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

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 [{XREF_yocto-boot-sdcard_t}] for instructions on programming the image on the microSD card and preparing your target to boot from it.
