Kobs-ng mandatory patch for IMX6SX TO1.3 on the older release before Yocto_4.1.15

It is one mandatory patch if you are in the case:

The chip you are using is imx6sx TO1.3 and newer, and use the kobs-ng to flash your image to the Nand memory chip. If you are using MFG, you also need rebuild the kobs-ng, and update the binary into your MFG tool.  The patch have been integrated into the default release yocto_4.1.15, but if you are using the older version release before yocto_4.1.15, please make sure you have integrated the modification when you need to use kobs-ng to flash the image to Nand memory chip.

How to apply it to older version quickly: 

Apply the patch and rebuild the kobs-ng in yocto_3.14_x environment:

  • bitbake -c compile -v -f imx-kobs
  • cd tmp/work/cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/imx-kobs/5.0-r0/imx-kobs-5.0
  • git apply yocto_3_14_x.patch
  • bitbake -c compile -v -f imx-kobs
  • you can find the new binary “kobs-ng” under “tmp/work/cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/imx-kobs/5.0-r0/build/src”

Apply the patch and rebuild the kobs-ng in yocto_3.10_53 environment:

  • . ./setup-environment build
  • bitbake -c compile -v -f imx-kobs
  • cd tmp/work/cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/imx-kobs/3.10.53-1.1.0-r0/imx-kobs-3.10.53-1.1.0
  • git apply yocto_3_10_53patch
  • bitbake -c compile -v -f imx-kobs
  • you can find t he new binary “kobs-ng” under tmp/work/cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/imx-kobs/3.10.53-1.1.0-r0/imx-kobs-3.10.53-1.1.0/src

As one alternation method, you also can download the whole imx-kobs-5.4 package which yocto_4.1.15 is using to build.
