Setting up the u-boot device tree variables for Engicam boards.

Power on the board and stop on the u-boot command line prompt.

To stop the automatic booting of the pre-installed kernel, you must send a character to the serial port by pressing a key from the serial console connected to the target (See the hardware manual for serial port connection).

Once the u-Boot is stopped, you can send the commands to set the right device tree for your board.

I.E. :

Suppose to have an openframe 7 inches with the microdev board connected.

The commands to send for devicetree configuration are:

setenv fdt_file microgea-mx6ull-microdev-yes7.dtb
saveenv
