Does iMX93EVK support serial NAND boot?

[jekim]

Hello,

From the MCIMX93EVKUM document, I saw the board supports Serial NAND boot via FlexSPI. Unfortunately, I haven't found any instructions on how to build a Serial Nand Flash image nor how to burn the image to flash. Is there any other documentation or example for this? 

Thanks.

Hi Harvey,

Thank you. I downloaded imx-mkimage branch lf-6.6.3_1.0.0 for github. However, the compilation shows an error due to ahab-container as below. Please help me to solve this issue. The untracked files are copied from the old imx-mkimage/iMX9 folder.

Thanks.

From the error, to build the target requires A1 version - mx93a1-ahab-container.img, the one that you provide is mx93a0-ahab-container.img

Thank you. The flash.bin file is built well with "make SOC=iMX93 flash_singleboot_spinand". However, the UUU is failing with the below errors. The iMX93EVK is set to serial downloader mode. What could make the error on UUU?

Change the nand to spi_nand

Harvey, I tried the spi_nand for uuu but it permanently waits known USB. What else I can do?

Have you tried to flash the one with sd.bin from prebuild image? and please check what shows from debug port.

L6.6.3_1.0.0_MX93

[Harvey021]

Hi, 

There is a support to build nand flash image from soc.mak in  imx-mkimage 

And please refer to the guide (uuu_1.5.179 ) for burning it.

Harvey
