i.MX7ULP Linux Release B2019.02-pre
After some time of preparation, it is finally available. We have uploaded a new Linux version based on Buildroot for all boards and modules based on the i.MX7ULP CPU to our server, i.e. the fsimx7ulp architecture: PicoCoreMX7ULP. This release is running on all platforms of this architecture at the same time. So you can download the same binaries for U-Boot, Linux kernel and Buildroot root filesystem to any of the i.MX7ULP boards and it will run.
This is a maintenance pre release. The release consists of the following file:
fsimx7ulp-B2019.02-pre.tar.bz2
This is the main release itself containing all sources, the binary images, the documentation and the toolchain.
This tar archive is compressed with bzip2. So to see the files, you first have to unpack the archives
This will create a directory fsimx7ulp-B2019.02-pre that contains all the files of the pre release.
Please read the file doc/FSiMX7ULP_FirstSteps_eng.txt. It lists the meaning of all files and shows how to install and use everything.
