MFG tool for IMX6ul

niranjan_sandan — Thu, 11 Oct 2018 05:59:41 GMT

I am trying to use MFG tool to burn the images into the IMX6UL processor with SD Card as the storage device.

I have changed in cfg file and also placed dtb,zimage,rootfs_nogpu.tar.bz2 and u-boot-imx6ul14x14ddr3arm2_sd according to the ucl2.xml file.

uc2 file:

<LIST name="SDCard" desc="Choose SD Card as media">
<CMD state="BootStrap" type="boot" body="BootStrap" file ="firmware/u-boot-imx6ul%6uluboot%_sd.imx" ifdev="MX6UL">Loading U-boot</CMD>

CFG file :

Can anyone help in this

Hi Niranjan

there is no need to change cfg file, it is necessary to click on *.vbs file

(like mfgtool2-yocto-mx-evk-sdcard-sd1.vbs) and tool will run with necessary

parameters. Tool usage is described on presentation below

AMF-ACC-T1652

If it hangs with new board, then one can follow steps described on

How to build MFG Firmware for i.MX6Q
