Quick Start Guide
BOOT PROCESS FOR ANDROID IMAGE
Boot Process
• Switch SW801 to OFF, OFF, ON, OFF (from 1-4 bit) to boot from the eMMC, as
shown in Figure 3. After the board images are loaded into the eMMC (The board
is shipped with Android image programmed in the eMMC. If you want to use Linux
image, see the Download BSP Images section on how to load the image) and the
boot switches are correctly configured, the system is ready to run.
• Power on the EVK board by sliding power switch SW701 to ON.
• During the boot process, the Android logo will appear on the HDMI display.
• The Android UI can be seen after the boot process is finished. You can start operating with
the mouse.

Additional Reference
Download BSP Images
The board images can be downloaded to the target board by using the manufacturing tool,
named MFGTool, which runs on a computer with the Windows® operating system. The
MFGTool zip file can be found at www.nxp.com/iMX8MQEVK(address may need to be
updated).
Perform the following steps to download the board images:
1.
Unzip the MFGTool file to a selected location. The directory is named
MFGTool-Dir in this example.
2.
Switch SW802 to OFF, ON (from 1-2 bit) to enter serial download mode
as shown in Figure 4.

Connect the Type-C end of a USB cable into the USB Type-C connector J901.
Connect the other end of the cable to the PC.
www.nxp.com
4.
Connect the plug of the 12V power supply to the DC power jack J902.
Then slide the power switch SW701 to ON. The i.MX 8MQuad will be
enumerated as a HID device on PC.

Bootup the board
Before power up, Switch SW802 to ON, OFF (from 1-2 bit) to enter internal boot mode as
shown in Figure 4.
The default output device is HDMI, resolution is 3840x2160p60, if user use a different
display resolution, then need change the resolution setting in the boot args according to
table 7, for example, set 1080p60,
setenv mmcargs 'setenv bootargs console=${console} root=${mmcroot} video=HDMI-A1:1920x1080-32@60'

Multimedia
i.MX provides audio optimized software codecs, parsers, hardware acceleration units, and
associated plugins. The i.MX provides GStreamer plugins to access the i.MX multimedia
libraries and hardware acceleration units.
There are three ways to play video and audio
1.
gplay-1.0
gplay-1.0 $filename --audio-sink='alsasink device="hw:X,0"'
The audio default output is audio jack, to route to HDMI need set the HDMI sound card,
X is the sound card number.
User can use aplay command to list all the sound card in system.
aplay -l

Quick Start Guide
MIPI-DSI
Except the HDMI, the display can be configured as MIPI-DSI. On EVK board,
it uses MINI-SAS interface J1501, connect MIPI-DSI to HDMI cable for display.
The user can use fsl-imx8mq-evk-dual-display.dtb to replace the original dtb
file to enable the MIPI-DSI.
MIPI-CSI
The default DTB will support the MIPI-CSI on J1502. To enable the camera
on J1503, there need fsl-imx8mq-evk-mipi-csi2.dtb to replace the original DTB
file.
The camera gstreamer commands as following:
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! kmssink
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! video/x-raw,width=720,height=480 ! kmssink
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! video/x-raw,width=1280,height=720 ! kmssink
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080 ! kmssink
