FRDM i.MX93 debian fails to boot

[ieio74]

Hi all,

I created a debian image:

flex-installer -i auto -d /dev/mmcblk0 -m imx93frdm

but when I try to boot it I got the following:

What am I missing?

Hi @ieio74!

Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

I am not facing the error by my side.

Try deleting all of the partitions using gparted and try the next commands:

$ sudo flex-installer -i pf -d /dev/mmcblkx
$ sudo flex-installer -i auto -d /dev/mmcblkx -m imx93frdm

Change the x with the number of your device.

Best Regards!

Chavira

Thank you @Chavira.

 I followed your instructions and now I have debian running on my FRDM i.MX93.
