You can create a bootable microSD card image and use it to boot the ConnectCore 8M Mini.

Generate the image for the microSD card

To build an image that can boot from the microSD card:

  1. Add the following to your project’s conf/local.conf file:

    conf/local.conf
    IMAGE_FSTYPES:append = " sdcard.gz"
    Note the required white space when appending a value to an array variable using the :append override syntax.

  2. Build your image recipe, for instance:

    $ source dey-setup-environment
$ bitbake dey-image-qt

This creates a compressed image file in your project’s deploy directory with the extension .sdcard.gz.

Refer to Boot from microSD card for instructions on programming the image on the microSD card and preparing your target to boot from it.
