make -j4 zImage imx6q-openrex.dtb
cp arch/arm/boot/zImage /tftp/imx6/zImage-imx6q-openrex

### SOLO
TODO
# Update OpenRex SD card with Linux
Go to OpenRex board, interrupt uBoot booting process (press any key). Then write following commands:
run update_kernel
run update_fdt
Then press "RESET" button and wait until it boots up.
Note: if you would like to test the kernel without saving it to SD card, go to uBoot and use following commands:
tftp 0x12000000 imx6/zImage-imx6q-openrex; tftp 0x18000000 imx6/imx6q-openrex.dtb;bootz 0x12000000 - 0x18000000
