Hello,

Where I can find the images for the IMX6 platform?  
The link [SolidRun Images](https://images.solid-run.com/IMX6/Debian/sr-imx6-debian-bookworm-20230809-cli-sdhc.img.xz) is not valid.

Thanks

we are revamping our CI and the iMX6 images haven’t regenerated yet. What distro are you looking for, as the mainline support for the iMX6 platforms is pretty complete and most distros will work without needing custom patches.

Is it possible for you to expose the archives of the old images? I tried several distros and for none of them I was able to properly connect to the GPIOs.  
Basically I am stuck now with a board that I cannot use because the access to the GPIOs is not working and instead of focusing on my project I am spending my resources trying to make the board work.  
Thank you.

How are you trying to access the gpio’s? In newer kernels the sysfs interface to the gpio’s is deprecated and requires the use of libgpio.

The problem is the device-three and not the method of how the GPIO’s are accessed. For example using the armbian distro kernel 6.6.32 I can access a few GPIOs (73, 72, 71, 70) using the sysfs. The rest are simply not properly mapped.  
I didn’t expect a full support of the hummingboard from them as the distro is community supported. But I hoped that the vendor of the board to have some already build images that can offer access to all capabilities of the device.

which GPIO’s are you looking to access? By default we map most the GPIO’s to their alternate function.

I need to access 8 GPIOs. Looking at the [https://solidrun.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/developer/pages/271220753/HummingBoard+Pro+Base+GPIOs](https://solidrun.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/developer/pages/271220753/HummingBoard+Pro+Base+GPIOs) I tried to access 1, 73, 72, 71, 70, 194, 195, and 67.
