Run TinyCore on iMX6
« on: May 22, 2016, 05:07:23 PM »
Hi,

I hava a SOM board from Toradex, Colibri iMX6. I want to make TinyCore to run on this board.
I have tried to use an old version from GK802 dCore but it's not working.
What are the steps to running up TinyCore on others boards ?
Have anybody already ported TinyCore on others boards ?

Thank you for informations and suggestions,
Best regards,
imaad

Just saying doesn't work doesn't help to give answer. Please more specific.

I think that fist step is to run up the bootloader. So, how the Colibri iMX6 is different from GK802 I suppose that boot up sequence, some hardwares devices and routing peripheral are different.
For this reason I have replaced the u-boot.imx from GK802 with u-boot.imx for Colibri iMX6.
At this stage the board boot up correctly but it doesn't load the kernel and filesystem. I guess that I need to make same modification in the bootloader.

I don't know if I must rebuild the kernel but normally it must work without rebuild because the iMX6 is an ARM ARMv7 Cortex A9 architecture.

I will try to run up TinyCore on this board and put some more informations,videos and explications.
All others suggestions are welcome.
