          • Before you begin

            Before you begin working with this BSP you should become familiar with the resources available to you when building QNX embedded systems.

          • 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 use this BSP to boot your board with the QNX OS.

            • Download and set up the BSP

              You can download Board Support Packages (BSPs) using the QNX Software Center.

            • Connect the hardware

              Attach the USB and other cables to the appropriate hardware connectors.

            • 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.

            • Preparing the microSD to boot the board

              You can prepare your microSD to boot using U-Boot.

          • Build the BSP

            You can use the QNX Momentics IDE or the commandline on Linux or Windows to build an image.

          • Configure 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 j721e-evm-graphics.build file, which starts Screen automatically.

Booting from OSPI

The preferred boot method for decreased boot times is to boot using the secondary boot loader (SBL) for OSPI. For instructions on booting from OSPI read section 2.4.2. SBL Boot of the Processor SDK QNX J721E documentation that's available on the Texas Instruments website at https://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-qnx-jacinto7/ 11_00_00_04/exports/docs/getting_started_j721e.html#sbl-boot
