[[File:Placeholder.png|thumb|center|500px|SDVX ]]
SDV04 Embedded Linux Kit provides all the necessary components required to set up the developing environment to:
* build the bootloader (U-Boot)
* build and run Linux operating system on [[SDV04 board | SDV04 board]]
* build and debug applications that will be executed on top of Yocto-based Linux distribution running on the target.
The main kit components are:
* hardware platform (SDV04)
* development host released in the form of [[Managed_Virtual_Machine_(MVM)|Managed Virtual Machine]], tailored for [[Managed_Virtual_Machine_(MVM)#Yocto-based_Linux_distribution|Yocto-based distribution]]
* technical documentation (hardware manuals, mechanical drawings, reference schematics, application notes etc.)
The documents related to the software issues help the user to quickly start configuring the bootloader and the operating system, by hiding most of the complexity of the underlying hardware. '''Reading of the [[Managed_Virtual_Machine_(MVM)|Managed Virtual Machine documentation]] is strongly recommended''', as it plays a '''major role''' in the SDVX organization.
For more details about SDV04 hardware characteristics, please refer to the [[Hardware_Manual_(SDV04)|SDV04 Lynx Hardware Manual]]. An account for the reserved area of [http://www.dave.eu '''DAVE Embedded Systems''' website] is required to access the kit contents.

=== XUELK microSD Layout ===
The microSD card provided with XUELK is partitioned as shown in the following image:
[[File:XUELK-uSD-partitioning.png|thumb|center|600px|microSD card partitioning]]
Most of storage space is occupied by two partitions:
*a <code>FAT32</code> partition (<code>mmcblk0p1</code>) containing:
**U-Boot <code>bootscript</code>
**Linux kernel and DTB binary images
**XUELK virtual machine image in OFV format ([[Managed_Virtual_Machine_(MVM)|MVM]] basic version)
**7-zip Windows executable file
*an <code>ext3</code> partition (<code>mmcblk0p2</code>) containing the root file system for the target.
<code>bootscript</code> and root file system are used to boot the target as described in [[#Target_setup_and_first_boot|this section]].
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]].
