Will element14 be providing a downloadable MicroSD card bootable image ?

From the User Manual

2.3

Setting Up the System

2.3.1

Insert MicroSD Card

Insert the supplied MicroSD card into the board’s MicroSD card socket J20.

Note: MicroSD Card is included if ready at the date your kit was shipped.

For the latest version of the BSP, please visit www.element14.com/iMX6

There currently does not appear to be a way to download the content of the MicroSD card from any of the links on the www.element14.com/iMX6 page mentioned in the manual.

So that's a 'No' then ?

Your http://www.timesys.com/register/element14-sabrelite link doesn't appear to be in any of the documents as far as I can see either.

Anyway, seems I'll skip this board. From the available documentation it appears that the timesys LinuxLink 'free' doesn't allow you to download gpl source, requires you to use their build servers, doesn't allow you to do basic things like configure the kernel, uses an out of date toolchain etc.

So it's not for me as all I need is the appropriate kernel source, or patches, to allow me to build a suitable kernel on my build system to my configuration.
