Issue flashing prebuilt android image

pwcel — Mon, 24 May 2021 15:51:56 GMT

Following the Jan 2021 release of the 'Android_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf' but can't flash pre-built android image.

Ubuntu 18.04
uuu version: tried 1.3.124 and 1.4.72, got same error for both
added udev rules
lsusb reports that device is found "Bus 001 Device 010: ID 1fc9:0129 NXP Semiconductors"
the file the script is looking to access "/tmp/u-boot-imx8qm-mek-uuu.imx" doesn't exist

Are there any commands I can use to directly flash without use of script?

>sudo ./uuu_imx_android_flash.sh -f imx8qm -e
This script is validated with uuu 1.4.72 version, it is recommended to align with this version.
dtbo is supported
dual slot is supported
dynamic parttition is supported
vendor_boot parttition is supported

Thanks for the reference Igor.

Do you know where I can download ' imx-sdcard-partition.sh'?

Seems I can download Linux pre-built image, but not Android for some reason.

Issue was that I was trying to download the wrong software. iMX 8 Quad 8M != iMX 8 QuadMax

Script is in the iMX8QM image package
