The su binary is in the out directory :out/target/product/var_som_mx6q/obj/EXECUTABLES/su_intermediates/LINKED</P><P>Copy the su executable to system/xbin and make the build again. The new system.img will have the su inside, thus you can do whatever you need on your board.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 01 Jan 2014 22:08:50 GMT https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/How-do-I-root-a-Variscite-MX6-SOM/m-p/272440#M29616 edelm 2014-01-01T22:08:50Z Re: How do I root a Variscite MX6 SOM https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/How-do-I-root-a-Variscite-MX6-SOM/m-p/272441#M29617 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,I am working with IMX6 now.Could you tell me why I can not use thirdparty tools to root the devices.Thank you!</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 17 Mar 2015 11:30:03 GMT https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/How-do-I-root-a-Variscite-MX6-SOM/m-p/272441#M29617 小波薛 2015-03-17T11:30:03Z
