Preparing the microSD to boot the board

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

Note:

For descriptions of the boot processes, see Boot board.

Pre-built image

After you have unzipped the BSP, a prebuilt QNX IFS image is available in the BSP's /images directory.

This prebuilt IFS image is generated by the BSP make utility, and is configured for the various BSP device drivers already on your system. When you build the BSP, this image is overwritten with a new QNX IFS file that gets generated by the BSP build process, so you may want to make a copy of it for future reference. If you forget to make a backup copy of this image, you can simply extract the BSP from the ZIP file (.zip archive) again to recover the original prebuilt IFS. Before you can put the boot image on the microSD, you must prepare the microSD to be bootable. For more information, see the Preparing to boot the board in this chapter.
