Programming i.MX6 processor in the Serial Downloader mode

Hi All ! Tell me please, what program on the PC (Windows 7 OS) needs to be used for i.MX6 Solo processor programming using the Serial Downloader mode (USB OTG)?

I can't find such information in documentation on the processor.

Thanks!

You can try the USB loader :

"AdeneoEmbedded - Whitepaper on USB loader for i.MX6 platforms"

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-95604

"i.MX USB Loader"

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-94117

The following thread contains a stand-alone led example for i.MX6. Hope it helps.

Юрий, спасибо за ответ.

Правильно ли я понял, что какого-то "официального" софта для прошивки процессора через USB от Freescale нет, а есть нечто под Linux, что необходимо самому транслировать и компоновать?

Yury, thanks for the response.

Whether correctly I understood, what any "official" software for a processor firmware through USB from Freescale isn't present, and there is something under Linux what it is necessary most to compile?

Hi Paul,

Under Windows, the canonical tool is the Freescale Manufacturing tool, but if you just want to upload a binary, the "sb_loader.exe" tool is very useful.

We have a short description on-line here:

The other page describing imx_usb that Yuri didn't mention is our Linux "unbricking" page:

Thanks to all! Now processor programming through usb became more clear to me.
