CHAPTER

TWO

GETTING STARTED

The phyBOARD-Segin i.MX 93 and phyBOARD-Nash i.MX 93 Kit is shipped with a pre-ashed

SD card. It contains the phytec-qt6demo-image and can be used directly as a boot source. The eMMC is

programmed with only a U-Boot by default. You can get all sources from the PHYTEC download server.

This chapter explains how to ash a BSP image to SD card and how to start the board.

There are several ways to ash an image to SD card or even eMMC. Most notably using simple, sequential

writing with the Linux command line tool dd. An alternative way is to use PHYTEC’s system initialization

program called partup, which makes it especially easy to format more complex systems. You can get prebuilt

Linux binaries of partup from its release page. Also read partup’s README for installation instructions.

2.1 Get the Image

The image contains all necessary les and makes sure partitions and any raw data are correctly written.

Both the partup package and the WIC image, which can be ashed using dd, can be downloaded from the

PHYTEC download server.

Get either the partup package or the WIC image from the download server:

host:~$ wget https://download.phytec.de/Software/Linux/BSP-Yocto-i.MX93/BSP-Yocto-NXP-i.MX93-

,→PD24.1.1/images/ampliphy-vendor-wayland/phyboard-segin-imx93-2/phytec-qt6demo-image-phyboard-

,→segin-imx93-2.partup

host:~$ wget https://download.phytec.de/Software/Linux/BSP-Yocto-i.MX93/BSP-Yocto-NXP-i.MX93-

,→PD24.1.1/images/ampliphy-vendor-wayland/phyboard-segin-imx93-2/phytec-qt6demo-image-phyboard-

,→segin-imx93-2.wic.xz

Note

For eMMC, more complex partitioning schemes or even just large images, we recommend using the partup

package, as it is faster in writing than dd and allows for a more exible conguration of the target ash

device.

2.2 Write the Image to SD Card

Warning

To create your bootable SD card, you must have root privileges on your Linux host PC. Be very careful

when specifying the destination device! All les on the selected device will be erased immediately without

any further query!
