Chapter 3 Software Setup This chapter introduces the following setup on the device: (for advanced users only) • Make a recovery SD card • Upgrade firmware through the recovery SD card...
3.1 Make a Recovery SD Card Note: This is for advanced users who has IBASE standard image file only. Basically, ISR201 is preloaded with O.S (Android / Linux) into eMMC by default. Connect the TFT-LCD with ISR201 (or HDMI), and 12V power directly.

3. Copy the image to the directory mfgtools-2.3\Profiles\Linux\OS Firmware\files\isr201\. 4. Select the script of mfgtools sdcard recovery. 5. Start burning image to SD card. When the image buring finishes, the recovery SD card is ready. ISR201 User Manual...
2. Insert the recovery SD card and U disk to the board for upgrade. 3. Power up the board and the recovery program starts. 4. When the recovery finishes, power down the board, pull out the recovery SD card and U disk. ISR201 User Manual...
Chapter 4 BSP Source Guide This chapter is dedicated for advanced software engineers only to build BSP source. The topics covered in this chapter are as follows: • Preparation • Installing Toolchain • Building U-Boot • Building Kernel • Building RAMdisk Image (Optional) •...
4.1.5 Building RAMdisk Image (Optional) 1. Enter ISR201. cd /home/ISR201 2. Running the script below. ./build.sh ISR201 3. See the image in the "release" directory. ls release/ISR201-20170519-030011/ rootfs.tar.bz2 u-boot-imx6dlsabresd.imx zImage zImage-imx6dl- sabresd.dtb 4.1.6 Install Linux to SD Card 1. Refer to the section 3.1 Make a Recovery SD Card in chapter 3.
D. USB (flash disk) Test Insert the USB flash disk then assure it is in ISR201 device list. Note: This operation may damage the data stored in the USB flash disk. Before starting the test, make sure there is no critical data in the eMMC flash being used.
Appendix SD Card Test When ISR201 is booted from eMMC, SD card is “/dev/mmcblk1” and able to see by “ls /dev/mmcblk1*” command: /dev/mmcblk1 /dev/mmcblk1p2 /dev/mmcblk1p4 /dev/mmcblk1p5 /dev/mmcblk1p6 When booting from SD card, replace test pattern “/dev/mmcblk1” to “/dev/mmcblk0”. Note: This operation may damage the data stored the SD card. Before starting the test, make sure there is no critical data in the eMMC flash being used.
SATA (hard disk) Test Insert the hard disk and then assure it is in ISR201 device list. Note: This operation may damage the data stored in the hard disk. Before starting the test, make sure there is no critical data in the hard disk being used.
