Error when flashing 8Mplus using UUU

junya — Mon, 16 May 2022 07:54:27 GMT

I'm trying to flash a i.MX 8Mplus(8MP) my custom board with the prebuilt linux images using Win10.

I run the command ;

./uuu -V -b emmc ./imx-boot-imx8mpevk-sd.bin-flash_evk

and get the following message;

Do you have any idea what could cause this fail?

Hi @junya ,

On Linux host machine (Ubuntu), one check if the board is in Serial Download mode with lsusb and runs the command with sudo : sudo ./uuu -V -b emmc ./imx-boot-imx8mpevk-sd.bin-flash_evk

Not sure if we should open the console with administrator mode in Win10 ?

Regards,
Khang

Hi, @khang_letruong .

Thanks your reply.

>On Linux host machine (Ubuntu), one check if the board is in Serial Download mode with lsusb and runs the command with sudo : sudo ./uuu -V -b emmc ./imx-boot-imx8mpevk-sd.bin-flash_evk

yes, we have verified the USB connection using the ISUSAB command and run the command;

user@user-Lenovo-ideapad-100-15IBD:~/bin$ sudo ./uuu -V -b emmc ./imx-boot-imx8mpevk-sd.bin-flash_evk

>Not sure if we should open the console with administrator mode in Win10 ?

We open the console with administrator mode, but it's a Linux machine.

Hi,

As you are working with a custom board, it might be necessary to check the customized parts as in the following discussions :

Hi,

thanks your reply.

We try the content of the link below.

Please tell me one point.

For a custom board, do I need to change the uuu source code to match the board settings?

*modifications point from EVK to our custom board.

1. emmc

evk:SDINBDG4-32G-I1(sandisk)

custom:KLM4G1FETE-B041(samsung)

2.lpddr4

evk:MT53E1536M32D4DT-046 WT:A(micron)

custom:K4F8E3S4HD-MGCL(sumsung)

3.usb1(OTG)

evk:usb3.0, type-c

custom:usb2.0. micro b

4.debug serial(A53)

evk:uart2 (AF6,AH4)

custom:uart2(V29,V28)

Hi @junya ,

You would need to ensure that relevant drivers for custom parts (lpddr4, uart, usb which are crucial parts in u-Boot) are functional with traditional way of flashing into SD-card via dd'ing (i.e. those drivers are validated as functional with the custom image flashed into SD card) first.

hi, @khang_letruong

Since the part to be customized is the content of the image, I don't think it has anything to do with the flashing failure, but is it different?

Or is the boot loader written once to the SOC's internal memory?

Hi, @khang_letruong .

Thank you for your reply.

From the link you shared, I customized the settings such as USB.

As a result, the situation has improved, but it has stopped with problems related to emmc partition size.

How do I change the partition size of emmc?
