### Building Boot Images
The boot image for flashing to SD cards can be built directly from the flake:
```bash
# Build boot image for UCM-iMX95
nix build github:NixOS/nixos-hardware#packages.aarch64-linux.ucm-imx95-boot
# Or from a local checkout
nix build .#packages.aarch64-linux.ucm-imx95-boot
```
The boot image will be available at `./result/image/flash.bin`.
**Note:** These packages target `aarch64-linux`. If you're on a different architecture (e.g., x86_64-linux), you'll need remote builders configured for aarch64-linux.
### Flashing to SD Card
Once built, you can flash the boot image to an SD card:
```bash
# Write boot image to SD card at 32KB offset (adjust /dev/sdX to your SD card device)
sudo dd if=./result/image/flash.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1k seek=32 conv=fsync
```
**Warning:** Double-check the device path to avoid overwriting the wrong disk!
### Notes
- The configuration, including device-tree, kernel, and bootloader components, is optimized for the UCM-iMX95 SoM and EVK.
- The generated NixOS image supports booting from SD card or eMMC, depending on the hardware configuration.

- The boot components (OEI in TCM/DDR, SM, ATF, U-Boot) follow the standard NXP release layout for i.MX95 platforms.

### 2.3 Building Boot Images
Boot images for flashing to SD cards can be built directly from the flake:
```bash
# Build boot image for i.MX8MP EVK
nix build github:NixOS/nixos-hardware#packages.aarch64-linux.imx8mp-boot
# Build boot image for i.MX8MQ EVK
nix build github:NixOS/nixos-hardware#packages.aarch64-linux.imx8mq-boot
# Build boot image for i.MX93 EVK
nix build github:NixOS/nixos-hardware#packages.aarch64-linux.imx93-boot
# Or from a local checkout
nix build .#packages.aarch64-linux.imx8mp-boot
```
The boot image will be available at `./result/image/flash.bin`.
**Note:** These packages target `aarch64-linux`. If you're on a different architecture (e.g., x86_64-linux), you'll need remote builders configured for aarch64-linux.
### 2.4 Flashing to SD Card
Once built, you can flash the boot image to an SD card:
```bash
# For i.MX8MP and i.MX93 (32KB offset):
sudo dd if=./result/image/flash.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1k seek=32 conv=fsync
# For i.MX8MQ (33KB offset):
sudo dd if=./result/image/flash.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1k seek=33 conv=fsync
```
**Note:** Different i.MX processors require different offsets. i.MX8MP and i.MX93 use 32KB (seek=32), while i.MX8MQ uses 33KB (seek=33).
**Warning:** Double-check the device path to avoid overwriting the wrong disk!
