how to program emmc in LS1028ARDB?

[Mewan]

Hi guys,

I'm still new to this and I need some help with deploying the images. The documents are a tad bit confusing for me but I've been following this document https://docs.nxp.com/bundle/LLDPUG_L6.1.36_2.1.0/page/topics/download_and_deploy_lsdk_images_with_fl... , specifically these steps:

To partition and format target storage device with specified number and size of partitions instead of using the default partitions

Usage:

flex-installer -i pf -p <partitions-list> -d <device>

For the list of supported values for <device>, see .

Example:

$ flex-installer -f firmware_ls1043ardb_sdboot.img -b boot_ls1043ardb_lts_6.1.tgz -r ls-image-
main-ls1043ardb.tar.gz -d /dev/sdX

And I am able to deploy the image on a target sd card, plug the card in the board and boot up from the sd card.
What i want to do next is deploy the image on the emmc, and the tutorial i tried for this program_lsdk_composite_firmware_image_001.html, with the steps:

=> load usb <device:part> $load_addr firmware_ls1028ardb_emmcboot.img
=> mmc dev 1; mmc write $load_addr 8 1fff8
=> qixis_reset emmc

The board now boots from emmc, and u-boot runs but nothing else is present, how do i deploy the entire image(kernel, rootfs, etc) to emmc, similarly to how it works with SD card?

Any help is appreciated.

nvm, found a post of another processor discussing of using flex-installer for the process. I copied flex-installer to the nor flash and deployed the image to the emmc and when i booted from emmc, it worked fine.
