* The microsd card must be content at latest 2 partitions.
* The first one must be primary partition with the boot flag mark and formated using FAT(16 or 32) file system.
''The processor when boot ONLY load and execute the MLO program and ignore all the rest it's the X-loader(MLO) the program responsible to load the next programs such kernel or uboot if you use this last one approach.''
{{Message/Information Message|title=TITLE|message= <span style="color: #000000;">Freescale has a different structure</span>}}
Therefore, we are going to '''setup a microSD card with these requirements''' and '''install a custom software distribution''' into it.

=='''<span class="mw-headline">Prepare a SD to boot</span>'''==
<div style="text-align: left;">{{Message/Information Message|title=TITLE|message= <span style="color: #000000;">We are using this version of Ubuntu .........</span>}}</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">We can use two differents methods in order to boot it. One is the '''GPARTED''' and the other is the '''sfdisk'''. Gparted is more visual than sfdisk but sfdisk is faster to do so.</div>
===<span id="Preparing_the_microSD_card" class="mw-headline">Preparing the microSD card</span>===
Open a terminal window and clear your dmesg using:
<pre>$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 count=1024
[sudo] password for jdoe:</pre>
===<span id="Install_GParted" class="mw-headline">Downloading GParted</span>===<span style="color: #ff0000;">In order to prepare a micro SD with your already generated u-boot you need to flash the u-boot.imx using the command dd.(?)<br /></span>
It is important to prepare your micro SD card first creating a partition that leave some free space for the u-boot.imx. It can be used GPARTED as it is shown in the image. This method is much more graphic than sfdisk method.
<pre>sudo apt-get install gparted</pre>
<span style="color: #000000;">Now we will see all When the steps for this partition with GPARTED after another brief explanation of sfdisk methodinstall procedure ends you can call the program from your system tools menu or directly using a terminal console.</span>

==<span id="GParted_and_Creation_of_Partitions" class="mw-headline">'''Make the partition of the SD'''<br /></span>==
Now we are going to see some steps with the two methods. First creating the partition and then how procedure with each processor.
===='''Defining Partitions'''====
Here we will see how make the partitions in the different methods

</div>
Check the default option it's create a msdos partition table.
After that you can '''Apply'''.

It is recommended to '''apply changes''' now or you might get an error later.

The Next step it's create the root file system partition.
After all apply all changes
=====SFDISK=====Then you only have to use dd command in order to copy the u-boot.imx to the SD card. <u>'''Please, be sure you have write correctly the following command because in if not, it can corrupt your computer.'''</u> <div class="code panel pdl conf-macro output-block" data-hasbody="true" data-macro-name="code"><div class="codeHeader panelHeader pdl"></div><div class="codeHeader panelHeader pdl">'''u-boot.imx copy'''</div><div id="highlighter_550267"> $ sudo dd if=//u-boot.imx of=/dev/ bs=512 seek=2<br>$ sync</div></div>For example <div class="code panel pdl conf-macro output-block" data-hasbody="true" data-macro-name="code"><div class="codeHeader panelHeader pdl">'''u-boot.imx copy'''</div><div id="highlighter_209438"> $ sudo dd if=/home/user/Project/u-boot/u-boot.imx of=/dev/sdd bs=512 seek=2<br>$ sync</div></div> ===='''<span id="Select_.22Boot_flag.22_for_the_boot_partition" class="mw-headline">Select "Boot flag" for the boot partition</span>'''====<span class="mw-headline"> </span> =====<span style="color: #000000;"><span class="mw-headline">GPARTED</span></span>=====
Now we must select the boot flag for the first partition for it we use the right mouse button over the boot partition and select "Manage Flags" option
</div>
Now we have the microsd prepared for copy the boot files
==U-Boot==
'''TexasGeneral processors<br />'''
After build or download the MLO and u-boot you should follow the next steps:
'''iMX6Freescale processors<br />'''
* Copy u-boot.imx using dd before primary partition in raw mode as

Notes: IGEPv5 must use Hard floating Rootfs
<br /> Now you should see inside your rootfs partition a similar structure like this.
