The bootloaders (BL2, BL3 and U-BOOT) and the Linux Kernel can be programmed on the QSPI Flash or on the eMMC.<br>
* [[RNX-RZG2UL-OSM_Programming_Images|Programming Images]]
The RoorFS can be programmed on the eMMC or on a SD card (J41 on the carrier board).

== Serial terminal connection ==
A serial terminal connection through USB to UART bridge is required.
On the carrier board, set the boot mode to "SCIF Download mode".

* Start a terminal app (for example minicom) and configure to use the second FTDI port.
* After power up, the CPU reports:

== Programming Bootloaders and Linux Kernel on the QSPI Flash ==
=== Download Flash Writer to RAM ===
In minicom, press Ctrl-A S and then select "ascii" upload protocol.<br>
Select the file tmp/deploy/images/rnx-rzg2ul-osm/Flash_Writer_SCIF_RZG2UL_SMARC_DDR4_1GB_1PCS.mot
After successfully downloading the binary, Flash Writer starts automatically and shows a message
like below on the terminal.

=== Programming Bootloaders ===
For the boot operation, two bootloader files need to be written to the target board:<br>
* tmp/deploy/images/rnx-rzg2ul-osm/bl2_bp-rnx-rzg2ul-osm.srec (BL2 bootloader + boot parameters)
* tmp/deploy/images/rnx-rzg2ul-osm/fip-rnx-rzg2ul-osm.srec (BL3 + U-BOOT)
 
“XLS2” command of Flash Writer is used to write bootloader binary files. This command receives binary data from the
serial port and writes the data to a specified address of the Flash ROM with information where the data should be
loaded on the address of the main memory.

Overview

The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration project that helps developers create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products, regardless of the hardware architecture.
This article show how to build Yocto Image for RNX-RZG2UL-OSM CPU module using:

Yocto Linux Kernel U-BOOT
Poky 5.10.184 2021.10
