Flashing android using prebuild image imx 8M

[mukrsh]

Trying to flash i.mx 8M plus with android demo binaries using uuu tool but getting a continuous error with the flashing script. (using Linux 20)

uuu (Universal Update Utility) for nxp imx chips -- libuuu_1.4.138-0-g051a8fe

Success 0 Failure 1
1:14 1/ 2 [HID(W):LIBUSB_ERROR_IO ] SDPS: boot -f "uuu_imx_android_flash.sh"

little modification in the script and that worked

echo "uuu script generated, start to invoke uuu with the generated uuu script"
if [ ${daemon_mode} -eq 1 ]; then
    ./uuu -d /tmp/uuu.lst
else
    ./uuu /tmp/uuu.lst
fi

Hi,

Please make sure that you have UUU tool in the environment variable PATH. For Linux the executable will be uuu, you may download it here:

https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools/releases/download/uuu_1.4.165/uuu

Even for a quick test you may place this file in the same folder as the android script.

Best regards,
Aldo.

Hello,

I don’t know which command you have used for your test, but please try with the following:

sudo ./uuu_imx_android_flash.sh -f imx8mp -a -e

This will flash the slot a to the eMMC with default features enabled (uboot and vbmeta)

Best regards,
Aldo.
