It is worth remembering that the microSD card is [[Booting_options_(SBC_Lynx)|bootable]], because U-Boot image is stored at address 0x400. However, even if U-Boot is run from the microSD card, '''the environment is retrieved from NOR flash'''.
====How to create a bootable microSD card====
Please refer to this [[How_to_create_a_bootable_microSD_card_(XUELK)|this page]].
=== XUELK updates ===
Please note that this process '''implicitly updates git source code repositories of U-Boot and/or Linux kernel'''. Thus '''it is strongly recommended to create new local branches if you need to modify source code'''.
 
==== Updating git repositories ====
 
In XUELK, the following source trees are clones of '''DAVE Embedded Systems''' public git repositories:
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!| Component
!GIT Remote
!XUELK Installation Directory
|-
|Linux
|git@git.dave.eu:lynx/linux-2.6-imx.git
|/home/dvdk/lynx/linux
|-
|U-Boot
|git@git.dave.eu:lynx/u-boot-imx.git
|/home/dvdk/lynx/u-boot
|-
|Yocto BSP
|git@git.dave.eu:lynx/lynx-bsp.git
|/home/dvdk/lynx/lynx-bsp
|-
|}
 
This means that these components can be kept in sync and up to date with '''DAVE Embedded Systems''' repositories.

==== XUELK 1.1.3 ====
This chapter describes how to quickly start working with the XUELK kit. The following paragraphs will guide you through the setup and installation procedures.
===Kit registration===
{{ImportantMessage|text='''Customers are strongly recommended to register their kits'''. Registration grants access to reserved material such as source code and additional documentation.}} To register the kit, please send an email to [mailto:support-lynx@dave.eu support-lynx@lynx.eu], [[Development_Kits_Identification_Codes|providing the kit P/N and S/N]].
Please register your development kit by sending an email If you also wish to access git repositories containing source code, please follow the procedure described [[mailto:support-lynx@dave.eu support-lynx@dave.euAccessing_DAVE_Embedded_Systems_restricted_git_repositories|here]], providing the kit P/N and CODE.}}
===Target setup and first boot===
This section describes how to quick start SBC Lynx board delivered along with XUELK kit(see also the following image):
*connect a TTL/USB serial cable to J42 connector; J42 pinout is:
** 1: TX data
* change dir to the ext3 SD card partition
* delete previous files and extract new files from tarball archive as described [[AXEL_ULite_and_SBC_Lynx_Embedded_Linux_Kit_(XUELK)#Update_rfs_on_target|here]]
===Developing the software for the target===
Please refer to [[Developing the software for the target (XUELK)|this page]].
