How to use mfgtool 2 to boot iMX7dsabresd from NAND

How to use mfgtool 2 to boot iMX7dsabresd from NAND

[Bejar-Colonia, Carlos]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1834 bytes --]

Dear NXP,

I have an iMX7dsabresd board and would like to boot it from NAND using MfgTool V2.
I have tried to use mfgtool2-yocto-mx-sabresd-nand.vbs script provided in MfgTool V2, but failed.
I replaced the "sabreauto" with "sabresd" in the same script and I also rebuild Mfg Tools firmware (fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git) and updated fsl-image-mfgtool-initramfs-imx7dsabresd.cpio.gz.u-boot in the MfgTool. But still fails

These are the last lines from the console output:

UTP: received command '$ mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug'
UTP: executing "mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug"
UTP: sending Success to kernel for command $ mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug.
utp_poll: pass returned.
UTP: received command '$ flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 0'
UTP: executing "flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 0"
flash_erase: error!: /dev/mtd0
             error 2 (No such file or directory)
UTP: sending Non-success to kernel for command $ flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 0.
utp_poll: exit with status 65280

Is mfgtool2-yocto-mx-sabresd-nand.vbs the right file to flash NAND for iMX7dsabresd board or I need to create my own script?
I checked the iMX Yocto Project Guide, iMX Linux User Guide, MfgTool2 documentation, but was not able to figure out. Could you provide the steps to flash NAND?

Best Regards,
Carlos

Have you tried your NAND already? I mean, have you flashed it
manually? Only to make sure all the support is in place?

I would prefer to use the scripts with the board name included.
Anyway, can you, please, share the exact version of mfgtools you are
using only to make sure we're in the same page?

As far as I know, only the MfgTool documentation can help on this.

Do you really need to use mfgtool?

Re: How to use mfgtool 2 to boot iMX7dsabresd from NAND

[Bejar-Colonia, Carlos]

Hi Daiane,

I haven't flashed the NAND manually yet. I am new to Yocto Project-based image build and having some difficulties to build the image (NAND boot, UBIFS file system), I thought I would try first loading the images that comes in MfgTool.

I am using L4.1.15_1.2.0_ga-mfg-tools.tar.gz. and we would like to use it for flashing new boards

Thanks,
Carlos

First make sure the actual hardware is there, as these boards come without the nand populated.

I don't have NAND to try on my imx7D board, so I have no idea if
mfgtools works out of box or not.

However, I would first start booting from sdcard, then you manually
copy the image from NAND and boot from there

Only to make sure your hardware is OK
