Boot and flash Zephyr OS

  • As I can see, I flashed Zephyr to Carbon 96 board, I don't fully understand the process, I mean, I see .bin and .elf files but i don't see boot.img file, how do i make a bootable file ? what are the required files to flash ? Is flashing is the same to all the boards? (as I wrote before 2 weeks, I will bring Zephyr to DragonBoard 410c and trying it on carbon 96)

  • Can you please send me Zephyr architecture document? And some Zephyr document, I such as how to flash it to a new board, what are the required files to a new board ?

  • Is there any "boot.img" for zephyr?

  • Thanks, i saw some documentation files. I still don't understand how to make the output to "boot.img" file. After compile i got elf and bin (which I understood are relevant and a lot more file), Do I need to convert the elf file to img ?

    Can you help with architecture issues ? Zephyr is not support Cortex a-53 (dragonboard architecture) and I don't understand the whole process.

  • Our final purpose is to create a hybrid system on the dragonboard, meaning we are going to dedicate one core to the Zephyr OS to support specific tasks, and the rest of the cores will continue to run some supportable OS. As a first step we are trying to make Zephyr run on the dragonboard, therefore we are need to create an img file to flash over the sd card (after we made the changes needed to support ARMv8 architecture).
