1. On a Linux PC, plug in a micro SD Card, either directly or using an USB-to-SD card converter. Any SD/SDHC Card should work.16 MB or more in density is sufficient.

2. Find out a /dev/sdX device the system has assigned to your micro SD Card. Here are some examples:

   • Card already has some partitions:

     Code Block
     $ dmesg | tail ... sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] 3909632 512-byte logical blocks: (2.00GB/1.86GiB) sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Cache data unavailable sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through sdb: sdb1 sdb2

   • Other card, which has no partitions:

     Code Block
     $ dmesg | tail ... sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] 31116288 512-byte logical blocks: (15.9GB/14.8 GiB) sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Cache data unavailable sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through sdb: unknown partition table

3. Install U-Boot (prebuilt SPL and u-boot.img images) to the micro SD card. Note that you need to specify the whole device as the destination for the dd command (i.e. do not install the image to a partition):

   Code Block
   $ sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/sdX bs=1k seek=1 conv=notrunc; sync $ sudo dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1k seek=128 conv=notrunc; sync

4. Mount the first partition of the SD Card, and copy the splash-rt1050-series_24.bmp file to the splash.bmp file on the SD card:

   Code Block
   $ sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt $ cp splash-rt1050-series_24.bmp /mnt/splash.bmp $ sudo umount /mnt $ sync

5. Safely remove the micro SD Card from the Linux PC.

6. Insert the micro SD Card to the SD Card holder on the NXP EVK board. Configure the NXP i.MX RT10XX EVK EVKB board for booting from the micro SD Card. Set the boot selection jumpers SW7 on the i.MX RT1050 EVKB board or SW4 on the i.MX RT1050 EVKB board as follows:

   • SW7.1-4 or SW4.1-4 = 1010.;

7. Connect the microUSB cable to the UART USB dongle and to the development host to provide the serial console (Refer to Connecting Serial Console to the NXP i.MX RT10XX EVK Board ) and power the board from a 5V power supply:

   Code Block
   U-Boot SPL 2024.04 (Dec 19 2024 - 08:16:46 +0000) Trying to boot from MMC1 U-Boot 2024.04 (Dec 24 2024 - 06:30:18 +0000) DRAM: 32 MiB Core: 79 devices, 18 uclasses, devicetree: separate MMC: FSL_SDHC: 0 Loading Environment from MMC...

8. Validate the U-boot command monitor. For example:

   Code Block
   => help ? - alias for 'help' base - print or set address offset ... =>
