Bring up a imx6 board

I have a kernel and code working for a sabre-lite board. We made a custom board that simplifies the design of the sabre-lite and adds peripherals we need for our project. The board gets up and running. I am using the manufacturing tool to try and set it up. It will talk to the board through the otg usb port and I get serial data back through the terminal. I get stuck up when I try to write the uboot to the sd card. Here is the profile I am using.

<LIST name="Sabre-lite-SPI_NOR & SD card" desc="Choose SPI-NOR/SD as media">

    <CMD state="BootStrap" type="boot" body="BootStrap" file ="files/u-boot-mx6q-sabrelite.bin" >Loading uboot.</CMD>

Got it to run through the mfgtool. I had to recompile the uImage to ignore the write protection. Now I am trying to get the board to boot off of the sd card. The

"Manufacturing Tool V2 Quick Start Guide" told how to flash the fuses using the following commands.

How to Program a Fuse

MfgTool V2 supports writing the specified value into the fuse.

The OTP fuse can be written through the following commands:

<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="$ ls /sys/fsl_otp ">Showing HW_OCOTP fuse bank</CMD>


<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="$ echo 0x11223344 > /sys/fsl_otp/HW_OCOTP_MAC0">write 0x11223344 to HW_OCOTP_MAC0 fuse bank</CMD>


<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="$ cat /sys/fsl_otp/HW_OCOTP_MAC0">Read value from HW_OCOTP_MAC0 fuse bank</CMD>

The fuse bank name (ex: HW_OCOTP_MAC0) should be changed according as needed.

I change the fuse value to 0x11204154 and the fuse name to HW_OCOTP_CFG1 as found in the IMX6DQRM (reference manual). The problem is the value returned by cat is the old value so the echo didn't work. Is there something else I need to do to get that to write? Thanks.

The problem is that you are using the same device (/dev/mmcblk0) for SPI-NOR and SD card. I found out on one of the ucl2.xml files

<!--

      Please use "cat /proc/mtd" to check the right partitions for NAND

      ,mtd0 and mtd1 are for SPI-NOR; mtd2 - mtd6 are for NAND

    -->

so NOR may be /dev/mtd0.

Do you need spi-nor for booting up. Couldn't you use the sd card for u-boot.
