Hello,

Thanks for this contribution!

+Step 1 - Download the Cortex-M4 pre-compiled binary:
+
+	wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/imx7ulp-m4-demo-2.4.0.bin
+
+Step 2: Extract the example files:
+
+	$ chmod a+x imx7ulp-m4-demo-2.4.0.bin
+	$  ./imx7ulp-m4-demo-2.4.0.bin
+
+Step 3: Copy the imx7ulp_m4_demo.img binary to the FAT partion of MicroSD card.

Shouldn't we instead create a Buildroot package that would download/extract/install this firmware image, and put it in the FAT partition ?

Thanks!

Fabio, do you have any comment about this ?

I agree with you that we should create a Buildroot package that handles the Cortex-M4 FreeRTOS binary.

I will work on it when I am back from vacation.

Thanks
