Any way to reboot i.MX6 via MfgTool2 WITHOUT returning to serial download mode?

[eschumacher]

I am attempting to reboot an i.MX6 based system after deploying new uboot/kernel/rootfs images via MfgTool2.  I am not on location, so I don't have access to the physical unit in order to perform a hardware reset (which is typically how I exit serial download mode when on location).  I am able to enter serial download mode via uboot using bmode usb, just can't return to normal boot mode when MfgTool2 is completed.

I have attempted <CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="!3">Done</CMD>.  However, this just reboots back into serial download mode.

Is there a different command available that lets me reboot and exit serial download mode?

Hi Erik

mfg tool was not designed for such procedure, so seems there is no way to

exit serial download mode. Recommended procedure (with setting dip switches)

is described in sect.4.5 How to boot the i.MX boards attached Linux Guide.

Best regards
igor

Thanks Igor.  I understand the dip switches method for various boot modes.  However, since there is a method for entering serial download mode via software (u-boot command), I was hoping a similar command existed to exit serial download mode via software.  Guess not.
