In this session we will walk-through the essential software components that make the Board Suppport Package (BSP) for a hardware platform. We will demonstrate our work by booting PICO-IMX8M evaluation Kit.

In order to boot a hardware platform and runs applications on Linux we need the following software components:

• uboot (uboot.bin)
• Linux kernel image (Image)
• Device tree blob (dtb)
• Kernel Modules
• rootfs image

The virtual machine provided by NXP should have all the software already downloaded including all the prerequisites. In this lab we will use a prebuild uboot and rootfs image.
