   4 Required software on the host PC:
   5
   6 - imx_usb_loader: https://github.com/boundarydevices/imx_usb_loader

   8 Build U-Boot for pico:
   9
  10 $ make mrproper
  11 $ make pico-imx7d_defconfig
  12 $ make
  13
  14 This generates the U-Boot binary called u-boot.imx.
  15
  16 Put pico board in USB download mode (refer to the PICO-iMX7D Quick Start Guide

  19 Connect a USB to serial adapter between the host PC and pico.

  21 Connect a USB cable between the OTG pico port and the host PC.
  22
  23 Open a terminal program such as minicom.
  24
  25 Copy u-boot.imx to the imx_usb_loader folder.
  26
  27 Load u-boot.imx via USB:
  28
  29 $ sudo ./imx_usb u-boot.imx
  30
  31 Then U-Boot starts and its messages appear in the console program.
  32
  33 Use the default environment variables:
  34
  35 => env default -f -a
  36 => saveenv
  37
  38 Run the UMS command:
  39 => ums 0 mmc 0
  40
  41 Transfer u-boot.imx to be flashed into the eMMC:
  42
  43 $ sudo dd if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=1; sync
  44
  45 Remove power from the pico board.
  46
