Hello,
we will receive soon our new custom carrier board for the Apalis iMX6D 512MB board.
It is essentially a stripped down version of the Ixora carrier board, but only using Ethernet, CAN 1 and CAN2, 1 USB (host) and one debug RS-232.
All of our development (creating a new Image using yocto) was done on the Ixora V1.1A, and everything runs fine on it.
As soon as I will receive the customized carrier board, I want to start testing my Image and making sure everything will also work fine.
The question I have is about the best way to “adapt” out Image (now running on the Ixora) to the new custom carrier board:
-
Is it enough to customize the device tree by removing any unneeded devices (HDMI, …), then compile it to create a customized .dtb and specify the new .dtb inside the u-boot bootloader?
-
Or should I also remove some features from the kernel ?
-
Any other better way to do it ?
We don’t have any specific time requirements for loading the kernel (the kernel load time using the Ixora is perfectly fine).
If it is just enough to customize the device tree, and not changing the standard kernel, I would prefer this option. Provided the Kernel does not complain if it does not find the missing devices.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Nicola
