* USB to Micro-USB cable
* Ethernet cable

''''' Recommended SW: '''''
* Serial line terminal
* [http://downloads.voipac.com/files/iMX6_Rex_Development_kit/module/software/uboot/binaries/u-boot-imx6-rexbasic-2.4.imx Appropriate binary file]

Stop autoboot in your serial line terminal. Copy and paste commands separately to download appropriate bootloader file from TFTP server:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.150
setenv serverip 192.168.1.75
mw.b 0x10800000 0xFF 0x80000
mw.b 0x10800000 0xFF 0x80000;tftp 0x10800000 u-boot-imx6-rexbasic-2.4.imx; sf probe
2:2;sf erase 0x0 0x80000;sf write 0x10800000 0x400 0x7fc00
</syntaxhighlight>
