This is a guide for installing Linux on a Technexion NXP IMX7 board. This is a board that was part of the Android Things Starter Kit (now discontinued).

There are some dead ends in this guide where I got to a point where I failed. I'm documenting this so that it can help anyone else who is trying the same thing.

Before starting, there are a few useful sources of information:
