepare a bootable xSPI NOR Flash.

Start the devf-nxp-fspi driver from commandline in QNX if not started during QNX boot.
You should see fs0, fs0p0 devices (partitions) appear in device files. You can use the ls /dev command to show the dev directory.
Format the SPI NOR Flash memory using following command:
```
flashctl -ev -p /dev/fs0
```
Copy the QNX IPL files [ipl-imx95-evk_b0_flash.imx] and QNX IFS to the /tmp directory on your board. Both files are in $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images directory.
Copy the QNX IPL file onto the memory device using the following command:
```
dd if=/tmp/ipl-imx95-evk_b0_flash.imx of=/dev/fs0
```
Copy imx95-19x19-evk.dtb file on the memory device at 0x200000 offset using this command:
```
dd if=/tmp/imx95-19x19-evk.dtb of=/dev/fs0 seek=4096 bs=512
```
Copy the QNX IFS file qnx-ifs on the memory device at 0x300000 offset using this command:
```
dd if=/tmp/qnx-ifs of=/dev/fs0 seek=6144 bs=512
```
Configure the DIP switches to boot your board using xSPI NOR Flash memory instead of the SD as follows:
Figure 1DIP switch configuration for the i.MX 95 EVK board to boot from QSPI

For more information, see Set up the hardware in this guide about configuring the DIP switches on the board.

Press the SW2 (RESET) switch on the i.MX 95 EVK board to reset the board and press the F key to boot from xSPI NOR Flash:
