mfgtoolcli fails under linux

matkattanek — Mon, 13 Aug 2018 22:47:10 GMT

I am having the same issue when using mfgtoolcli under Linux. (all works well when running it with Windows)

My hardware is an NXP Imx6ull evk development board.

The package I am using is L4.9.11_1.0.0-ga_mfg-tools.

# ./linux-runvbs.sh mfgtool2-yocto-mx-evk-sdcard-sd1.vbs

Here is the ucl2.xml I modified, and I only included my target processor:

Now the error message changes and complains about the MX6ULL being invalid:

Is anybody successfully using mfgtoolcli with Linux?

I see some complains about it on this forum but no solution.

mfgtoolcli is clearly upset about something. Would be great to get it running.

Just downloaded the latest L4.9.88_2.0.0_mfg-tool packages. Too bad it still shows the same problem:

this is some kinda bug in mfgtools on linux. i'm using sabresd board imxq and trying to flash it. this problem becouse of dev name is longer 6 chars. first start (./mfgtool2-yocto-mx-sabresd-sdcard-sd4.vbs.sh) give me error

Error: Invalid device name: MX6SLL

delete "<STATE name="BootStrap" dev="MX6SLL" vid="1FC9" pid="0128"/>" from ucl2.xml and get error

Error: Invalid device name: MX6ULL

delete <STATE name="BootStrap" dev="MX6ULL" vid="15A2" pid="0080"/> from ucl2.xml and get error

Error: Invalid device name: MX7ULP

delete <STATE name="BootStrap" dev="MX7ULP" vid="1FC9" pid="0126"/> from ucl2.xml and get error

Boot command-- file ./Profiles/Linux/OS Firmware/firmware/u-boot-imx6q%plus%sabresd_sd.imx failed to open.errcode is 2

this error is for my board file and it is understandeble and can be fixed

Flashing the MYD-Y6ULX to it's default state using the NXP USB boot 
loader built into the MX6ULL ROM with mfgtoolcli on Fedora 31 Linux
===================================================================

Set-up
======

Stuff to install on Fedora 31
----------------
sudo dnf install libusb
sudo dnf install libusb-devel
sudo dnf install strace


Stuff to download
-----------------
This example uses MYD-Y6ULX-20190329-m44.iso  which is large and contains MYD-Y6ULX-mfgtools-20180810.zip


if you need libusb you can compile form source and install. https://github.com/libusb/libusb.git



mkdir flash
cd flash
cp /your path to download zip .
tar -xvf MYD-Y6ULX-mfgtools-20180810.zip
cd MYD-Y6ULX-mfgtools-20180810

We are now in /flash/MYD-Y6ULX-mfgtools-20180810 



The mfgtoolcli is not good, so we have to edit the file ucl2.xml The problem is it can't deal with us 
changing the location or filename in linux! The other problem is that my device MX6ULL is
too long/invalid for the mfgtoolcli so we have to manipulate the default ucl2.xml file.
So if your device is not a MX6ULL just remove it from the device list in the ucl2.xml.
If you don't you will get an error 24. If you are using a MX6ULL just effectively
rename MX6ULL to MX6UL and remove the original MX6UL from the device list. 


These sed lines will do the job is you have a MX6ULL which for a MYC-Y6ULX you will have. 
Only run once after unzipping

sed 's/"MX6UL"/"ZX6UL"/g' ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl2.xml  > ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl3.xml
sed '/STATE name="BootStrap" dev="ZX6UL" vid="15A2" pid="007D"/d' ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl3.xml > ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl4.xml
sed 's/"MX6ULL"/"MX6UL"/g' ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl4.xml  > ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl5.xml
mv ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl2.xml ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl2.xml.bak
cp ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl5.xml ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl2.xml


If are not running a MYC-Y6ULX/MX6ULL you can just run this line which deletes a line from the device list.
sed '/STATE name="BootStrap" dev="MX6ULL" vid="15A2" pid="0080"/d' ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl2.xml > ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl5.xml
mv ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl2.xml ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl2.xml.bak
cp ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl5.xml ./Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl2.xml


Reset the PCB to the default firmware but using the nxp boot loader built in to the Read Only Memory in the imx6ull

01) you can create the example line below by executing linux-cvbs.sh this will make the .vbs files into sh scripts you can get a simular line below in one of these scripts
02) switch off power to board
03) remove sd card from dev board if it has one
04) remove micro usb cable from development board
05) put the hardware into USB recovery mode. For the MYC-Y6ULX  on switch (SW1) change third switch to OFF and four switch to ON   (this is boot to micro USB)
06) run this line below as root as you need permission to access the Freescale USB device
07) for the myir default firmware for the MYC-Y6ULX execute the line below:-

example:


sudo ./mfgtoolcli  -l "NAND Flash"  -s board=bert -s lite=l -s 6uluboot=14x14 -s nand=nand -s 6uldtb=14x14 -s ddrsize=256 -s nanddtb=gpmi-weim -s part_uboot=0 
     -s part_kernel=2 -s part_dtb=3 -s part_rootfs=4 -s rootfs=core-image-base-myd-y6ull14x14.rootfs.tar.bz2


This should then be shown:-
    Your Options:
    board: bert
    lite: l
    6uluboot: 14x14
    nand: nand
    6uldtb: 14x14
    ddrsize: 256
    nanddtb: gpmi-weim
    part_uboot: 0
    part_kernel: 2
    part_dtb: 3
    part_rootfs: 4
    rootfs: core-image-base-myd-y6ull14x14.rootfs.tar.bz2
    Ready to flash.

07) power on board
09) plug in micro usb cable

the programming will commence and then finish with
     1       100% [=====================================================================================================>]       

10) press control C to exit program
11) power off board
12) remove micro usb 
13) put the PCB into nand flash boot mode. For the MYC-Y6ULX change dip switch 3 to ON and dip switch 4 to off
14) connect ttl serial to header to JP1, connect at 115200 baud
15) power on board and see the boot lines, you will be able to login with "root"

with the default myir MYC-Y6ULX firmware you will get this boot line

Trouble Shooting
================
Look at MfgToolLibLog.txt
Also run with strace like this:-
sudo strace -s9999 -o ./trace.txt ./mfgtoolcli  -l "NAND Flash"  -s board=bert -s lite=l -s 6uluboot=14x14 -s nand=nand -s 6uldtb=14x14 -s ddrsize=256 -s nanddtb=gpmi-weim 
   -s part_uboot=0 -s part_kernel=2 -s part_dtb=3 -s part_rootfs=4 -s rootfs=core-image-base-myd-y6ull14x14.rootfs.tar.bz2
then look at trace.txt
