2.BOOTING FROM SDCARD
HOST :

Step 1 :- Flashing barebox.bin into SD-card 8 MB raw space

$ sudo dd if=<path of the barebox image> of=/dev/sd<a/b/c/d> bs=512 skip=2 seek=2

$ sync

Step 2 :- Copy the kernel image(zImage), oftree image(.dtb) into the boot partition of the
sdcard. Below are the command to copy into sd card

$ cp zImage /media/<username>/BOOT
$ cp oftree /media/<username>/BOOT

Step 3 :- And root file system tar file should be extract to the rootfs partition of the sdcard
using the below commands.

$ sudo tar -xvf <path of the rootfs tar file> -C <path of the sdcard rootfs partition>
$ sync

TARGET :
Now insert the sdcard into the board and make the switch positions for booting from sdcard.
And give the power supply to the board.
3.NAND FLASHING
HOST :
copy the required images (barebox.bin, oftree(.dtb), root.ubifs, zImage) into the boot partition
of the sdcard.

TARGET :
Then give the power supply to the board and stop at the barebox level and follow the below
lines

$ mount /dev/mmc0.0 /mnt/

$ cd /mnt/
$ barebox_update -t nand barebox.bin
$ erase /dev/nand0.barebox-environment.bb
$ ubiformat /dev/nand0.root
$ ubiattach /dev/nand0.root
$ ubimkvol -t static /dev/nand0.root.ubi kernel 8M
$ ubimkvol -t static /dev/nand0.root.ubi oftree 1M
$ ubimkvol -t dynamic /dev/nand0.root.ubi root 0
$ ubiupdatevol /dev/nand0.root.ubi.kernel zImage
$ ubiupdatevol /dev/nand0.root.ubi.oftree oftree
$ cp phytec-imx6ul-.rootfs.ubifs /dev/nand0.root.ubi.root
