MFG tool build in linux

anilbhaskar — Fri, 14 Mar 2014 07:10:07 GMT

we are facing a problem in porting the linux using this MFG tool.

i just want to put linux image in my SD card then will plug that SD card in the Imax6 Dual processor.

in MFG tool user manual, they are showing how to put image in SD card.

http://www.freescale.com/files/training_pdf/WBNR_LA13_IMX6QPR_PDF.pdf?lang_cd=en

in this PDF from page 27-32 you will find out the steps.

we are following these steps.

step 1. cat /proc/partitions
step 2. dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=512 seek=2 skip=2 conv=fsync
step 3. dd if=uImage of=/dev/sdb bs=512 seek=2048 conv=fsync
step 4. fdisk /dev/sdb

a. u

b. d

c. n

d. p

e. 1

after this we dont know what to do.

we tried to enter 16384 but it says its out of range.

could you tell us what to do after this e step.

Please try skipping step 4.a

This FDISK version is already using sectors so by using the ‘u’ command it’s switching to cylinders.

Hi Gusaramula,

thanks for your reply.

yes you are right about skipping U.

i already tried this but still no success.

after doing all these steps when i look into the SD card there is only one folder Lost& Found.

could you help us, whats wrong going on.

or is there any alternative to port linux in imax6D board.

i am working on this board
