Quartz is a tiny module utilized Freescale VF6xx by Device Solutions.

The Vybrid VF6xx family is an implementation of the new modern Cortex-A5-based low-power ARM SoC boards. Vybrid devices are ideal for applications including simple HMI in appliances and industrial machines, secure control of infrastructure and manufacturing equipment, energy conversion applications such as motor drives and power inverters, ruggedized wired and wireless connectivity, and control of mobile battery-operated systems such as robots and industrial vehicles.

Supported device drivers:

  • Analog components control digital interface (ANADIG)
  • Clock Controller Module (CCM)
  • Display Control Unit (DCU4)
  • Direct Memory Access Multiplexer (DMAMUX)
  • Enhanced Direct Memory Access Controller (eDMA)
  • Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
  • General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
  • Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
  • Input/Output Multiplexer Controller (IOMUXC)
  • Miscellaneous System Control Module (MSCM)
  • NAND Flash Controller (NFC)
    • Warning: NAND framework considered experimental in FreeBSD.
  • Port control and interrupts (PORT)
  • Synchronous Audio Interface (SAI)
  • System Reset Controller (SRC)
  • Timing Controller (TCON)
  • Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
  • FFEC Ethernet Driver (FFEC)
  • MPCore timer (MCT)
  • Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC)

1. Under FreeBSD, checkout latest source

svnlite co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head ~/src

2. Compile FreeBSD

cd ~/src
make TARGET_ARCH=armv6 kernel-toolchain
make TARGET_ARCH=armv6 KERNCONF=QUARTZ buildkernel
make TARGET_ARCH=armv6 buildworld

3. Create USB image

truncate -s 1024M quartz.img
mdconfig -f quartz.img -u0
newfs /dev/md0
mount /dev/md0 /mnt
cd ~/src
make TARGET_ARCH=armv6 DESTDIR=/mnt installworld distribution
echo "/dev/da0 / ufs rw,noatime 1 1" > /mnt/etc/fstab
umount /mnt
mdconfig -d -u0

4. Write USB image (replace /dev/da0 with your USB stick device)

sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
dd if=quartz.img of=/dev/da0 bs=4096k 

5. Create SD card image (replace /dev/da4 with your SD device)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da4 bs=4096k
gpart create -s MBR da4
gpart add -b 8m -s 32m -t '\!14' da4
newfs_msdos /dev/da4s1
mount_msdosfs /dev/da4s1 /mnt
cd ~/src
make TARGET_ARCH=armv6 DESTDIR=/mnt installkernel
umount /mnt

1. Connect to serial console on speed 115200

cu -l /dev/ttyu0 -s 115200

2. Power on the board and boot

fatload mmc 0:1 0x80100000 kernel.bin
go 0x80100000
