== Overview ==
For a complete Linux System, the CPU Module {{#var:HARDWARE_NAME}} requires the following images:
* Boot Loader stage 2 (BL2) Trusted Boot Firmware with boot parameters block
* Boot Loader stage 3-1 (BL3-1) EL3 Runtime Firmware
* U-BOOT
* Linux Kernel with Device Tree Blob
* RootFS - root file system

The bootloaders (BL2, BL3 and U-BOOT) and the Linux Kernel can be programmed on the QSPI Flash or on the eMMC. 
The RoorFS can be programmed on the eMMC or on a SD card (J14 on the carrier board).

After successful YOCTO building, all these images are available in tmp/deploy/images/rnx-rzv2n-smarc:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Image
! Description
|-
| bl2_bp_spi-rnx-rzv2n-smarc.bin bl2_bp_spi-rnx-rzv2n-smarc.srec

| Root File System
|-
| core-image-weston-rnx-rzv2n-smarc.rootfs.wic.gz
| Partitioned Image containing everything
|}

Alternatively, for development purpose, the images can be built standalone: 
* [[RNX-RZV2N-SMARC_ARM_Trusted_Firmware]]
* [[RNX-RZV2N-SMARC_U-Boot]]
* [[RNX-RZV2N-SMARC_Linux]]

The images can be programmed using the [{{#var:URL_PEEDI}} PEEDI JTAG Flash Programmer].

== Setting Boot mode ==
On the carrier board, set the boot mode to "SCIF Download mode".

== Programming BL2, BL31 and U-BOOT ==

=== Programming QSPI Flash using PEEDI JTAG Flash Programmer ===
PEEDI should be configured to use the '''rzv2n.cfg''' configuration file.

== Write Linux Kernel and RootFS to a uSD card ==
The simplest way to write Linux Kernel and RootFS to a SD card is using the bmaptool: 
$ sudo bmaptool copy tmp/deploy/images/rnx-rzg2ul-osm/core-image-bsp-rnx-rzg2ul-osm.wic.gz /dev/sdX

== Boot log ==
* Select QSPI Boot mode and reset the board:
