Installation Notes

Overview

Here's the process to build and run your BSP:

1. Download the BSP, set up your environment, and extract the BSP. For more information, see Download and set up the BSP.
2. Connect your target board. After you connect the hardware, it may be necessary to set DIP switches on your board to further configure it. For more information about how to connect to your board, see Set up the hardware.
3. Create a bootable microSD card. After you create this card, you can either transfer prebuilt images that come with the BSP or change the buildfile to build your own, customized image. For more information about how to create a bootable microSD card, see Prepare a bootable microSD card.
4. If this is the first time you're running the BSP, you can transfer the provided IFS image file to the microSD card to boot your board using U-Boot. To get U-Boot, you must download it from the vendor of the NXP S32G-VNP-RDB3. For more information, see Transfer the image.
5. After you've put your image on the card, you can boot it. For more information about booting your board, see Boot using U-Boot.

After your board boots, you can use that image to understand how it works. Depending on the other devices that you've connected to the board, you may need to modify configuration settings on the image.

At some point, you may want to customize the image and rebuild it. For specific information about building the image for this board, see the Build the BSP chapter in this guide. For generic information about modifying and building an image, see the Building Embedded Systems guide in the QNX SDP 8.0 documentation.
