# NXP - iMX6/iMX8

Current iMX6 images support the ARMv7-A dual-lite and quad versions (ARM Cortex-A9) of the following boards:

* Cubox-i
* Wandboard
* Udoo

Current iMX8 images are experimental and do not support a specific board.

Installation is done by writing the LibreELEC \*.img file to an SD card. The boards have internal hardware identifiers so there is no need to edit `extlinux.conf` on the card. Selection of the correct device dtb is handled internally within U-Boot.

**NOTE** - \*\*\*\* It is not possible to update from older LibreELEC or OpenELEC imx6.arm images to LE 11.0 as the boot configuration for LE 11.0 is different and older kernels do not support zstd compression. If you attempt an upgrade, the boot configuration of the old installation will be broken. You are advised to clean install LE 11.0 and manually restore sources and library DB files. Backups can be taken and restored, but as there is now a long time gap since LE 8.2.5 (and OE 8.0.x) it is best to start over with a clean system.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://wiki.libreelec.tv/hardware/nxp-imx6-im8.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
