3.1 Introduction
This chapter provides instructions on booting up the boards with a complete SD card or QSPI image. It also describes the process
for deploying the U-Boot, Linux kernel, and root file system on the board. The instructions start with generic host and target board
pre-requisites. These are followed by the board-specifc configurations listed below:
• Switch settings
• U-Boot environment variables
• Device microcodes
• Reset configuration word (RCW)
• Flash bank usage
This chapter is meant for those who want to perform more sub-system debugs, such as U-Boot, kernel, and so
on. At the beginning, the board should be booted up and run in U-Boot command environment.
NOTE
3.2 LS1021A-TSN
The LS1021A Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) reference design is a platform that allows developers to design solutions with
the new IEEE Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standard. The board includes the QorIQ Layerscape LS1021A industrial
applications processor and the SJA1105T TSN switch. The LS1021A-TSN is supported by an industrial Linux SDK with Xenomai
real time Linux, which also provides utilities for configuring TSN on the SJA1105T switch.
With virtualization support, trust architecture, secure platform, Gigabit Ethernet, SATA interface, and an Arduino Shield connector
for multiple wireless modules, the LS1021A-TSN platform readily supports industrial IoT requirements.
3.2.1 Switch settings
The following table lists and describes the switch configuration for LS1021ATSN board.
OpenIL supports only the SD card boot for LS1021ATSN platform.
