Unable to write NXP image to iMX 8M nano EVK via UUU

Trying to write the imx 8 nano EVK Linux image that I download from NXP to my imx 8 nano EVK via UUU. I think that should be a very simple, ordinary thing to do. But it fails.

I downloaded LF_v6.6.36-2.1.0_images_IMX8MNDDR3LEVK.

Using the latest UUU, v 1.5.182.

UUU recognizes the nano and starts processing but fails quickly with error: LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT. 

I've retried many times, but fails the same every time.

FWIW: I also have a mini EVK and I can write the mini EVK image to it without issue.

Any ideas what is causing the failure? And how to fix?

Here's the output from my run:

i.MX 8M | i.MX 8M Mini | i.MX 8M NanoLinuxWindowsRe: Unable to write NXP image to iMX 8M nano EVK via UUUYour response prompted me to look more closely at the download options. I see now that there are two with "nano" in the name: i.MX 8M Nano DDR3L EVK and i.MX 8M Nano EVK. I guess the one without "DDR3" in the name is for DDR4.

Using the non-DDR3 download worked.

FWIW, I used command:
uuu .\LF_v6.6.36-2.1.0_images_IMX8MNEVK.zip

Sure wish the online info was better designed for success.

Thanks for the help.
Re: Unable to write NXP image to iMX 8M nano EVK via UUU

Hi,

You are flashing DDR3 binaries to LPDDR4 board, please try flashing the proper LPDDR4 board.

uuu -b  imx-boot-imx8mnevk-sd.bin-flash_evk imx-image-full-imx8mnevk.wic

Trying again to attach pics. Seems to work better with jpg files instead of .zip.

Re: Unable to write NXP image to iMX 8M nano EVK via UUU

I did attach a zip file with images, but I don't see it in the thread now. I then tried replying again and attaching a simple text file, but I don't think it worked. The file seems to start to upload; showing in the drag and drop box, but then it disappears. And the message 'maximum attachments allowed' count stays at 5. So, I doubt the pic zip got attached in my last msg.

Re: Unable to write NXP image to iMX 8M nano EVK via UUU

Maybe you mean top side and bottom side pics. Attached.

Re: Unable to write NXP image to iMX 8M nano EVK via UUU

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products,

Could you share top and bottom pictures of both of your boards?

Regards
