Copy files to SD Card

I would recommend to make use of it. Prepare a SD-card with two partition, the first being a FAT partition and containing the kernel (uImage) and the device tree (imx6dl-colibri-eval-v3.dtb). The second is the root file system, use a ext3 file system and copy the content of your rootfs (using something like this:

sudo cp -Ppr /.../rootfs/* /AAA

sudo cp /.../arch/arm/uboot/uImage /BBB/uImage

sudo cp /.../arch/arm/uboot/dts/imx6q-apalis-ixora.dtb /BBB/imx6q-apalis-ixora.dtb
