Mfgtool-sd

nicolasbugnariu — Sat, 17 Feb 2018 00:34:06 GMT

Some time ago, Mark Peterson asked about a Mfgtool-sd. An iMX6 device would boot from an SD card load the tool that would burn an os on the device eMMC.

Is this tool available?

Thank you

Thank you Igor.

I was referring to this exchange that happened few years ago. Back then Li had a working prototype and was estimating ~2 months to complete the work.

Regards,

Nicolas

Sounds great. Mfgtool-SD would be extremely useful not only for mfg but for end-user system updates - if necessary.
What is the anticipated timeframe?

ooh...I have to say thanks to you because you inspire me another way for end-user to update their devices.:)
Regarding to schedule, I hope I can finish it within 2 months. I have finished a prototype to show how the tool is running.

In the i.MX Manufacturing Tool Customization Guide there is a reference to Mfgtools-CD as a preliminary version for Mfgtools. It appears it does what I want to achieve. Booting the unit from SD and loading the OS binaries on the on-board eMMC.
