Development Kit¶

Pre-Built SD Card Images¶

The following is a link to pre-built binaries for the development SD card image for the SOM variants. This will work with the FPGA or non-FPGA variants. It includes the preloader, uboot, and root filesystem.

Note: Image requires a 16GB+ sd card.

tisdk-rootfs-image

Recommend using balenaEtcher to flash the image.
