Linux
By default, the bootloader loads the Linux operating system stored on the
SD card. The operating system image is built by Yocto.
Booting to the Linux desktop may take some time. To speed up the boot
process significantly, install the root filesystem onto the onboard eMMC
device.
Note
In order to maintain the integrity of the filesystem, it is recommended to
always shut down the system by issuing the command “poweroff” in the
console terminal.

Additional Information
The software provided on the included SD card is based on the Yocto
Project (www.yoctoproject.org) and i.MX 8QuadXPlus specific add-on
layers provided by NXP and congatec.
