Hello I'm working on custom board based on i.MX6UL cpu, I have working u-boot and kernel - but stuck with MFGTool.

At the same time I have successful loading of my u-boot by imx_usb:

$ imx_usb u-boot.imx

What is wrong?

Solution found!

Please don't add this settings into imximage.cfg, it's cause a lot of problems:

//=============================================================================
// Disable    WDOG    
//=============================================================================
setmem /16    0x020bc000 =    0x30

kaa‌ the mfgtoolcli is poorly documented, actually, there is no documentation about how to use it. Instead, you can take a look into https://community.nxp.com/message/863693 that works with imx_usb_loader and utp_com utilities. It's working 100% since that's the method I use almost every day.

If you have questions you can let me know.

The same behavior is observed in MFGTool2.exe

gary_bisson‌ Would you help this? Thanks.

Hi jimmychan‌,

I can certainly help with imx_usb_loader which is a Boundary Devices tool, but it is already working.

The question above is about mfgtools which is provided by NXP:

GitHub - NXPmicro/mfgtools: Freescale/NXP I.MX Chip image deploy tools. 

Note that I've had success in the past with mfgtools on Linux with our i.MX6Q platforms but I don't have any i.MX6UL platform to test with.

Regards,

Gary
