+Technologic Systems TS-4900
+===========================
+
+This document explains how to set up a basic Buildroot system for the
+Technologic Systems TS-4900 System on Module.
+
+The TS-4900 is a TS-SOCKET macrocontroller board based on the
+Freescale i.MX6 Single or Quad Core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU clocked at
+1GHz. The TS-4900 features Gigabit Ethernet, SATA II Port, PCI Express
+Bus, high speed USB host and device (OTG), and microSD card.
+More details on the board here:
+   http://wiki.embeddedarm.com/wiki/TS-4900
+
+The TS-4900 is not currently supported by mainline Linux, so a
+Technologic Systems Linux is used based on Linux 4.1.
+The default U-boot configuration flashed scans the SD card to find the
+0x83 partition type, corresponding to the rootfs. Then it will load
+both uImage and dts from the /boot directory.
+To build the default configuration you only have to:
+
+   $ make ts4900_defconfig
+   $ make
+
+The output looks like:
+output/images/
+├── imx6q-ts4900.dtb
+├── rootfs.ext2
+├── rootfs.tar
+├── sdcard.img
+└── uImage
+
+Since both the uImage and the dts are contained in the /boot
+directory, the provided post-image script generates an image file
+containing only one partition for the rootfs:
+
+   $ fdisk output/images/sdcard.img
+                      Device Boot Start    End Blocks Id  System
+output/images/sdcard.img1               1      524288      262144   83  Linux
+
+This image can be directly written to an SD card.
+
+   $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
+
+In order to test the image on TS-4900 board, a TS baseboard, such as
+the TS-9xxx series, is needed to provide power, console header, RJ45
+connector etc.
+
+The bootloader comes pre-flashed on the board on an SPI flash. Since
+updating the bootloader is risky and not trivial, it is not included
+in the Buildroot defconfig. Refer to
+http://wiki.embeddedarm.com/wiki/TS-4900#U-Boot for details on which
+U-Boot config to use and how to flash it.
