Note1: If the board is 2GB LPDDR4, use If the board is 4GB LPDDR4, use If the board is 6GB LPDDR4, use Note 2: "ser3" stands for console debug port in SMARC definition. In this example, we uses SER3 as debug port. If user uses SER0 as your debug port, make change to "ser0" instead. Same as SER1 and SER2. Note 3: To change the debug port, in addition to u-boot defconfig and uEnv.txt files, you also need to modify plat/imx/imx8m/imx8mp/platform.mk in the imx-atf. Find "IMX_BOOT_UART_BASE ?= 0x30890000" and change to the correct address that defined in uEnv.txt file. Note 4: The SMARC-iMX8MP module always boot up from the on-module eMMC flash. The factory default will be flash.bin pre-installed with SER3 as console output. In some cases when the eMMC flash is empty or needs to be upgraded. Users can shunt crossed the TEST# to ground. In this way, the SMARC-iMX8MP module will boot up to carrier SD card, if TEST# pin is shunt crossed. The flash.bin image are the same, the difference is how you flash flash.bin. This will be explained in the "Setup SD card" section. |

All available DTB files are listed in the table below.
DTB File Name | Description |
---|---|
imx8mp-smarc.dtb | Device tree blob for no display configuration. |
imx8mp-smarc-hdmi.dtb | Device tree blob for HDMI display configuration. |
imx8mp-smarc-lvds.dtb | Device tree blob for LVDS display configuration. |

Setting up eMMC usually is the last step at development stage after the development work is done at your SD card or NFS environments. From software point of view, eMMC is nothing but a non-removable SD card on board. For SMARC-iMX8MP, the SD card is always emulated as /dev/mmcblk1 and on-module eMMC is always emulated as /dev/mmcblk2. Setting up eMMC now is nothing but changing the device descriptor.
This section gives a step-by-step procedure to setup eMMC flash. Users can write a shell script your own at production to simplify the steps.

It is safe to remove SD card now.
Copy Binaries to eMMC from SD card:
Insert this SD card into your SMARC-iMX8M device iMX8MP device and boot into SD card.
Now it will be almost the same as you did when setup your SD card, but the eMMC device descriptor is /dev/mmcblk2 now.
