Move from Mfgtool to Universal Update Utility

Martin5 — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 17:52:01 GMT

I am using Mfgtool 1.6.2.055 byt need a way to control software download from the command line. I understand that uuu can do this. I am not an expert in software and need to first understand how difficult this is. Is there for example a way to translate commands in ucl.xml to commands for uuu?

Regards

Martin

Hello,

Adding to the comment of Biyong, you may refer to the UUU documentation for latest release located here:
https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools/releases/tag/uuu_1.4.72

Migration from mfgtool ucl2.xml chapter would also be of help.

Best regards,
Aldo.

Thanks for all support! I have tried the MfgTool2 but get message "ModuleID[2] LevelID[1]: Parse ucl script failed, error code: 21". I have changed name of xml file in \Profiles\MX28 Hq Update\OS Firmware to ucl2.xml.

I tried to changed profile in cfg file to MX28 (se below) but then I got message "Initialize the library failed, error code 29". Maybe I need to change platform an LIST as well?

[profiles]
chip = MX28 Linux Update

[platform]
board = SabreSD

[LIST]
name = Sabre-SD

Can it be the MfgTool2 does not support iMX28? I have heard that uuu as problem with iMX28.

Thank again for you support!

Hello,

For UUU some changes are need in uboot and/or kernel depending on the version you're planning to use.

With regards to this it may be helpful to take a look here:
https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools/issues/85

Regarding MFGTool2, please note that in general MFGTool2 was developed for i.MX6. MFGTool2 expects to have a file named ucl2, unfortunately this file is compatible only with i.MX 6 family.

Best regards,
Aldo.
