37Create a bootable SD card
38=========================
39
40To determine the device associated to the SD card have a look in the
41/proc/partitions file:
42
43  cat /proc/partitions
44
45Buildroot prepares a bootable "sdcard.img" image in the output/images/
46directory, ready to be dumped on a SD card. Launch the following
47command as root:
48
49  dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/<your-sd-device>
50
51*** WARNING! This will destroy all the card content. Use with care! ***

53For details about the medium image layout, see the definition in
54board/freescale/common/imx/genimage.cfg.template_imx8.

60[1] for guidance):
61- insert the SD card in the SD slot of the board;
