Hi,
I just got a mini ITX Board for just 20 bucks, with PCIe x1 Slot, an M.2 Slot and a miniPCIe Slot - okay, only 1 Gig of Ram and only dualcore, but hey...
Advantech Freescale RSB-6410 NXP ARM® Cortex®-A9 i.MX6 Dual/Quad Mini-ITX Motherboard
Manufacturer Dropbox Images
Wiki Page...
I thought, how hard can it be to bootstream armbian/debian on this device, but despite chroot'ing into debian I did not really succseed and stuck in a really (!) crappy Yocto Linux environment without any packet manager and crappiest QT Interface you can think of...
In the Dropbox folder of the manufacturer there are a couple of sd card images, but everything I try does not boot, or boots into a "non screen" Environment (core-image-full-cmdline-imx6qrsb6410a2-20180809071407.rootfs.sdcard - seems that there is only console via Serial) or a slightly newer kerne (4.15) again in combination with a terrible, tool-less Yocto QT GUI (fsl-image-qt5-imx6qrsb6410a2-20180809063135.rootfs.sdcard) - the other files don't boot at all...
Nevertheless, armbian/debian has to be installed... Since this Board is not supported out of the box yet, could someone tell me how to adapt the already released i.MX6 builds to this board?
I got the whole environment saved and especially the dtb file for this board is also saved.
Would be nice if someone could help me roughly which steps are mandatory for adding this board to the build environmet. I am not new to linux, but I am new to adding hardware-platforms to anything :-)
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
P.S.: Anyone who has asked himlself why the InFlight Entertainment in many planes is slow, crappy and freezes suddenly should take a look at yocto with qt5.... the demos delivered with the yocto thingie reminds me of the QNX 3,5" Demo Disk of the late 1990ies with a RTOS and a Webbrowser on it - but, the QNX Demo Disk was faster, and better in any way :-)
